After a year of searching the internet I actually found out that I'm not alone with this problem.I'm a 28 years old male and I've had problems since about summer 2005. It just appeared out of nowhere. My main problem is that I just smell like poop although I don't fart. And it really smells like poop, not regular fart smell.A lot of the times I don't notice the smell myself but others do. And it affects your social life enormously. I quit my job partly because of this problem. All you wanna do is lock yourself in your apartment, because every social event is a big pain. And you get to hear a lot of comments like "what the hell is that smell", "he pooped his pants", "he need dipers"...And some of my acquaintances has stopped wanting to go out with me because it just stinks wherever I go. When it comes to my family they have all noticed it, however not as often as others. The same goes for my best friend. And this seems to be common for a lot of us, people you're around much or live with don't seem to notice it as often. Luckily I have a few really good friends that knows about my problem and accepts me anyway. Although it's not very likely we'll be dining out...In 2005 I didn't notice it at all, I just reacted that people always were saying that it smelled bad. I was like "what the hell are they talking about". But for the last maybe 2 years I've started to notice it more myself and I also believe it's gotten worse. I also have constipation, worrying and bloating abdomen. For a couple of years I lived a VERY unhealthy life. Was living on McDonalds and pizza every day and drank 1,5 L coca cola/day. And it went on for over 2 years. Have wondered if that could have had some affect on my problem...? I also smoke. And I once had an allergychock and had to go to the emergency. I'm pretty shure that actually was in summer 2005. But the doctor never found out what I was allergic to. Two days later the rash disappeared and I didn't really think about it more. Had fast food and a nut chocolate ice cream the day it happened. Also had big problems with wisdom teeth, still have those two left. I also stopped working out (gym) in spring 2005, and felt more stressed and worried over personal problems.Would be interesting to know what people with this problem have in common when it comes to life style. To see if there's some kind of pattern?And no one seem to know where the smell/odor is coming from. It hasn't been confirmed that it really comes from your anus, has it? Although thatwould be the most logical.Anyway, I've had three different doctors. Checked liver values, cancer cells, hepatitis, hiv, ultrasound (fatty liver and more), gluten and probebly more stuff I can't remember. Everything looks normal. The doctors are clueless and my third doctor thought IBS might be a good diagnosis. I'm not super convinced since IBS can mean absolutely anything. I'm going to take a dna test for lactose intolerance and after that I have a couple of things to try out to experiment with.Feel free to post any comments, suggestions, questions...
