hello ,have you been checked for TMAU ? unfortunately there's no cure only avoiding foods that contain a certain product its what helps,do some research i've suffer with odors for 15 years and still haven't solved my problem but i'm much older than you and i have withdrawn from social activities,about the only thing i do is work and come home,even my neighbors hate me because my odor is very over powering but it doesn't stop me from doing what i have to do,just ignore people that's what i do,and if they point at me i give them the evil eye and i point back,with me it helps that i have a pretty bad temper and i refuse to let anybody walk all over me,try probiotics,a little powder daily wouldn't hurt,there's a product on the market sold from a foreign country call tramarax that suppose to suppress the TMAU but it hasn't been proven,i tried it but i gave it up afte like two days because i developed a symptom which i thought was being cause by the pills and i gave it up,hope that helps.

Of all the posts I've read, yours has struck a chord with me. I have had exactly the same thoughts and experiences you have.
I'm a 32 year old male and have been aware of my problem and living with it for 16 years. I like you found out inadvertently, overhearing comments from school friends. Since then every sniff, cough and nose rub has been noted.
This condition has made it hard for me to make new friends; my self esteem is low and knowing in the back of my mind that the odour I give off will have a more lasting effect than my personality will as a first impression, makes me reluctant to even try!
I like my personality when I'm drunk - I'm outgoing, confident and have some respite from this constant splinter in the mind. It's a double edged sword though cos alcohol obviously makes the condition worse!
If I could get this issue sorted I know my drunk personality would become my sober one.
It was a surprise to me to find others with this problem. I genuinely believed I was a one-off freak of nature!
I've made notes of all the suggestions on this forum and I'm willing to try them all! Thanks to all who have posted - the black cloud has just turned grey!

@lonestarguy- 'sensory adaption' i mean at times my nose is able to smell my foul odour like during morning or while washing my asss.. but most of the other times it doesn't..
i determine whether im stinking or not by examining other people's reaction who are around.. feeling low to tel but its just the i do because my nose most of the time cant smell my own sheit smell..
@mr.brown - thanks for the name of the herbal plant.. i wil consult it a ayurvedic doctor about it.. i have visited 4 doctors+1 neurosurgeon but all of them find it hard to understand..
i can understand how low u feel because im undergoing the same thing.. this problem is not  socially accepted.. almost al the homo sapiens present are not aware of this uncontrollable shiet smell problem.. so no sympathy can be expected (intentionally misspelt some words to avoid getting sensored) ..

ALSO, my problem was with Liver, chances are - yours might be related to some other thing/s.

> One reason you may not be able to smell it yourself is because of 'sensory adaptation'.
Yes, i agree, i cannot tell if i'm what people call "smelling foul" until they stare at me, cough voluntarily or if i get them investigating the smell and/or whispering about me.

@depressedguy88,
Yes, i know how you feel, i suffered from this thing from my Highschool days, approximately 4.5 years, my whole High School Life was (and is) destroyed. I passed my HighSchool some 2 or 2.5 years ago BTW.

The Problem with me was that i used to have high constipation in my School days (upto 10th Grade), my lunch was basically junk at the School and i used to occasionally eat Stale food.

The Problem started when i was near to passing my 11th Grade, my body started smelling (to others) like i had not "cleaned" myself after bowel movement.
Everyone deserted me and i am (till) now basically a loner, with no friends (i don't care BTW, i'm fine with myself, don't need them, i only want myself to be back with a normally functioning body when it comes to this issue).

So back to the topic, i used to feel as if i'm wet in my rear end, as if i've just washed my rear wet, then i'd smell sort of sewage.

I'd like to add that i was taking heavy dozes of Antibiotics because i had developed pneumonia and it had worsened. My immune system was now more weaker than ever.

Then i developed another problem, i started having what people call "leaky gas", my life was and is more devastated than ever, since then.
I wouln't feel myself having any intestinal gas then, to other,s i would smell as if i have passed very foul smelling gas.

Every morning, i felt my self-esteem bleeding heavily, to zero and negative.
I could not dare enter a public bus, for passengers would stare, scold and curse me, they would let me know that they hate me (they "whispered" to me).
I couldn't attend my HighSchool for my Classmates would run away from me, they would stay far away from me, scold and curse me. I started bunking my classes and i would simply either be absent or bunk my classes (by running away). 1 of my classmate even mentioned this in his Facebook comment, he wrote: "you stinky *******, i'll tear u to pieces".

I was scared not because of him or his "threat" but because of my health problem (which had just popped up out of nowhere), which i knew would continue destroying my life further down the road.

Having suffered it for almost 4 years now then ..

THE SOLUTION came approx. 3/4 th of a year ago, i went to a Ayurvedic Doctor ("Vaidya" -- in local language).

He checked my "naadi" (they have this Ayurvedic knowledge via which they can find the problem and glands involved by checking your Blood pulses per minute) and told me that i had PROBLEM WITH MY LIVER.

He told me NOT to eat:
- Junk foods
- Stale Foods (incl. Foods cooked earlier than 3 hours ago)
- sweets/chocolates/sugar

He told me to TAKE:
- drink lots of water
- take his Herbal Medicine*

He told me that while it's our Small Intestine to absorb nutrients, our Liver has big role in digesting those supplements, when my liver was unhealthy, my body would simply be unable to digest those and i would have this soul smelling WET butt problem.

* The Herbal Medicine mainly works because of it's key component - it's called "chiraito", (google for "chiraito herbal plant"), makes the Liver healthy.

His medicine was of 1 month course, it DID work in the 1 months time and after that my problem of wet + smelly butt was gone. My problem of "leaky Gas" too disappeared over time after this as i started tking regular supplements of watger mixed (for a night) with "Chiraito" branches.

It's (Chiraito) taste is bitter, you can't have anything more bitter, than this (atleast in herbs) .

_____________________________________

I now have this new problem, i have uncontrollable Instestinal Gas (and flatulence) for some hours after bowel movement. If any1 has solution to this, please suggest me about this problem.

To everyone else, still today, because of the bad reputation that i gained when i was suffering from that problem, i'm the "guy who farts all the time continuously", never pausing for a second.

Huh, that sounds unny, but it's Not, those who are unlucky enough to suffer from it know how serious the problem is.
_____________________________________

I'm really sorry to those who have had to suffer because of me. But i couldn't help myself, it was a problem i had no control of. I want to say this to them face-to-face, but i know those who haven't faced it won't understand it, for them, it'll simply be something which they can laugh about.
_____________________________________

Hope my long comment helps some1 out there, because back then, "stinky ***", "leaky gas", "fecal odor", "my *** smells like poop" were my most used Search keywords, i used everyday searching for a solution to this problem ..

Regards,
Mr_lightBrown
