My tears are dry now I can explain my story. Just like you guys I was somebody on a path of excellent living. My field of joy required for me to be seated 9-10 hours daily. I had purchased a cheap car,this  is where I thought that rancid smell came from first,or it coulda been the moldy apt. I rented for 6 mos. Either way my life changed dramatically. A co worker shouted "It reeks of *** in here!" My asset was moist so went to check. OMG! I just had showered,lived a block from my job.HOW!? WHEN!? Most importantly WHY!? I want to start a group for humans like myself! The ones with working noses,the believers of our unique problem. Ya know what hurts the most,, you know,, when no one believes us.Paranoid you say! Lets get proof of nose scratchers ,coughers,fake eye diggers! You are apart of My club until you're fixed and smell free like the others. Lets date,chat,go out with each other. I too have suicide riding in my mind some where along the stank,but wish to shed a Bright smellfree light on this they call "Paranoya"

thats great news Depressed guy :) glad you posted back,

Now that you mentioned that, I wanna add, in 2005, a doctor took a Xray of my large intestine because I told her I had issues with smelling bad from the anal region. The xray showed I had megacolon, so she put me on fiber and got me a referral to see the specialist.

The specialist didnt find anything wrong with my bowels after a segmoidoscopy. had alot of fiber and a small laxative as a presciption.

Didnt stop the symptoms. Dealt with the problem for another 5 years until I couldn't handle it anymore(bad comments). Saw a specialist in 2010, told him I've seen 2 specialists already, he puts me through a Defography with a Barium enema, find out when making a BM, I leave stool inside my rectum, about 2 and a half inches of the stuff. I am looking at the feed on the T.V., and I tell the doctor there, "why can't I feel that?"

Because being constipated so long the nerves around my rectum have become weak as well as the muscle.

Have a BM, smell bad, during and after. Be constipated(and not know it), smell bad during and after.

Looking to see another specialist and push to have the lower end of my colon taken out and the anus sewed up tighter. Wouldnt mind having a colostomy bag, as a option too. At least when I leak, it can be managed.

I was a Fecal Hoarder as a child, since 1st grade up to freshmen in high school :( stopped cause I knew it would cause problems in the long run, and it did after H.S.

Hope you respond back ASAP, could use your input ;)

guys i just returned back from the hospital. a surgeon examined me and told that i have too much constipation and because of it i have started developing piles.. he gave me some medicines and told me to use them for 20 days and told that my problem will get solved.
if it persists then he told me to undergo a minor surgery to overcome it.. will post here after a month telling whether the medicines actually worked..

guys Im in tears hearing your problems.Im also suffering from it from 2 years. Im a 18 years boy from India.. there is always a **** smell coming from my body even after coming back from the washroom.Im always in the taught of suicide because this stigma has ruined my life.all this started when i had completed my 10 th grade wit very good marks and joined a reputed college. al was normal until one unforgettable day. i attended a wedding where i ate and from the next morning my life was complete hell.i was not understanding what was goin wrong with me..everyone around me like my friends,teachers would smell poop and it was a very embrassing situation for me.sometimes my friends ask me what's wrong wit me and Im speechless.. now i have joined an engineering college and the problem persists.i have developed very low self esteem and don't mingle wit much people,don't attend anybody's homes,nor weddings.. Im depressed all the time.this has affected my studies and i have gone down from a distinction holder to a below average student.. all my happiness,joy has vanished.. i had bowel problems right from childhood but i never took it seriously. i visited doctors but they don't understand my problem and send me wit some medicine which is of no use .. because of this i have stopped visiting doctors. its soo embrassing.. whenever i visit the washroom small amount of poop has come out without my knowledge and i think that was the reason for the stench. but even after cleaning up the smell continues. i had small haemmorids and i think i have them. and i have decided to attend a new doctor who is specialist in bowel problems tomorrow. i would pray for you all suffering so that you get rid of this problem. please do pray for me  too

Maybe some people have got over these problems, but they simply don't tell anyone. It's an akward condition, and many people don't even like interacting with people who have a similar problem. Many people come on and make one post to see if they can be helped, without offering to help others. Even as i type this i know nobody is even going to care in the slightest. I'm at a stage where i'm fed up looking for help. Good luck to anyone in their quest for a solution.
