flutence gas... gas smell .... uncontrolable gas

Hello everybody,

I have just encountered this site and felt little bit confident after knowing that I am not alone, and people are on way to their solutions. I hope I will solve my problem too.

I am 23, male, software engineer, Germany. I am having this problem for around one and half years and still I did not find any solution.

I release gas all the time, I don't smell it but all people around me hold their noses, scratch their face.  So it is obvious to me that the gas I release smells. Not only that, my breath also stinks. regardless of how good I brush and how long I brush, my breath stinks. So people are thinking that I am a nasty guy who do not brush and fart always.

I was emotionally forced to leave my job because of this problem, because whenever somebody comes to our office room, they complain that it smells like sewage and my colleagues stare at me suggesting that I am the reason. My colleagues discuss internally that I am the reason for the company losses because clients are not showing interest to come to our office.

I left my job and went to different doctors, they all hear to me, they don't consider it serious, they do only some routine tests like blood test and ultra scan. They will find nothing negative in the tests and come to a conclusion that it is infection caused by bacteria and give some antibiotics. But none of them helped me. Even in colonoscopy, nothing negative showed up. I took activated charcoal pills too, it did not help. I have used flat-d underwear, it did not stop my foul smell. doctors checked my anus through finger and told me that there is no damage near the anus.

I even went to homeopathy doctor, she told me it could be bacterial infection and gave some medicines but they too did not help me.

symptoms and observations:

I feel that I release more gas when I sit.
I have some sort of mild burning sensation near my left chest after eating.
I release foul smelling gas whether I eat or starve.
I have wetness near my anal region.
My breath also smells bad.

tests done /results
Blood test                            :  no problem found
Ultra scan(routine abdomen)   : no problem found
Colonoscopy                        : no problem found

I don't know what to do now. I got a job in USA now, planning to go to USA in 2 months and desperately want to find a solution to my problem before going to USA.

Can anybody throw some light on my problem?

Thank you very much in advance.

I hope we all will find some solution to this life ruining problem.

It may be an allergic reaction to something your eating. (or drinking)  Keep a journal of everything you ingest and gradually eliminate a certain item and see if you  notice any improvement.  Try to give up foods that are common for allergies first, dairy, certain fruits, spicy foods. (even alcohol)  Hope this helps.

I had cancer 11 years ago and had surjery then had radiation afterwards.... before that I was fine after that I too have gas all the time. I do not have a solution but I know onions and milk make mine worse, well also cokes. And yes if I dont eat those things I still have it but not as bad. I also have the wetness. As for the stinky breath.... sorry I have to ask do you brush your tounge? Your tounge is wear most of your stinky breath comes from. If you do.... try taking a toothbrush and toothpaste to work with you. And keep a can of air freshner handy. Maybe even a small one in your pocket.

As I read your post, and sympathized with your embarrassment over your gas problem,
wondered if doctors have discussed irritable bowel syndrome with you.

Symptons aren't exactly like mine were, but close.

There are medications for this condition, if that is what you have.

I am a 2 yr survivor of anal cancer treatment (2 types of chemo and radiation for 6 weeks)....with almost non stop diarrhea.  'There was no solution for me but to
put on Depends and get thru treatment, hospitalization for kidney failure and C dif.

My difficulties now stem from scar tissue in anus.  Altho' I am incontinent, I actually have less gas than when doctors thought my problems were all caused by IBS.

So just a thought from someone who has lots of experience with poop issues!

Best,
Ann
