Leaky butt odor! :(

Hello

I have done sooo much research about this and i have tried many things. Still the problem persists.
I have a problem 2 years now and i dont know how much i can continue this nightmare. Before 2 years i started noticing some strange liquid coming from my butt. it wasnt stool or anything, just large amount of a smelly (like fish then) liquid. I did some research ( im not completely sure for it, just what i figured out myself back then), and i found out that dairy products reduced that liquid from coming, still coming but not that much(in the end i am lactose intolerance too!), but still smelly butt all the time.

For example i would take a good shower, and after 10 minutes i felt the leakage coming out of my butt. I tried putting toilet paper and go out but it just smelled worst with the combination of bad smelled toilet paper.

After some time, i went to the doctor and he did a stomach examination. didnt find anything unusual. he also gave me Amoxil, and from Amoxil the fishy odor stopped and it only smelled bad like butt. So because it continued i went to the doctor last month and had a colon examination. He didnt find anything unusual.

Then i started searching again for treatment. I found about garlic. I tried for 4 days to eat ALOT OF GARLIC, because as people said brings a balance on the digestive system. I ate  1 and a half garlic in 4 days! every hours i was eating a clove. And this helped abit but still the problem returned. Then this last time i found something else. I bought PB8 Prebiotics and i stopped eating tomatoes, because as i read the problem was the tomato oil. I see no difference again.

And im at that point that i cant have other examinations, still smelly butt, and i really dont know what to do. If this continues and i know that it will last forever, why not just go jump from a freaking bridge?... Friends left me, i cant even think of having a relationship, and i cant work. I know many people have this problem, but noone found a solution yet, only few nonpermanent one. But i cant live this life no more. I have so many talents and dreams and i see them wasting away because no doctor knows about this VERY SERIOUS problem.

I need help really bad. Im dying inside..... im trapped. im going CRAZY!

Thank you in advance

Hello sir.

First thank you for your reply, i really appreciate it.

As i said i visited a gastroenterologist 2 times. First time examination for my stomach, second for colon. And he found nothing out of the ordinary. BUT i know many people with the same problem as me, and they also said that doctor found nothing at them too, not even a problem in their stool. So its actually an ivnisible nightmare, because there isnt really a *real decease*, even though it can ruin a persons life, as it did to my life. I dont even want to go out or hang out with friends because i know that i will smell and everyone will feel uncomfortable. So im really trapped on what i should do.

Hi there!

Well, without a detailed clinical evaluation it would be difficult to determine the cause of your symptoms. Possibilities that may need to be considered include GI/ GU infections/ inflammations, parasitic infestations, fissures/ fistulas, intolerance to specific food items, malsorption syndromes, GI motility issues, medication side effect, hormonal/ endocrine issues, growths/ masses etc. Unfortunately without a definite diagnosis at hand it would be difficult to suggest management plan. I would suggest considering a detailed evaluation by an internist or a gastroenterologist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate management.
Hope this is helpful.

Take care!
