Why Do I Always Smell Poop?

[alyak123]

For about a year now, maybe a little more, I’ve smelled poop almost everyday. Some days it’s not there at all, some days I smell it briefly, and some days I smell it the entire day. At first I thought it was my clothes, so I constantly febreezed and washed them until I was told that my clothes didn’t smell like anything except febreze. So then I thought it was me, I began showering with scented body wash, applying scented lotion, and smothering on deodorant. Some days this makes the smell go away for a little, some days I can smell it anyways. Regardless, I have never been told by anyone that I smell bad, not even my friends who I am pretty sure would tell me, or my family who is usually very up front. Also, it’s not like everyone covers up there nose when I walk in the room or moves away from me. I have plenty of friends and they always invite me out places and I feel like if I smelled like poop all the time they wouldn’t do that, but also Im thinking maybe they’re just being nice or can’t smell it. Or maybe it’s all in my head. Anyways, it’s been causing me severe problems in my own life, as some days I’m so paranoid that I smell bad or am hit with severe suicidal thoughts over it. Any ideas or suggestions on what to do/what’s going on?? Please help!!

I've been dealing with this same problem for about a year now. No matter how much I shower I still smell like poop. I've lost 3 jobs because of it and have become a serious recluse. Countless hours trying to find some sort of answer to what is causing me this nightmare. I finally found the answer. I have Crohn's Disease and the horrible smell stems from it. I can't tell you how to get rid of it yet because that answer still eludes me. But talk to your health care provider about IBD and Crohn's. I hope this helps out even if only a little. Stay strong and always remember you're beautiful my brothers and sisters.

ALSO, I’ve never been able to identify the smell on myself, meaning my pits smell like deodorant and my skin usually smells like the lotion. Am I️ imagining this or maybe i️ just can’t smell it on myself?
