Sweaty sock body odor

I have suffered for the last 10 years from a sweaty sock body odor. Everywhere I go people make comments about a foot odor. My feet don't smell. I have had all kinds of bloodwork, been to lots of doctors, and nothing seems to connect. I scrub with antibacterial soap, I have used foot odor products, I eat healthy and etc.
The only think I can link it to maybe is Bacterial vaginosis and UTI's.
Being on an antibiotic or a fungal (diflucan, ketoconazole) does not help.
Can anyone relate? Have you found any solutions?

   Hello.  I was just reading about the symptoms of Magnesium deficiency and found it can cause a bad body odor.
    You might want to try a good Magnesium supplement like magnesium glycinate to see if it helps.
    
    Hope this information was helpful.  Wish you the best

Here's something: do you have pets?  Maybe they would be somehow connected with your problem?

Thanks Blu,
I have actually been tested for what you are referring to, TMAU, and that was negative.
And, yes immaculate hygiene/housekeeping, ect. this all started when I started getting female issues, and has never went away, and actually has worsened over time. I have been there, done that, over the last 10 years. Supplements, antibiotics, antifungals, surgeries and anything that has been mentioned to try. Doctors are no help at all. I have been to every specialty out there. I have seen several posts over the last few years with the same problems so I'm hoping we can come together and get something solved.
Thanks for your comment!

There are people out there with such strong body odor that nothing helps, really.  Have you googled this?  It might give you some info that you don't already have. In the meantime, continue with your excellent personal hygeine.  Make sure that you wear clothing that does not cause you to sweat.  Wear COTTON underwear, and loose pants or skirts (I love to wear long, peasant skirts!).  Make sure your clothes are clean AND your bedding.  If you have to wash your bedding every day, then do so.  Blessings - Blu
