Horrible malodorous flatulence smell, even if I'm not farting?!

[terriblefart]

This problem is ruining my life. My fart stinks like omg, and when I am not farting, I release gases involuntarily which smells like fart/poop/sewage.

I am a student, male, 16, who discovered this problem about half a year ago. I fart many times a day and very often. Worse, I smell like I continously release sewage gas from my anus, even though I do not have any feeling of farting. The smell is really horrible and since I am not able to sense that I'm farting (during the period of involuntary flatus leakage/discharge/emission), I really do question whether the smell came from my rectum or not. Contracting my anal muscles to keep the gas from coming out do not really help, and often makes it worse.

Personally, I find the smell hard to bear with. And if that is the case for me, I am sure it will be worse for others. Those around me even use their fingers to cover their noses, and they often breathe in and exhale deeply and uncomfortably which makes me really guilty that I'm causing them to suffer. Many people cough when they sit with me as well. I do feel apologetic deep in my heart, but I can only pretend as if nothing has happened, although my peers have already identified me as the stink bomb.

The problem started half a year ago, and it went away for about 2-3 months. It resurfaced once again this few weeks. I have been unable to identify the exact cause of the problem, but having researched on flatulence issues, it could be one of the following:

- Diet (include excessive sulfur-containing food intake, food intolerance, food allergies)
- Bacterial imbalance
- Physically damaged anus which causes gas discharge

Observations:
- The problem is worst when I am at school
- My feces stink as well

I worry much more about the foul smell of my flatus than its quantity, since the horrible smell caused much inconvenience and annoyance to others. I really want to get rid of the problem and know the reason why it is occurring. When I'm out, I cannot concentrate on the things I am doing. People are avoiding me, and I am also avoiding them to prevent them from suffering. I don't know what to do and I am emotionally depressed because I think that my problem is worse than a disability, in that it affects others with my malodorous flatuence and involuntary discharge.

I have read several posts on the site related to my problem and there are a few people who have the same problem as me. I hope that I will soon find a cure for my problem so that I can have a social life again. Best of luck to those with the same problem as me too.

I have been having this exact same issue for 6 months. You are a carbon copy of me. I have tried everything, diet change, antibiotics, juicing, probiotics, coconut oil what ever I do, it gets worse. Event seen a GI specialist, did a colonoscopy, GI molecular panel (stool panel), tested my colon for tumors, celiac panel, other blood work, all came back negative. He said I am fine but I know I am not. Just seen a homeopathic doctor and she thinks it's a certain bacteria causing it and has prescribed me some homeopathic meds which I should receive soon. Are you or anyone still having this issue? I am relieved I am not the only one.

6 years and counting... sadly...

I’m on 3

[BossA1]

I am having hope that this homeopathic meds will work. Hoping they arrive my Tommorow. Meanwhile I have stopped/limited bread/flour produces, processed foods, limit sugar especially refined, limit salt foods and all dairy. I also  drink alot of water. The homeopathic doctor believes it's a bacteria causing it. GI doctor says i am all fine according to all the stuff he did. Thousands of dollars appertly did not  find a solution.  Yes I know I stink up every place I go. At work people avoid me, even when I drive I have to wind down the windows cuz it's just continuous. I carry this lavender hand sanitizer spray that i buy at a foods store that smell good and spray it often. It's hard, but I am not giving up hope. I will never quit my job because i have bills to pay, they will have to fire me. **** it, if they don't like me so be it, I am getting paid and that's all that matters. I remind myself these things often but it does get frustrating especially at work knowing people are talking about you. But whatever, they don't pay my bills so I can care less . This problem started when I was a kid and I was made fun off alot at school. It lasted a while but then went away and not its back worse than ever few months back. It would pay just to smell normal so you can just socialize without and issues. I am keeping faith and I will resolve this.
     Guys we have to be strong. I am down for a group chat/discussion if anyone is interested y'all can email me at ***@****.

I have almost found a cure. I started taking cbd oil. Just 2 drops a day under my tongue before I go out before a crowd. This stuff helps you concentrate and almost completely gets rid of anxiety (It is completely legal, certain health stores have it). I want to say the anxiety makes up for 60% of the problem. My mind used to be set on ONE thing and that was worrying about what everyone else is doing. Ex:(Rubbing there nose, coughing, dirty facial expressions.) I stopped caring about them. I starting caring about how I was feeling and being more selfish for me. I think we all deserve that. The other 40% of the problem is definitely physical and bad diet choices. I had an anal fissure and other health complications that lead up to my problem. I’m probably gonna go to the doctor and maybe figure out if my anus is maybe loose and see if I can get some type of surgery to fix me. God bless y’all just know there’s a lot of us strugglin out here.

[SocialBullied]

I’m going to try this. 99 % we have same issues found. I also went to the doctor AGAIN but they said it’s all in my head and everybody was bullying me because of something else. I’m been thinking crazily lately- I’ve started to consider going to a quack-voodo **** and maybe I’m cursed.

[creationgone]

Will try it out, did you experience any side effects?

[MightyMike97]

Dude, I have also believed that someone cursed me! WE know what’s going on, I wish the Doctors would care a little bit more about the situation. Cbd has helped me so much. The problem still sometimes acts up while on it but at least i’m not freaking out like I used to. My social life is slowly increasing to the way I used to live. I’m hanging out with friends that i’m comfortable around and won’t judge me no matter the circumstance. And the only side effects cbd is your concentration. It somehow creates a barrier from all the bad thoughts trying to ruin your day.

ATTENTON CURE FOUND

I had the same problem as you guys for three years. every single day I was in school I used to smell that smell that fart smell around me and  it's the wonder if it was me or not and then I thought it was in my head but it actually wasn't in my head it was actually reality and I prayed every single day and then I decide to do it dry fast but I am giving up on the first day and the night decided to decided to drink some coconut oil so I drink 4 tablespoons a day well for the first day I took like 8 tablespoons and second day I took like 6 and I started taking 4 and then after the first day I didn't even have the smell anymore even after eating because usually after I ate that's when the smell of pop up a lot and now its gone and i thank god almighty so i wanted to share this cure with you all. Coconut oil is anti inflammatory and anti fungal and anti bacteria. So basically whether you have a hemmorhoid or anal fissure or infection this will probabaly cure you. I wish you all good luck and god bless. Sorry for the grammar i used voice chat to type this.

[BossA1]

Tried it, made no difference for me

[Choclabby909]

I have also been dealing with this same issue...excessive gas issue. I can only come up with the solution that it's anxiety. I only have this issue around large crowds, work or social events. I feel much better knowing I'm not alone.

[Hockeymom45]

Ask your doctor about damaged sphincter muscle.

[Arianax3]

I know how you feel, I been suffering since middle school to now ( high school) many people from my school are doing thing that hurt my feeling too.

But I believe it anxiety that causing our flatuence

[SocialBullied]

Just recently, I am starting to “study” myself. I realized that it gets worse when we try not to breathe. For 4 years, I think I subconsciously developed social anxiety. When I’m in the classroom, I’m afraid that I would smell that’s why I am scared to breathe. It’s a big mistake. It worsens it. I’m not saying this is because of breathing because last time I checked this all popped into my life like a damned theif taking everything. I’m saying that not breathing properly worsens it. I know it’s harder said than done but I’m going to try to calm down and see... maybe also go to a psychiatrist or something.

[MightyMike97]

I have also noticed this. Whenever I go out to drink, this problem disappears completely because it’s like I don’t even care about it. On a regular day, my anxiety kicks in and I notice the problems start to appear..I do not know how to reduce anxiety because it’s to overwhelming. I try to breathe and think about other things but it’s like a dark conscious is watching over my shoulder. I need help..

[BossA1]

Tried it, didn't work

[Kai_12]

Any of you guys willing to talk about it? I have the same problem and would be nice to see someone’s insight on this subject.
