What Causes A Bad Odor On The Body?

I have this bad odor coming from my body. I'm not really sure where it's coming from but it just smells bad. It doesn't smell like body odor, it's more like the smell of a fart. I shower daily and use anti-bacterial soap, I've been taking multi-vitamins and magnesium supplements (I read online they fight body odor), but nothing works! Any idea as to what my problem is?
