silent and deadly
So I've been noticing when I get stressed my butt warms up and I produce this hot smelly gas..its very embarrassing, a lot people will say who farted....I always just plug my nose to pretend it wasn't me.. but I know in fact it came from my bunghole....I don't know if this is ibs.. I'm wondering if I just don't clean my *** enough and when I get stressed the feces in my pass gets heated up and starts fermenting sulfur compounds...can anybody help
I just realized you were asking something else there in the very first comment, although my previous post does go with your last post. Use the medhelp search engine and look up fructose malabsorption. I can't relay the information well enough to give you any proper information myself, so it's better if you look this up on your own. I can't remember the screen name of the one who posted a great deal of information on his diary he made public for the purpose of helping others. I think it's definitely worth looking this up to see if any of his information may apply. It may help you prevent those embarrassing silent but deadly episodes. Something in your digestion is definitely causing this. I don't think it's just IBS. I do think it's a combination of IBS and fructose malabsorption. I remembered something about the sulpheric smells that people were complaining about that the person posting the information associated with fructose malabsorption. I really think this is worth your investigation. Fructose malabsorption doesn't sound like something you want to neglect taking action on. It sounded like a nutritional malabsorption that is as bad as the malabsorption that Celiacs can suffer from. Please look for this information. I don't have sufficient information to offer you on my own, but at least I remembered the key stuff you can look up yourself.
It's possible. Many with IBS have gluten intolerance. There is gluten in a lot of personal care products, so it really does matter a lot. Also, use the medhelp search engine and look up fructose malabsorption. I've read some information on those posts that may help some here with the odor issues. I can't really relay the information properly myself, so I think it's better if you can find those older posts yourself. Right off hand I can't remember the screen name of the person who had this useful information. I think it might be worth investigating, though.
You could try using shea butter if you're interested in a neutral hair wax substance that is also natural. It comes from Africa. A lot of people use it in their hair instead of petroleum jelly or "hair food" (most hair food is simply scented petroleum jelly with fragrant herbs in addition to "fragrances"). You can also use coconut oil. The coconut oil might even cover up the smell that is concerning you that you say comes from your hair when you feel hot. You just use the same coconut oil you cook with and eat. You can get it at a health food store or a supplement store. Since your skin absorbs things directly, make sure it is extra virgin. Yep, just like with olive oil. You can use it in your hair instead of cooking with it if you're also trying to save money. Therefore, it would make sense to get extra virgin, because it has omega 3 fatty acids that are healthy for you that would be absorbed by your skin on your scalp and through your hands from applying it. Any left on your hands, go ahead and rub into your skin on your arms and legs. I've seen the smaller jars of the extra virgin coconut oil cost around $5.00. I get a larger one with much more in it for only about $3-4 more, which is more cost effective.
It could sound strange to people with allergies, but coconut oil of this nature is hypoallergenic to most of us who have allergies, even though that shredded stuff we grew up knowing about is not hypoallergenic. I discovered the problems with the stuff most of us think of concerning shredded coconut are 10-fold. It's usually sweetened and the stuff in the packages most people think about is full of unhealthy preservatives called sulfites. Many of us are actually sensitive to the sulfites in the preservatives and the sweeteners. Unless you are specifically allergic to coconut, as in a true iGE allergy, you should be able to use this coconut oil I'm talking about that you can buy in the supplement store. Usually those stores are discounted places and the stuff is much cheaper than something similar in the grocery stores. In the case of coconut oil--a huge and significant difference in cost.
You see, I have Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS) and things in the air can and do upset my stomach and therefore my IBS. So, there likely is some kind of reaction with your hair care products you're using, if that's the kind of wax you're talking about. I think it's worth considering the shea butter and coconut oil. The shea butter was used traditionally in Africa for centuries. Many in this country knew about it but it wasn't widely available like it is now. It isn't terribly expensive if you buy it in the supplement store when you go to buy the coconut oil. Both the shea butter and the coconut oil can be used both externally and internally. They can be used on your hair and all your skin. It can be used instead of petroleum jelly when using those overnight dry skin treatments. Works better actually. They can be used either separately or together. I think it could be worth a shot.

do you guys ever think its coming from hair products? Sometimes i get this feeling that when my body heats up, the wax in my hair starts to smell like gas..But I really dont know if its coming from my colon, mouth, hair product, mold on my clothes.. Im just clueless... I just recently got my wisdom tooth extracted which smells like butthole.. So, im hoping that was the cause, if not, back to ruling out the possibilities. So guys, try sticking a finger around the back of your gum lines, it could be an infected tooth, or a gum that has collected food debris and is decaying in your mouth.
Me, too--I know what you both mean. I've had it off and on for a lot of my adult life. I'm otherwise healthy. By now I'm mainly just trying to deal with the social problems - mostly fear of them since I tend to not get in close indoor situations when this is going on.
I suppose this is a way to find out who your real friends are.
There seem to be quite a few of us. Maybe there will be help coming along.
