try fasting. Dont eat or drink any thing but 100% pineapple juice and fresh pineapple. And water with fresh sqeezed lemon. It worked for me for likke two days and once i stopped the smell came back. I have more of a rotten smell. Im a 28yr old female and this problem just started to happen. I have more of a rancid smell. And the smell kicks in worse when i have a ciggarette. Im scared to start school cuz of the smell. I bathe 3 times daily and cant visit my friends cuz of the smell.  Im thinking if drugs could be a factor. Im gonna try the pineapple diet again but this one website might be useful leakygutcure.com

Hi,

I have been trawling through some of these sites and take comfort in the fact that there are people out there with my terrible condition. When i am out, during a conversation, some will say, "wow who dropped that one" As this is common when im around, i know that its me.

Anyway, I have not really seen one final cure for all of this. Surely there must be something. The other issue is that i personally dont know if any cure has worked, if i smell or not, eveyone tells me that i dont.

The other thing is, what could it be, its either coming from our skin, through our mouth or else we are involuntarily f@rting.

I am desperate to get a cure for this, it has been ruining my life for about 20 years, (im 35)

Joni, do not misunderstand this. I am not saying you are crazy or twisted or any sort of thing, but  a relative of mine use to complain of a vaginal odor she was certain everyone could smell. No one smelled it. Even several gynocologist noticed first hand that there was nothing. She started to see a psychologist that stated she had become hypersenstive to her own odor due to concentrating on it.  Ive also found that true of myself at a job where I take phone calls. Some days I am just more aware of the peoples voices around me to the point that I can't hear my customers, yet everyone around me swares it is no louder then usual. Just a thought that may be what is going on.

gosh your post really struck home with me. I have been suffering with a really similar problem for 15 years. I can't smell anything, but people around me say, who farted, or it smells like ***, like dog poo, ect. IT IS HORRIBLE and I don't know when I'm offending or not!? Luckily having a toddler in toe has been a good cover up. But the problem seemed to go away for years, and is now just starting again. I haven't been drinking a lot of water lately, maybe that's it... I also have had beef mince last two days running. I don't know. I am so sad, as a woman there isn't much worse then smelling like poo! I am too shy to go to the doctor, but maybe I should. I've never even told my husband about the problem, he doesn't seem to notice, nor does my close family. sometimes i think it's in my head, but it's happened TOO many times for that to be possible. Seems to happen more when i'm a bit chubby and out of shape. I am going to order some charcoal pills and probiotic pills tonight - fingers crossed it will work!
