I also suffer from the same problem, I use a Laxative weekly and drink peptobismol, I found out this helps me with the odor.
Im having same problem with fecal body odor, nothing helps. I tried everything. I need some answers.
I have the same problem it started 8 years ago. I smell like pop all the time and it gets worst when im stressed or if i work out. Somethimes lemons or accid foods help. It has affected my social life in a big way :( you guys are not alone, i hope we can find a cure!
This sounds like it was likely caused by long term use of antibiotics, which may have killed off the normal, healthy bacteria in your GI tract to the point that when you stopped taking antibiotics, new unhealthy bacteria took over your digestive system.
Perineal abscesses are not a normal symptom of GI disorders—unless caused by left over fecal matter (AKA: not wiping enough after using the toilet, or from wiping back-to-front). They can also be caused by wiping too hard, or using too many harsh cleansers/soaps. But generally speaking, that's not normal.
I would also strongly recommend stopping the enemas immediately. The enema process may be contributing to the perineal abscesses, and enemas themselves are almost always a bad idea as a frequently used treatment. Especially if you have a bacterial problem (which seems very likely), because enemas flush out all of the bacteria which help you properly digest food and process waste, which means enemas could actually be making the problem worse.
You should seek out a second opinion from another gastroenterologist and mention that the problem first started after using antibiotics over a long period of time. If that doesn't help, Google doctors in your area that specialize in bacterial disorders, or simply general physicians. Keep trying.
I have the same issue and it has ruined my life, Im 18 years old and I have had this for 9 months. This started right after I stopped use of anti-biotics for my acne. I had a lot of digestive issues so I went and saw a gastrontologist and they cleared me of any bacteria or parasite. My parents then forced me to see a therapist because they could not smell anything so they assumed I was crazy(nor could my doctor). So now I feel like i'm fighting this on my own and I'm all alone. I've lost all my friends and I feel completely isolated from society. I've tried highly potent probiotics, candida cleanses, chlorophyll, and used magnesium capsules to detox but none of those things changed anything. I still smell like the inside of an anus and get teased on the daily for it. I read over all these replies and i'm now going to try colloidal silver and hope and pray that it lifts this awful curse I would not wish against my worst enemy.
I wish someone had an answer to this problem. I too, have this issue. I have had it and in for most of my life. I am now 56. I take supplements for various reasons and notice the smell is very active during the colder months. In spring and summer, it is non existent or if it is there, I can't tell. I think stress makes it worse. I started a new job in June and the smell started in October, when it started getting cooler out and my work load increased. Help!! I know people smell me. I shower 2x daily, take high dose probiotics and chlorophyll. They make fun of me at work. I don't know what this is and don't know how to stop it.
Has anyone came up with any answers? After year after year of logging on and trying new things, candida diets, probiotics, endoscopy, going vegetarian, etc... The smell is still there. Dr's think I have a personality disorder because they can't answer the question as to why this is happening. Any answers will help, I'm tired of putting off my life in fear of people smelling me
Hello, I have this issue as well, and don't know what to do.
Oh and I should mention, you will see results in a few days/weeks and huge difference in months after starting colloidal silver. But argentyn 23 or sovereign silver. 1 tsp 3xday but still continue to eat very clean
My problem started after antibiotic use.
I have that problem too. Ever heard of Fecal Microbiota Transplant(FMT), it seems to work for some people. Visit this blog, I don't think the blogger is active but the information is useful. www.mytummytantrum.com
I have this problem also. My suspicion that this is a gastrointestinal problem caused by dental implants. The hypothesis is that dental implants (particularly the new composite, resin types) excite the production of saliva and stomach acid in some people and may also cause a mild intolerance and allergic effects. Over time this causes overgrowth of bacteria in the gut and slowly breaks down the gut wall making it more porous than it should be - the stomach is basically slowly digesting itself. I am in the process of trying to persuade a dentist to remove some composite that was inserted and is non-essential. It could take weeks to find a dentist willing to do this. It has been my experience that dentists are more than willing to implant things willy nilly into your mouth but reluctant to remove them. We do not know what the long term of theses new visually appealing dental implants are in our systems. They are essentially porous structures filled with chemicals that leech out and cause any number of reactions in people. In addition the dental industry doesn't seem to fathom that these materials could possibly be causing reactions in people. People routinely have allergic react to seemingly innocuous substances, nuts, fish etc. If you throw enough seemingly innocuous things at someone they will have a reaction at some point - never mind chemicals that are cured right there in your mouth. It is entirely plausible that the dental industry will have a massive scandal about implanting new materials in the next five years.
p.s. I don't drink or take drugs and I am otherwise healthy.
It would be interesting to know how many people with this problem in this forum have dental implants.

I came across this thread and wanted to add a thought here fore everyone. I don't have the body odor problem, but noticed that my ex-husband developed this problem - he is a drinker and in his case the smell it is alcohol.liver related. U asked a doctor and also researched this and would recommend that you explore issues with the liver. The liver does a lot of processing for us humans and can become dysfunctional. O'm not suggesting anyone here is an alcoholic by the way, but thought this may give clues to the role of the liver in a fecal body odor Here's what I also read:
"There is a peculiar odor of the breath in individuals with severe liver disease caused by volatile aromatic substances that accumulate in the blood and urine.
The issue of odor in people with liver disease is a common one. It happens for the same reason that so many other complications do, the failure of the liver to process toxins. These toxins will build up in urine, perspiration, and even on the breath. It's called fetor hepaticus.
With hepatic encephalopathy, the breath may take on a "musty/sweet" smell. Dehydration can also be a factor here.
In late stage liver failure, the breath may take on a pungent, strong and noticeable odor that smells like “rotten egg”. Sulfides build up (dimethyl sulfide) and are released in urine, breath, feces, and sweat."
Having a bad body odor that can't get rid of is so damn embarassing and stressful. Ive researched on this topic for awhile and just don't know what is really causing this ****.
i have had this crazy and bad smell for more than 8 years now. can't smell it. I have done almost every test no avail. I am physically strong and healthy. just stated seeing some charges and even able now to get the smell. please, get Goldenseal, zinc with a percentage of copper and pau d'arco from a vitamin shop. 2 goldenseal and 2pau d'arco 3...
try a multi enzyme and cut out dairy or buy a lactase enzyme for when you want to eat it. cut back on the booze also. these things helped me a lot. i noticed ppl would complain of my rancid, vomit, garbage, **** stench after drinking chocolate milk. i cut back on dairy, bought multi-enzymes, ppl dont complain of **** smell any more. I had a lot of **** garbage smell comments in high school. I think I still smell a bit sometimes if i tax my digestive system too hard without enzymes. just not nearly as bad. don't scrub too hard, it wont help. wash normally. i believe it's caused when to many undigested macro nutrients make it into your lower GI tract then you sweat out fermented lipid soluble particles through your apocrine glands. I hope this helps
I'm with theoneofeight, can you give more detail on what you did to fix it??
You might be on to something. I had similar experience as well and it looks like several others here did as well.
Can you elaborate on what you did to fix the issue?
And also it seems it comes from my entire body
This problem started with me being, (13) an 8th grader
,I mistakenly ate food which was raw or uncooked then that same night I
became really sick my stomach,aching,paining hurting I couldn't get out of
my bed that night and the next day(it was friday evening when I got out of
bed then I began to eat since I was so hungry).
I decided to go to school the next week,that's when I began hearing comments, it smells like****in here,did you *** your pants?
Since then I have sometimes only noticed(very rarely)the smell of garbage,sewer,rotten meat and fish.
Sometimes I smell rotten fish on my clothes.
And also occasionally smell feces from my neck after gym class.
Mostly people and other students are the ones who say it smells like **** and it seems am always smelling like this everyday.
I also have signs of sweating on the bottom area when it is very hot or when am anxious or stressed out. and halitosis
I had this too and never thought it was me. At first i thought there there was a sewer problem. Then realized that there is no way a sewer is always stinking around. The problem was ME! After detoxing by juicing and the problem still persisted. I asked my friend who is facilitator at Access Consciousness to help me. He asked me a few questions and said several powerful clearing statements and i have not had an odor in 3 weeks! I am so grateful. I needed to let you all know this because last month, i was desperate and reading all of these comments. I just wanted to share my story…hopefully it will help you.
you're absolutely right. the problem im having sounds the exact same. and yes, it began to happen after having a sexual relationship with a certain individual who i noticed sometimes had a bad body/breath odor.
