foul smelling gas

[muerdeme27]

Ok so i'm 26 and have been suffering from FBO since the age of 10. I never realized I had an issue until I was tormented for it throughout my years of school.  Everyone else around me can smell it, but I can't. From what i understand it's like a bad gas odor coming from within me even though i know for a fact i didn't pass gas.  Needless to say it's simply humiliating and I wouldn't wish this upon anyone.  I'm in school for my master's now and I still hear the mean comments and naturally it affects my ability to do well in school b/c i'm so humiliated.  I would consider myself to have very good hygeine.  I shower 2-3 times a day, i use anti-bacterial soap, and use many body powders.  I use clnical strength deodorant-both spray and stick at the same time. I also use rubbing alcohol to rub under my arms to possibly kill any bad residue.

I recently lost my job and consequently don't have any insurance to go to any doctors.  Naturally my family thinks it's in my head but i know for a fact it's not based on the torment i've endured throughout my life.  I thought about pursuing a doctorate but the only thing that holds me back is i don't want to go thru another 5 years of being made fun of.

I take the chlorophyll pills and the probiotics.  I cut the soda out of my diet, and am in the process of eliminating sugary foods.  I was wondering since I do not have bowel movements everyday-could this be a cause of it?  My b/f goes religously and I go every couple of days and even that's a struggle-but that's how it's been all my life.  Would taking a colon cleanse help to eliminate this possible foul smelling gas/body odor?  Could it be an overproduction of yeast or perhaps foods my body simply cannot digest properly?  Is it recommended I go to an endocrinologist?...I've read so many things to try, but in light of my unemployment status, money is tight.  Can anyone recommend anything i can do to help eliminate this odor or at least modify it where i don't get made fun of as much? This has affected my life greatly...very negatively, and i'm simply at a loss as to what to do next ;*(

Hi, can you say is this a sulphur (rotten egg) smell or maybe barnyard smell? You are saying that there is a smell even if you don't pass gas but does gas also smells?
About sulphur gas:

Sulphur gas may be from small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) - what can be confirmed by breath test with lactulose done by gastroenterologist. Smell iteself should go away with low-sulphur diet (avoiding red meat, eggs, certain sauces, etc).

To avoid constipation:
1. drink enough fluids
2. eat foods with enough fibers: bread, green vegetables, cereals, avoid sugary food
3. be physically active, walk or so

Eliminating sugars is really a good idea. Sugars "feed" intestinal bacteria that produce gas. Elimination sugars might also help you in constipation, so try low sugar diet:

In low-sugar diet you eat foods low in glucose, fructose, lactose and sucrose. This is the first thing you can try.
If this won't help, find a list of foods high in sulphur, and try low-sulphur diet.
