Denver TMAU Test Lab survey click here
click to Read more/less

USA survey for anyone who wants to improve Denver TMAU test

begun : Dec22
end : no ending for now

A trainee genetic counselor is working at the Denver TMAU test lab. Probably as part of her training. As a project she wishes feedback on any aspect of the Denver TMAU test and process. You can fill in the survey and/or email her (email address is in survey). It's meant for USA people, but perhaps others can give their view too (as we have so few opportunities).

quote from her rareconnect post

"Hello all! I wanted to make you aware of a research study being conducted to better understand the experience and needs of individuals with trimethylaminuria with a goal of being able to create improved patient and healthcare provider education materials. Any participation is completely voluntary and all responses remain confidential. Feel free to use the contact information within the link with any questions or share the survey with others with TMAU."

How to control body & breath odor in 2014?

Not everyone has the same cause of BO/BB, so the treatment to control odor is not always the same for everyone. Not everyone has TMAU, and some are more concerned with other types of FMO3 body odor also resulting in halitosis (bad breath), generalized body odor, vaginal odor, and/or bromhidrosis (underarm, external groin area, feet). Some of the causes of breath and body odor may be localized, like the dorsal tongue, tonsillitis, tonsilloliths, or bacteria on the feet, for example, these are things that your dentist, podiatrist, gynecologist, and/or medical doctor can help with.

However, most difficult-to-control odor comes from within. It usually originates in the intestinal flora. Some of the metabolic pathways (FMO3 and others) that could be deficient work with, but are not limited to, the metabolism of TMA, sulfur (hydrogen sulfide),

volatile fatty acids (scroll down to see all posts on short chair fatty acids), alcohols, auromatic ring compounds, sugars, dairy and others. See medical paper about the emerging role of H2S in the colon - 2003 paper, "Emerging role of hydrogen sulfide in colonic physiology and pathophysiology" suggesting H2S as human "gasotransitter." Unfortunately, there are limited tests available, such as the blood test for diabetes and the TMAU test. In addition, in some cases, the sufferer's metabolism may not be working well at metabolizing to a non-odorous state certain odorous chemicals that we get from food and drugs, see post “FMO3 Odor (not necessarily TMAU)." When we mention “drugs” we are referring to some (not all) prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, alcohol, marijuana, and street drugs. Also see PowerPoint presentation made for MEBO by Dr. Elizabeth Shephard, who is currently undergoing government funded research for a therapeutic for TMAU odor, "Pharmacogenetics & Personalized Medicine," and "FMO3 - a protein that can multi-task."

Your gastroenterologist can help look for digestive disorders that may be producing odor, such as H pylori or GERD, for example. Unfortunately, the existence of others test for odor conditions are unknown to our community. This is why the MEBO community around the world work so hard to pursue research, and the raising awareness campaign is very much a part of this pursuit.

RE DIET: Aside from the diabetic diet and diets recommended by gastroenterologists for digestive health, there really isn't any other diet published in professional journals specifically for odor conditions, other than the low choline diet for TMAU sufferers. Coincidentally, the low choline diet is also somewhat low in proteins and sulfur, so this diet also may help those sufferers whose gut flora may be producing too much odorous chemicals from these food sources or from medications. As we know, the human body needs protein, choline, fats (the good kind), and carbs (as opposed to simple sugars). Even if an attempt is made to completely eliminate any of these in everyday diet, eventually our bodies will scream out with strong, uncontrollable hunger urges for these foods; otherwise, we will become very ill and potentially die. So, the solution to successfully stay on a diet as a lifestyle change, food from these food groups need to be consumed. Therefore, in order to control odor, each sufferer would need to decrease the amount of the foods that produce body/breath odors while trying to consume food that keep us healthy and odor-free.
