Uncontrollable Flatulence

[Cobin]

I too and a sufferer just like ROCKBOTTOM.  I'm in the middle of getting fired for this disease.  I haven't done any of the tests many of you have refered too but I have to look into taking a few for better identification of this ailment.  All the best to all fellow embarresed sufferes.

God Please Help Us All!!

Have you had any testing done at all, and if so which tests? Have you discussed this with a doc yet" What's your diet like? Do you find that any foods make things better or worse? Are you constipated or experiencing bowel habit changes? Are you on any medications? What have you tried?

Any underlying medical conditions? Have you been on any courses of antibiotics?

You are not alone.. i too suffer from this.
Rockbottom, tony, and the alias "dyinAlilEachDay",just to name a few people who i found through these forums 2 years ago also suffer from this horrible disease.

I've been suffering for about 10 years now.  im 19 years old.  My high school life and social life in general was cut back.  The thing was i wasnt teased about this in school.  but i did have some embarrasing incidents in class where i wanted to kill my self.  

I dont know what to tell u as i dont know what to do myself.


Steps i took to try to fix it.
1. i used to do enemas every morning.  I figured if i can get all the bowels out of my system....i wouldnt be able to emit these odors.  However i think daily enemas might have damaged/ made my situation worse.

2. i tried taking gas x and other stuff to make my bowels hard (because i have ibs and i have very loose stools).  I noticed... that with harder stools the odors were reduced/nonexistant on some days..however i still emit odors so this didnt work either.


Everyday i think back and wonder why should i even live.  
Basically with this problem life is not worth living.
But i try to look at it on a positive side.
**** dude are you kidding me? is the reason i wanna kill myself
is over smelling bad?  i have not had a chance to live the world yet.

If you think about it, we are worried about others smelling us and therefore we are embarrassed and we get depressed because we are not normal.  But we are human.  we have emotions feelings and needs.  i want to experience the world before i just kill myself.  that gets me nowhere.  im dead and i dont know what love means and what life is all about.  

So by killing myself i will just take the easy road.  ofcourse we are not living a normal life.  we are isolating ourselves but we want to express ourselves yet we dont want to get a bad image of ourselves by smelling bad.  Im trying to be optimistic as i can. I have hope that 1 day somebody will be able to help us.  The problem is not enough people are asking for help.  anyways just hang in there
