OMG , i'm so dumb! Guys this is NOT SWEATING! sweat does not sweat ! sweat doesn't create odor. For example your armpits sweat but the bacteria causes the odor. Anyways it is not sweat ! you think it's sweat because it just gets wet and you're not sure. THIS problem is Anal Leakage ! or fecal incontinence! My problem started in September , when everyone said "what is the smell" .I was scared and thought it was me because my butt was wet. A lot of people sweat in that area when playing sports or going to the gym but most don't have a smell. If you have thses symptoms then you have anal leakage:

-When you sit down your butt get wet.
-Awful Smell
-When you are sitting it feels like you need to poop or something and you are trying to hold it.
When you wipe your butt , it gets wet after 4-6 minutes or less.

So if you wipe , the sweat i gone! But this is not sweating guys! THIS is Anal Leakage! I am meeting a surgeon to get this cured.

You're probably leaking because of many reasons like Inflammatory Disease or Constipation or Diarrhea or maybe anal nerve muscles are damaged. So see ur doc.

In the mean time i found things that reduced the smell and wetness but not COMPLETELY ! The smell is still there and people do notice it but it's more comfortable and less leakage. This is what helped me a little.

- Have a bowel movement once a day(normal) if can't then u have
constipation that is causing the problem

- Practice to control the external anal sphincter : Tense ur anus as hard as you can for 5 seconds or longer as if you were trying to hold gas. Practice ten times a day.

- Relax and don't be stressed cuz it can cause this problem too.

-after bowel movement before wiping tense up butt for 6-10 seconds and release for 3-5 times { this will leak most the waste in you butt]

- Drink Cranberry Juice and eat Garlic daily ! Cranberry juice is really good for digestive system!

- eat Healthy like Yogurt and eat foods with high vitamins and proteins like eggs and Orange Juice has 100% vitamin C which is really good.

-Shower Daily and scrub that are gently with loofah.

-Exercise daily and or play sports.

- Don't Wipe too hard because you will damage your anus , take your time.

-Eat FRESH vegetables and FRUITS which helps too.

-Take a lot of fiber (Metamucil)

So guys i did this on Sunday and i saw improvement on next day (Monday at school) and it's Wednesday and still go better and more comfortable!
I hope i can cure this! People still do notice the smell but it has gotten better! I hope it goes away soon! Don't sit somewhere for too long! I sit in class for 75 minutes and i try to get up at least twice for whatever excuse ! LOL!

But yah , and the other thing is if you shower daily and you have that butt smell ; RElax and don't think it's always you who smells like ****! you don't smell like **** generally. I found that stress and thinking it's always you and getting embarrassed is also  another cause of this! You have a medical problem and that's why it smells so JUST  RELAX and be comfortable!

BUT until you get CURED , just ignore people that's what i try to do! If people or your friends are nice and REAL friends then they won't make fun of you! I hope this helped ! I swear i thought it was sweat at first but noo no no it was leakage . I will update when i meet my surgeon in April ! Later

Thanks for the info, very insightful :) So some ideas came to me,...

If its true that bacteria lines our large intestine and sugar can help a certain, unfavorable, strain of bacteria thrive, I'm wondering what kind of process takes place, like, would the large intestine produce more fluids, and could having more fluids have the body work harder to eliminate that substance, maybe cause odor in the process? Maybe, drying out the colon, causing constipation? Or the reverse diarrhea? Could a fluctuation in the large intestine occur between producing more fluid and drying out that fluid, over a specific amount of time, cause irritation?

What kinds of reactions happening when we introduce too much sugar to the large intestine?

I have read that having too much protein can make the body work differently in eliminating it from our systems.  We sweat the excess out of our pores, and it can smell of urine. I have had a relative who worked out a lot and ate a lot of protein, and after a jog, he would have a faint odor of urine. So I googled it and let him know, because his new girlfriend stopped by after he worked out, one day, and was standing in his room, I laughed tomyself when she said, “do you guys live near a meth house? Something smells like urine.”
Just something to think about, smells have a reason to occur.

I have so many questions, I should write them down. Have a good sit down with a GI.

People want solution to this problem and I know all to well. It's this food is no longer food, it's a chemistry excercise performed in a manufacturing process and then presented in supermarkets or promoted by some tv pisstake chef.
Like some people have said get off all white flour based products, cakes biscuits, anything containing gluten, suga!, sugar!, sugar! Look these gi doctors just love to carry out all the test under the sun, maybe it's how they train them at med school.

You don't have to consume all these vegs and fruits people recommend, as some of this fruit will turn to sugar.

Simply try this for 1 week : Gluten free diet and if you're not convinced. Gluten free muscili with hot water.

I had my smelly, wet feeling arse for over 40 years, so call be a veteran but this is the only thing that as ever worked for me 48 hours it stops almost like someone just turns off a tap.

Best of luck, feel free to message me if you wish
