PONDERING SUICIDE IF I CANT GET HELP !

Digestive health

Hello well I am 33 yrs old and for a year now I have smelled like farts/poop.

Its not a 24 hour smell its like I have just farted or poo on my body but i haven't. 

I am not mentally I'll or making this up;as my GP would accuse me,even 2 doctors told me they are not Mgicians to tell where the smell is coming from in my body,that I should know,but the truth is I dont know but certainly there is a smell and very unbearable for people around me.

I can't smell this fart/eggs smell myself but family members friends and work colleagues can.I work as concierge and even a couple of my residents complained about it in the reception when I am on duty. 

its not all the time because i can be at place and everything will be fine then all of sudden people are like who farted.

I have shared Flats with 3 diferent families and all have complained and I have had to leave in shame.You come in my room and you cant stay when the smell starts.

I have cried on the public transport a couple of times.I dont  even have a social life anymore.

I shower twice aday and very clean person.I dont wear any clothing 2 times as I have too many to choose from.

I believe I am good looking guy have expensive clothes but this is killing me i have not been happy for abit more than a year and i don't know what's going on with me i been attending the doctors and NHS having test but still have no results. 

My stomach always makes these gurgling noises and air being crushed bit like hungry pain noises..Plus many other symtoms like contipation,frequent painful belching,severe lower back pain,always having and needing to clear my throat,bloating and very often I feel different kinds of pain to the left side of my body.Now chest pain just started surfacing.But above all is the blurred vision which definitely is accompanied by sever headache.

I need your help anyone and its so hard to keep the will to live but i know i have alot to offer in this world and i loved life before this started .

Oh Lest I forget, i get this weird taste/smell in my throat and my breath smells like poop. 

Anyway i hope you can help me and i would appreciate any help,support thanks alot

Sorry to hear you are so sad. Have you tried taking things out if your diet like dairy for instance, you do have ibs symptoms x try just eating plain food and drink. Could it be bacterial overgrowth? Have you had stools amslysed? Try taking probiotic pills? Or digestive enzymes to help? Can you pinpoint when it started? Look up low fodmap, cut out wheat and dairy and alcohol and avoid sugar and see if that helps smile

3

try raw apple cider vinger in warm water  , it has to be the raw type cloudy this is something that is called MOTHER  yes mother it is full of good stuff that helps with digestion bad breath acid ,and lots of other stomach problems . 

look in to it see if you think it might help .

4

if this dosent work after a few months 

i would see a homeopath they listen to all your symptoms

and your previous medical problems and take it all into the picture 

and treat the whole person .

I agree with the person who told you to try Apple Cidar Vinegar with the MOTHER IN IN IT. GO TO THE HEALTH FOOD STORE AND ASK FOR BRIGGS, ORGANIC APPLE CIDAR VINEGAR AS IT HAS THE MOTHER IN IT.

MIX 1 TEASPOON INTO 8 OUNCES OF WARM WATER AND DRINK WITH A STRAW SLOWLY SO IT DOESN;T STAIN YOUR TEETH ETC. DRINK IT AFTER LUNCH AND AFTER SUPPER. DON'T GIVE UP , TRY IT FOR AWHILE. IT WILL CLEANSE YOUR SYSTEM AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER AS WELL. HOPE IT WORKS FOR YO AS IT WORKS VERY WELL FOR THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM AND HELPS A LOT. GOOGLE APPLE CIDAR VINEGAR AND READ ABOUT HOW IT HELPS. GOOD LUCK

                                             LYNN

This is very complex issue which can have many causes, all of which will need to be fully investigated by a doctor or more particularly a specialist.

The smell could be from your feet, mouth or in rare cases from the stomach itself, So I would say this, there is no need for you to suffer in the way that you do, as you should get the ball rolling by visiting your GP.

Ask your doctor or practice nurse (or your local pharmacy if there is a delay seeing the others) to give you a blood glucose test, as diabetes can cause the same symptoms.

I would also mention at the time of your visit to your surgery that this problem is causing you significant anxiety and stress, as you may well also need treatment for that.

This can and will be resolved, so please do not lose heart.

Now whilst your situation sounds terrible and a confidence crusher, suicide should be the last thing on your mind. You say you have a lot to offer in this world so how about you stay alive to cone through yeah?

Anyways, I have met one person who was a family friend, who had your exact symptoms. They found out the smell was caused by sinus problems, so maybe have your G.P check in on that.

You're definitely not alone in your plight, I've just researched and found soo many posts on other health sites; some suggest tonsil stones, describing them as either black or white and smelling foul. I'd advise you researched this too.

Someone with your condition recommended taking vitamin A tablets, though I do not know how it helped them but it did significantly for them anyways. Please please please keep talking to your G.P. Many people on this site has had some experience with unhelpful G.P's but i believe in pestering if you must. Its your life and it may feel like its going to ruin with everyday you deal with this so if you must, book an appointment every week till you're referred to a specialist. They'll be more than willing to help then and who knows what they might discover.

In the mean time, I'd advice you try the apple cidar vinegar tip and research into sinus problems causing faecal smells, halitosis and in general exuding the smell of faeces.

I wish you the best and hope you can receive help soon, it'll be a shame for this to control your life any longer.

Hi friend, my heart really real really goes out to you. Please ask your Dr for a blood test for Celiac Disease, an autoimmune disease which has over 300 possible symptoms including burps smelling like poo. Your other symptoms are all on the list. I had over 50 symptoms in 40 yrs bc the Drs never put 2+2 together ... They wanted to treat the symptoms & failed to see the BIG picture until I got so sick that an endoscopy with duodenum biopsies was ordered & they found it. That is the next step if the blood test comes back neg which it quite often does. But the belly pains, gas, noises coming from my gut as if a small animal was trying to escape, joint pain, sinus issues, migraines, balance problems, depression, chronic hives, inability to concentrate, mouth sores, hemmoroids, heart palpitations, depression etc. etc ... All gone now! 

One thing you need to do is eat a LOT of gluten at least a week prior to the blood work. Don't worry, that's easy, it's in most of our processed food. Also be very proactive bc the Dr will not as there is no med he can prescribe & well... There goes his incentive.

i can't believe the difference since I've followed this diet... Oh my cow! I really had no clue how good a person could feel.

Please hang in there... There is an answer out there.

live long & prosper

Please please go back to your Dr on emergency Monday and take a print out of what you have posted here, and the answers and let the GP read it, that way no symptoms will be missed and it is important they know how low you are feeling. Accept treatments for your depression to help you get through this. Demand the tests suggested above, great advice from everyone. Take someone strong with you if you can to fight your corner. Be strong, and stay on the forum for support with us. Wishing you all the best xx

Have you asked your gp for gastro testing as sounds to me like a bowel condition to which needs medication. A breath test also could rule out anything upper gastro but could be as simple as food allergy/ intolerance or a reflux issue for which medication is available. I would request another gp for second opinion. I am a bowel sufferer also and have just been thro a year of testing to get right help.

Please make sure you go back and seek help. This is not acceptable to be just brushed to one side.

Good luck.

if it is genuinely your body not breath or leaking gas then there is a real syndrome called feacal body odour syndrome, look it up, i cant remember what the remedies are.

is it possible you are passing wind and not aware?

if it is your breath then you may have infected tonsils or something - if the dr is no help go to a dentist and get them to check your mouth

13

how clever of you iv never heard of this syndrome 

looking at this guys symptoms i would say that your right 

well done hope now he will be able to get some help 

you would think the doctors would no of this syndrome 

wouldnt you ,at least heard of it ,and made a connection.

they dont seem to know alot about anything 

these days . gp is right general practitioner  very general 

think you may have saved this guys life .

14

You are right the Dr's don't seen to know anything nowadays, bit ironic when you consider they have access to the Internet just like everyone else and they still don't seen to be able to work things out 😁

15

My G.P actually refused to prescribe me something once and told me her practice was trying to save money. Either that or she prescribes me something and tells me 'It won't work but you can try it I you want' <---yea, confidence boost right there doc!

16

i was really low in vit d and was told to buy my own .

still trying to find out why i am having such a rough time with my fibro at the moment.,no answers yet ,i am pretty sure its due to hormonal changes due to the menopause ,and the after effects of shingles that have left me with more problems than normal .

but they look at you daft when you tell them and just insist on more blood tests that come back border line

So I've been doing some research on leeniepie's suggestion of faecal body odour syndrome (trimethylaminuria) and thought I'd show you the nhs page on this in case you haven't already seen it

http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/trimethylaminuria/Pages/Introduction.aspx

It recommends charcoal tablets amongst other medicines which could reduce the smell and also cutting out certain foods from your diet. I started taking charcoal tablets yesterday for my IBS and I woke up today with no stomach gurgling or pains, its very easy to pass wind and I don't feel like I have to go to the toilet immediately and neither am I bloated. It supposedly has a lot of benefits so try that. I bought medicinal charcoal tablets for £5 off Amazon. I has 100 tablets and I take 2-3 tablets after meals, 3 times a day. Also, please consider counselling for your depression okay? These situations can be a heavy strain on the mind x
