Gosh  you are so young and must be very hard on you knowing you're in your teenager years of social butterflies and popularity.  Teenagers can be very brutal.  May I suggest you and grandmother to stop frinking milk or eat any dairy and any food that contains choline,  which most food contains it. To seeIif that helps with the smell, then you can slowly add couple of items at a time to see how if affects you. In the meantime,  take 2 chlorophyll tablets and  xanathan to help reduce smells. Shower with actives charcoal soap. It's prety messy but so good for your body.  Good luck!

To the young man contemplating suicide, please dont. I know this was an old thread but just in case you check back. I am a 37 yo woman who everyone thinks is 25.  People look at me and think healthy pretty stylish etc.
They dont know that I've been so constipated before, that for a number of days I was naseous, and I felt the food backing up into my stomach, until I finally started vomiting poop. Yes poop. Disgusting.
I dont smell and I dont have your exact same problem but 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Endometriosis which demands pain meds (opiates).  The opiates cause constipation like you would not believe.

I have read the most funny/horrendous stories of people trying to poop. No matter what the reason for constipation, it is dangerous.  I think they say after several days you should even go to the hospital. Depending on your diet and medications, your intestinal lining could be leaking toxins into your bloodstream (like Celiac's disease or a number of other similar issues).  Even if there is no leakage, that waste needs to come out.  

I have been reduced to living on laxatives and enemas, which carry their own set of humiliations and problems. I tried Amitiza without help.  I am back to enemas and laxatives.  My self esteem has never been the same since this issue.

Additionally, my father beat his type 2 Diabetes YAY! But now has ESRF (end stage renal failure), another form of the body not being able to get rid of toxins. He needs a new kidney or will die.    

If I can survive vomiting poop you can survive what your going through. Remember, its only temporary. Put on your headphones and ignore people, go into a different world. I am sorry you feel so bad. I have been there and you are not alone.

I don't know where this all came from. One day your living a normal life then your living a completely different life. One you would never see in your future... It's one thing to smell bad, but this problem could smell up a whole room. People looking at you touching there nose or coughing when you walk by, even people your friends with.  It does hurt your feelings, at this point I'm waiting for them to do it.  People making comments like when I get off work I'm going to go take a shower,,,Does'nt everybody!!!    Why do I need to know that....Awe I see!!!
I feel like when they say that there trying to send a subliminal message...
I'm clean I take shower's twice everyday. I take good care of my hygiene.
At this point  I don't really know what to do!!
I've just been dealing with the problem.
But, its just messed up I can't really enjoy the things I use to love to do.
I was a very social person, going to a nice restaurant to eat.. catching a movie at the show..I loved going to the pool hall but how can I do any of these things now.
I started to drink  more to not let the problem bother me when I do  go out on a Friday or Saturday.  Just imagine a nice looking well kept person getting out of a nice car and soon as they get near they smell awful.
A smell I can't smell....In a way I wish someone could describe the smell and how far they smell it so at least I could get a better understanding of my current situation. My friends would never say nothing about my smell, cause they think there hurt my feelings....If they constantly rubbing your noses all of a sudden since I came around, Guess what?  Your doing it anyway!!
The wetness in your under clothes comes and goes, and never being able completely wipe after a bm.
Now I only shopping now when stores first open so I can get in and out quick without a lot of people in there...
Yup my whole life has changed...I know there has to something were missing that could solve this problem.  Like the others I cut out cheese, dairy. I eat a lot more fiber, salads, but nothing works. I just recently got medical insurance, so after all this time I'm actually going to seek professional help. But, after reading through all the other comment's I'm not as optimistic as I once was before reading the comment's.....
I'm not a big writer so excuse my dialect, I'm speaking from the heart!!
God Bless Everyone that has going through this....Stay Strong!!

Thanks!!!

Hey guys to let you know I have been suffering with this condition nearly all my life in one form or the other, constipation, bloating, smelly farts, stomach gurgling, awful smelling whilst defecating, along with whole wet *** feeling  I would say for about the last ten years the ordour is being the most prevalent ongoing issue.
I did managed to stop it and I'll explain how I cheaply and for sometime effectivlely had it licked, at least that's what I thought at the time. Look guys I know just what you've been going through, it's a living hell. People you once spoke to you ignore you, the general public shun you, teenage kids will at times, make fun of you and shout out all types of abuse at any given opportunity.
Just a short sample of things doctors over the years have done. Many different types of laxatives, antibiotics, banding for piles, endoscopy, colonoscopy, shape test, many blood tests, stool test. If you guys can think of anymore I'll guess I have had it also, currently undogoing testing for TMAU but I suspect it will prove negative.
Am sure just like me you guys have tried many of these herbal products and non herbal products, costing ourselves a small fortune.
If you are like me and don't smoke and don't drink many of these doctors can't throw that one at you and say give that up.
I workout regularly I tend to also walk everywhere I can, not because am addicted to exercise it is just to avoid public transport so a six mile walk to my destination and then home again is something I'll do just to avoid the embarrassment, afterall of this I may now take up running first thing on empty stomach, something I've not yet tried but hoping it will kickstart somekind of hormonal/body balance, as you see when things are desperate we'll try anything.
Doctors are pretty much useless with this condition I even had to explain about TMAU to several before I finally got on a testing programme. Dietician are not much better either, sure they all understand the basics but most of the information they provide is already out on the internet. For those of you that have a sporting background like me you'll be used to knowing about your food groups. You may even want to try and printout a number of similar stories from other posters but you'll probably get shutdown for doing so, but it's only prove you are not alone with this condition and therefore please don't suggest it's all in my head., doctors.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To conclude, I think many of us will experience a stoppage following our colonoscopy examination, why because we've been given hospital specific enema, they tend to clear us out much more effectively than enemas bought online or over the counter. So it maybe worth asking your doctor if they will give you such enema and then immediately follow it up with PAPAYA SEEDS and HONEY. Please if you are in any doubt Youtube this video with Dr Oz and this gastro doctor. Here's what happened to me I began trying this and by the third day I just felt this sudden drop in my abdomen and my stomach just stop being so bloated and the smell went away I was so overjoyed that I got complacent and began eating things I stopped eating years ago and am back in this living hell. I won't make same mistake again should the circumstances arise again. PAPAYA SEEDS, you can also try blending with other fruits into a smoothie. Here's what you should feel when drinking a slight warm feeling as it enters your throat, it is said to kill parasites, now just maybe if we then follow this up with friendly bacteria supplement tablets and not those yogurts as I think they lack the high enough cultures to be effective. Look a life hidden is really no life at all. So maybe if we all pull together we can perhaps end this thing once and for all, who knows these doctors might finally get on board and stop treating us all as though it's just an isolated case of ..........whatever gets them to see the next patient with more easily to diagnose medical school standard  patient issue. Best of luck to you all
