Dairy

Dairy products will likely cause body odor when lipids from digesting them respond with bacteria on your skin to cause odorous gases as a byproduct. The waste feeds the bacteria that contribute to your embarrassing body odor.

You should try consuming non-dairy alternatives, like almond or coconut milk.

High Fibre Foods

High-fiber foods are great if you need a power hit that’ll keep you satiated and full of energy for the rest of your day. But they’re not so good if you overeat them.

In fact, if you eat anything more than 5 grams of fiber, you’ll likely have very smelly sweat and a severe case of bloating. Of course, all that gas has to go somewhere, so you’ll be tooting along for the rest of the day.

Containing gases like carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane, high-fiber foods bubble up in the stomach in the worst possible way.
