Onion odor?

My sweat smells like an onion - just started this week and I don't eat much onion? What causes this?

MAYBE YOU ARE NOT DRINKING ENOUGH TO DILUTE SOME ELECTROLYTES LIKE SODIUM. BLOOD WORK IS NEEDED TO CHECK RENAL FUNCTION. DISCUSS THIS WITH YOUR PCP FOR BETTER EVALUATION.
It may be that you need to drink more water.
Hope this helps,
