Odor that literally smells a block away but no one near can smell it

I am in need of professional health/advice. I been to the dentist 3 times and the hospital 3 times in a month and they can't find the issue. Now this smell comes from all openings except the ear, it sticks to my clothes or whatever I breath on, and it can literally cover approximately 3 blocks when it's at it's worst I kid you not. I'm a perfectly sane man and not crazy at all. My family and friends don't smell it but I'm forever getting bad reactions from Neighbors and strangers. It's not "all in my head"... I've been directly looked at and was called a f*ggot quite a few times for smelling like poop. I personally think it's candida but hard to know since I'm no doctor and doctors are telling me I'm ok. If I do then I know it's an extreme  overgrowth because I smell it from my throat, through my nose, my poo and urine smell like it and the smell even emits through my sack sometimes. It's very depressing and at this point I have 0 social life. I get a very minor relief after showering, after scrubbing behind my tongue and doing a nasal rinse. But key word is "minor". After a few minutes is back in full blast. I did the diet and the yeast cleanse but it's ********, well at least for overgrowth. The body needs half the stuff you shouldn't eat plus starving candida doesn't help kill it, it helps out spread more because it's looking for sugar to grow. The hospital gave me antacid for gerd and antibiotics for "the smell". I'm not taking them any more because they make me feel worse. Other symptoms are dry skin wherever hair grow including my face, dry hands and feet, dry stomach, dry shoulders. I smell it when I'm eating or swallowing anything, when I have to burp and I feel the gas before letting it out I smell it, when I stand up and sit down I smell it. My neighbors seemed more bothered by the smell than me. They're always cursing and shouting "that ****** stay smelling like ****!". My family don't believe me they just know I'm going through something because I never acted like this. I see what I think is candida die off in my stool every single time I go. I wake up shivering every morning  uncontrollably for a while even when in the shower. I use to think it's from all that food, drinks and foreign stuff like pills getting into my lungs from swallowing bad. But now I'm really fixed on candida. This is a first for me and the fact that for the first time getting it I have it full blown is having it's toll on me mentally. I really would like to get back to my normal life or even a better one. Please recommend somthing. The oder is what's doing it for me. I feel fine besides the minor symptoms like burping and bowl movement struggles. But that smell. Every day smelling like poop for blocks. It smells very sweet when I smell it on me.. but once it settled in the air that Sulphur/poopy smell is killing me and my neighbors. What can I do to clean my system that I haven't tried already. My mucus has it I think. But my nose don't run anymore and it stays in me and dry. Is there a way to clean my esophagus? Or my face?  I think every ashy area is infected. This candida is killing me inside out and it chose some crazy areas to infect.

I sure have many issues. I read about the anti fungal properties of vapor vapor rub so I tried it. I slapped some on my ear and took a nap. Glut in the shower when I woke up, washed it out and when I was drying off while my ear was still wet I took my finger and swiped the crease and a white/greyish oily discharge was all over my ear. I'm doing it again and this time I put a little in my ear

I'll look into that. I did a test to find out where the smell was coming from. And it's coming from my perineum and throat. I rubbed vapor rub on my perinum an instantly I could smell the contents of my stomach. Also what ever infected me didn't like ot because I felt my entire digestive track cringe and tighten. I'm almost sure is candida. I would like to try increasing my stomach acid  with hcl and ginger/garlic tea and taking some otc anti fungals.

I've had it for 7 or 8 months now of and on but for the last 3 months is been non stop. I just did a Epson salts detox, mixed with tumeric and a lil Apple cider vinegar to clean out my bowel and put some magnesium in me since they say you get these things from magnesium deficiency... It worked better than any  cleansing I did thus far but we'll see if the smell picks up again soon. I doubt I'll kill it in one shot but if I can get the odor down I'll be happy. I heard about tmau, and considered it because I ate allot of eggs, but I got this from eating, drinking and smoking like I was healthy and I wasn't. I seen allot of small gal stones in there when I went off, plus I was sneezing and had a runny nose which is symptoms of die off.. so I'm hoping that this will help. Still if you or anyone know anything, I welcome any advice to fight this annoying monster. But still this tumeric/acv/epson salt mix is doing wonders atm.

Okay. It sounds like something is working. I take Slow Mag which are magnesium with calcium pills that would be a good supplement if you need more magnesium. Eating too many eggs can cause a sulphur like smell it depends.
also, your olfactory nerve in your nose could be off. It is just a thought. Just depending on if everyone near you can smell it or not. If they can then it is probalby hormonal or diet (including some type of supplement).

Hi and sorry you are going through this. Have you always had this or did it just start recently? There are foods that can make some people smell like sulphur . These are eating too much onions, garlic, brussels spouts and broccoli. Also, there is a genetic disorder called:trimethylaminuria, which causes the body to be unable to break down a chemical compound called trimethylamine. is what gives fish its fishy smell, and when it builds up in the body it's released in the breath, urine and sweat.

It can be a hormonal problem that you could check out. Also are you taking any supplements?
