Acidic foods?: It's good that your test results are normal. So, you don't have to worry. Our diets definitely can change body fluid aroma. Perhaps you are eating more acidic foods. A very dilute baking soda solution in warm water as a gentle wash may balance the pH. But it may just be your personal signature healthy smell. Glad you are okay!
