Are you sure the smell isn't more like acetone? Are you low carbing? Could be ketones. Google it.0 -
Low carb was my first thought, too.0

Well that's plenty. Might want to get it checked out.0 -
No need to get checked out that is normal to a point. The best way to minimize this is to increase your water intake. You can also try increasing carbs and decreasing protein but I would try increasing the water first.0
