A member asked:
How does a person get fish body odor (trimethylaminuria)? what kind of food decrease the symptoms of trimethylaminuria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A rare disorder: Avoiding foods such as egg yolks, legumes, red meats, fish, beans and other foods that contain choline, carnitine, nitrogen, sulfur & lecithin can help. Some of those foods/substances can cause fishy odor in other people: choline, lecithin, fish oil capsules (omega-3/dha & epa), canola oil.
