Embarassing smell from anus. (Page 3)

So I am 20 years old and have had this similar problem for the last four year, or at least that's when this ***hole let me know in a very rude way just about everyday. Although I somewhat thank him because he did what none of my friends would do for me and that's be brutally honest so that I can man up and fix my problems instead of just living with them. I would rather people tell me honestly and nicely when I smell so that I can do something, but instead I found out the wrong ways and have developed several psychological issues that I plan on dealing with after I fix this: If I make it to that point. Here's my full story which is scary similar to all the others here. Sorry if it is a little mixed up I went back and added a lot of things.

I have the same problem and I feel people are telling me I don't smell because they don't want me to become a "ghost" again. Which is what I did when I first started noticing it. It all began with some jack*** constantly telling me I smelled like poop, and then one day one of my really cool teachers pulled me aside and told me I had been smelling a little "ripe" recently. He is one of those cool teachers and "chilled" with us out side of school so he knew how I like to do "illegal" things and said it resembled a smell one of his friends gave of when he was smoking crack. I never really noticed the smell and now a days (3years after I was first told about it) I have been experiencing OCD again (had it as a kid and it went away) due to this and have become compulsively hygienic and health obsessed. I have also been working on my sense of smell; I have been eating foods rich in zinc and cleaning my sinuses often which I have always had problems with, and I have recently been able to notice my BO (which I am noticing right now). It smells like poop and I have been compulsively wiping recently and I often shower after a bowl movement but 30 minutes later it's back. I tend to wipe much more than when I was younger and sometimes I will finish have a dry fart and wipe again and there with be brown on the paper again as if I had some left over (sometimes even without the fart). I never did crack but I have experimented with a lot of stuff, I noticed that my stomach tends to be acting funny (constipation and diarrhea) after I drink a lot one day or doing coke (I don't do it often but when I do I'll usually kill a good amount of it like a gram or over). I have talked to several doctors and they told me it was most likely IBS. I have seen several different doctors because they tell me it's just IBS and I need to eat more fiber and stop smoking weed. I stopped smoking weed and cigarettes for several months and it didn't seem to help (also I eat over 32 grams of fiber a day and eat healthy and am about to become vegetarian), so this leads me to believe it's something more. I was so popular with girls since early middle school (this is when I noticed how girls thought of me, I was a child model too) and when this started happening I lost all that and heard more whispers of my smell rather than "oh he's cute" like back before 11th grade when this started. I was the happiest kid and have been trying to get my original life back, which has drastically changed along with my own personality. I was an outgoing center of attention class clown guy who would just walk up to a hot girl and start a conversation. Now I am a quiet anti-social who doesn't want to even hang out with my friends because now they are like I was (always hanging out with ladies) and I now try to keep my distance from ladies so I don't ruin my chances and can maybe talk to them when this is behind me. I am currently under my fathers insurance and that could change very soon because his firefighting job is on the wire (I have been told that even my fathers has a strange smell so it could possibly be a hereditary thing). I put in as many details as possible hopping that we can all collaborate and help each other figure this out. If anyone fixes this problem please come back to this page and share because I feel if anyone has fixed it, which someone has to have, they just forget about there fellow sufferers. So please feel free to email me and we can talk about it I am eager to talk to people like me on something more personal than these damn forums I've been addicted to for the last few years. Also if anyone has had any bad experiences with doctors, such as them thinking it's in your head and your just exaggerating, please bring that up too, because I have had such issues. Also I want to get this fixed ASAP just so I can start my normal adult life and also because soon I will not be covered by my father's insurance and I feel I might just give up after that. Also sorry if I blabbered on about things off topic I wanted to get in as many details because I think my previous life style might have had something to do with this.
* I just got a message saying the content of my post may be inappropriate I just revised everything and the only thing I still thing is bad is explaining my drug use, I am very sorry if it is offensive to some but I truly feel things like that should be discussed so we can find the common factor here (which has yet to be found seeing as how nobody knows the cause of this. If this website is truly dedicated to helping people my post should not be removed. If it is though please at least allow me to copy this before it's taken down so I can put it somewhere that is truly focused on letting people discuss the topic freely so that we can get something productive out of it. I am sure everyone here will agree that limiting the ability to discus certain things may also eliminate the chance of finding the common factor in all our lives that is causing this! I am still very sorry if my post is offensive in anyway.

Also as a child I was always below the average weight and above average height. I started taking protein powders and working out. I didn't bulk up very much but I am now realizing it was simply because of my diet I would party all day and sometimes not eat and when I did it wasn't a healthy meal (lots of taco bell haha). been gaining weight since I changed that and my symptoms seem a little bit better but not gone. Also I ate many diet food dinners due to my mother being on a diet. I would also like to add that when my symptoms kicked in it was during a very stress full time for me that is still going on today... my parents are splitting up. I want to start school and get away from it, but I haven't been able too do to the fact that now money problems, mostly from the divorce, are not allowing me to. I feel this is stressing me out even more, and the point of this is that the symptoms are, as I feel, directly related to stress and anxiety. I feel it got worse even when I stopped smoking weed. I smoked around 10+ times a day and started experiencing claustrophobia and other anxieties after stopping. I got another job and have been moderately smoking again and it has been relieving stress for me. I am not telling everyone to smoke weed though because I had ADD and some recent people anxiety and smoking helps me focus and not fear meeting new people. Also most people get very paranoid so in most cases it would make it worse, but we should all find something to help us all relax and basically not give a sh** what people think about us which was how I was when I was younger.

search Trimethylaminuria(TMAU) disorder and avoid meats, some choline riched foods, brocolli, calliflower, and anxiety. good luck and wish me luck too. thks.

Hey guys..

Yet another day, another strugle.

I cry out to God everyday, night, dawn, midnight.

I see kids just my age, who don't pay atention to school, smoke weed, or are just complete jackasses, and I am that guy that is nice to everyone and does not do any drugs and I am getting punished..

Anyways to my point..

I really think I am cursed.

Hear me out.

My parents dont smell me and when I cry out to them I have this problem they say I am crazy, so one day my mom decided to tell my cousins and her 5 sisters if her son has a strange poopy smell.. And I stopped chatting with my cousins because I KNOW they smell me, they cough around me, flick their nose, sigh about 1000 times, stare at me when I am not looking, make comments when I am not around, make me do stuff so they can see that the smell is coming from my butt, the whole shebang they do to me. So my mom told her sisters an my cousins, and here is the mind boggling thing. They said NO to her, they were like oh no way we never thought about him like that he is really clean, EVEN her sisters said that, NOONE IS TELLING ME THE TRUTH... NOBODY. I just want someone to tell me the truth.. I know it will kill me but rather than LAUGH at me and POINT and STARE at me MY OWN damn flesh and blood can't do it then who can? I told my mom that they are lying through their teeth, she thinks I am totally crazy.. I lost hope for a second but thank GOD for music or I wont be here discussing this with you guys... Yes I had suicidal thoughts because I can't take this no more.. No one wants to tell me and help me, they want to laugh at me and be rude to me.. I mean if I seen someone in my position God would I help them! So yeah I think I am cursed people.. When ever I am out in the public the strangers there despise me but when I go for a smell check to the Doctors MAGICALLY nothing is there.. I am a handsome guy in high school and I been told about 5-6 girls secretly crush on me but they don't talk to me because I am so anti social and I don't want them to get a wift of me and it makes their whole personality towards me to a mean one.. And now my parents are pressuring me to start life because I am 17 right now and they are telling me to get my learners, and a job and get well in school.. But the thing is.. I can't.. I can't focus, I can't do anything.. My sister and brother are both in University studying to be very sucessfull ones a engineer ones a 3D animator.. Now I feel like I am going to be that kid in the family that disapoints their parents and everyone else.. If I did not have this problem I would have had my real smile rather than my fake smile and a complete different person than I am today.. But then again this problem made me into a better guy because I stopped doing things that I used to do that were not exactly great..

Remember guys.

There maybe alot of people that hate you for something you cant control such as this.

But just remember.

You are not Alone.

I am here with you.

And by Gods light..

We'll see through it to the end.

God bless you all.

You guys don't deserve this.

It seems your anal sphincters are sloppy, whether by injury or by some illness of yours. Only a proctologist doctor can diagnose you properly and help you. As for anal hygiene: forget toilet paper and tissues. Best way is to sit on a bidet and wash your anus and groin with warm water and plenty of soap. And dont force your finger up the anus: it will only make things worser.

Hey guys just wanted to join in. I too have this embarrassing problem. My symptoms started exactly 3yrs ago when one day I just turned to a farting machine. But back then I would just hold it in and go to the restroom to let it out and I would move on with my day. Then it came to the point where I was gassy but had no urge to "fart," didn't realize gas was just escaping without my knowledge. Went to a bunch of specialists and was diagnosed w/ rectal intussusception. Problem was fixed and doc said everything is anatomically back to normal yet this leaky gas persists. Do you guys feel like there is a huge hole from your anus all the way up to your rectal vault when you're up and standing??? That's how I feel, and If I shoved a finger up my ... (sorry for the gross description) there is no resistance at all (thus no seal). It's just like a big hole that is constantly moist exposing my intestines, so i'm pretty sure this garbage odor around me is due to this. Kegels do help but doesn't fully solve the problem. Will see one of nyc's finest colorectal surgeon this wednesday, will give an update.

I have all these problems to like, weird odor. have to wipe and wipe and cant get fully clean, and moisture around anus all the time but do any of use when u go to poop it comes out real thin like spaghetti almost and also feel like u cant poop all of it out? dammit i want a fix for this it sux so bad.. i sometimes blow my girlfriend off just because its sooo embarassing ... worst bit is that im like a clean as person like shower 2-3 times daily and all that .....FML

does any of use poop come out thin and rectum feels real tight ? and moisture on ur rectum always cus thats what happens to me ... dammit this deasise sux FML

dude sounds like rectal narrowing or stricture if you say your stool is like spaghetti. Have it check out by a colorectal surgeon.

ok so just to give an update my doctor wants to do a recto-anal ultrasound and anal manometry. i'm praying to god there's some damage or something, i'll be heart broken if he says everythings negative

I have had this problem since i was 11, on and off. But mostly on, and i am now late 40's. It is depressing, it is embarrassing. I am praying for healing and beleive i will get it. There is a definite connection between bowel movements and intestine condition - and the intensity of the odour problem. The few years i didnt have it for, were definitely parallel with healthier stomach conditions. Dismissive Doctors and family? You bet. Cruel comments from everyone else? Of course. I have a meeting with a specialist Doc in 8 weeks. Unless it goes sooner. I beleive after all of these years, the end of it is near. Healing is Gods gift - good health is our responsibility.

im 19 years old and have been suffering from this for 5 years, its horrible and ive been looking for answers not knowing if im the only person in the world with this disgusting thing that happens, well now im reading this post and im not alone. my smell is caused by milk. ive noticed it for years that milk makes it extremely bad, but when i dont have milk or any dairy i have no smell. i am not sure how to 100% fix this, but i hope this helps some of you. if it does, you dont have to give up dairy completely. its not lactose intolerance trust me. use Lactaid brand stuff. its lactose free and you should see an improvement within a couple days.

Anal Manometry Results - low resting pressure, adequate squeeze pressure
Endoanal Ultrasound Results - normal upper/mid anal canal, DEFECT of the external anal sphincter of distal anal canal posterior midline! Looks like I found the source of my odor

This is from a guys blog that ii was reading up on. i too suffer from fecal smells as well as lower body (Butt and groin) sweating. This dude has pretty much the same symptoms as a lot of us so i wanted to put this up because he said he found a way to get rid of his problem

"...............So last tuesday i had a bit of a lightbulb moment. I have suffered from FBO and BO thts has been compared to "stale" among other things for about dead on 2 years. I also have suffered from problems sitting down, uncomfortableness in small places and excessive anal sweating among other things. For me the anal sweating was what i think was causing the smell, for some reason i could sweat in my anus when the rest of my body was frezing, it was wierd.

I had tried multiple things to no avail, things i had were activated charcoal, chlorella, goldenseal, Liver Flushes , Colon Cleanses , probiotics etc. None of this stuff worked at all for me, its because i was looking at it the wrong way and trying to treat something that was fine mainly my stomach(which i though was causing this stuff to come from the anal area.

So as i said last tuesday i had a lightbulb moment, i was sitting on my bed and was feeling really uncomfortable when i thought to myself suddenly this isn't right. I shouldn't have any pain or uncomfortableness just sitting down, your bum is primarily for sitting down.

So i went down stairs, checked my anus in the mirror and it was bright red, like danger red, i had checked it previously about a year ago but it didn't click when i seen the colour of it. So when i checked it last tuesday i remembered back to seeing it years ago and it was like a mixture between purple and pink which is obviously normal.

Then it hit me like a ton of bricks that i must have some sort of infection thats causing all these things. I put in things in google and came to the conclusion that i must have a bad anal yeast infection with a coinciding bacteria infection that is causing both the pain and the smell.

So i have a cream that i got from the doctor last month for eczema on the back which is called NIZORAL CREAM, i remembered that it was also good for treating yeast/fungel infections from when i was reading the leaflet that comes with it.

So i have been using that twice a day since, i have also been using Citricidal grape seed extract for the bacterial infection. Its a non toxic thing thats as good as antibiotics when applying topically at killing bacteria without side effects. Read up on the stuff its great. So i put 10 drops in 4 ounces of water and apply it to the area 4 times a day(read up on the internet about tht) along with applying the nizoral cream twice a day aswell( I also drink the grapseed extract 3 times a day because it kills bad bacteria, yeast, fungus and other stuff in your stomach and leaves the good)

Within a day i started noticing a differnce, within two the pain was completely away and within 3 my anus was beginning to go back to its normal colour. The smell has also disapeared, so has the anal sweating which i was getting so accustomed to. I actually went out on saturday and had a drink with my brother and friends for the first time in a while and there was no reactions, no sweating after i started drinking etc.

I was working today and its the most normal ive felt in 2 years, we were hedge cutting and working in a close proximity to each other and because of the warm day both sweating but there was no reactions, i felt normal and the day went great.

So its been 5 days since i first tried it(started on tues, its now sun) and ive decided im gonna keep it up for another 5 days to make sure the infection is gone.

Hopefully if i can help someone else then it will be all worthwhile and it gives you a different perspective from the usual one of my diet and stomach is to blame for all my anal problems.

Anyways i would seriously consider speaking to your doctor about this if you have the sweaty anus thing when the rest of your body seems to be fine, any problems sitting down or uncomfortable feeling sitting down, also the red anus.

I must admit i feel great right now, i cant believe my doctor missed this( he is an idiot though who tried to give me pills that stop you sweating and make you feel horrible and obviously didnt help, it feels crazy that i've lost 2 years of my life for something that could have been prevented.

Obviously this aint gonna help everyone, some people are genuinely suffering from leaky gut etc and its coming from the pours but im willing to bet there are a lot of people with my symptoms and trying the stuff for leaky gut etc isn't gonna work.

Oh and sorry for the length of the article i went off on one, but its just because i genuinely feel like im back to normal and its a great feeling."

I was hoping you all would immediately try this solution to see if it truly does work. Please share your results with this medicine as soon as possible because we all need to catch a brake.
thanks

So I had the worst news from my doc, he said he has no clue what it is as we've tried many many things over the last 5 months. Probably the worst day of my life... anyways what we did get down is that I do have a Gastrointerologist appointment in august, pretty much a guy who spends his life studying the intestines and everything else related to it. Im not going to lie, after cutting the bad foods out of my diet the odor has gone down, but no matter what I eat its still there. Hopefully we can get some answers and I promise as soon as i figure out something that works, I'll announce it to everyone.
...Thank god Canada has free healthcare, kind feel bad for the ones who on top of suffering have to pay money to figure this out...
Good Luck to everyone with this,
ill keep posted

ALSO!
Let me add one thing...
I have a weak stomach, and always have gas built up inside of it... and this might sound stupid but if you have to fart, fart. Obviously do not do it inside, go for a 2 minute walk outside and fart. This will save you an extra 10-15 minutes of not smelling... as rough as that seems it is true. If people who have this problem are like me and get gassy easily, try this out and you'll feel a little bit better about yourself
