What Causes Unpleasant Body Odour While Suffering From Anosmia?
I have been diagnosed with anosmia, had ct scan and MRI, they found nothing. Trying to understand why I smell a mold or musty or bad smell all the time. My food smells like something else and so bad I can t even eat a lot of it. What can I do next?

Hello, Since all the tests have been done to rule/out a physical obstruction, growth or nerve impingement, look at your diet next. A zinc deficiency can cause such symptoms as yours. It wouldn't hurt to start a multi-vitamin in the am with breakfast. Some ideas of easy foods that have no smell would be protein/fruit/milk shakes, fresh fruits, bland noodle dishes with bland white sauce and chopped white chicken/turkey.Don't eat leftovers.
