I smell like **** all the time.. :(

Okai, it's kinda emberrassing but I hope is all for good. I've noticed i smell like poop all the time. I don't know how to control it. I'm a 20 yr old male tht always like to smell good but unfortunatly it all changed as soon as I turned 18.

I've suffered this thing for two yrs and still don't have an answer. I've tried bby powder to cover the smell. Including baking soda. Which didn't work either. I went on probiotics & felt it get worse. I love to be around ppl but since this hit me I felt like the way I smelled.

It's gotten to the point were I tried suicciding. I avoid getting out as much out of my house.
Heck, I feel I'm loosing my life. I even tried not eating anything for couple of days just water & still  nothing.
I shower up too 3x a day. & wen I come out I still have the smell. I'm just doomed.

I try to avoid almost everyone. Even  my own family.
& it gets worse wen I get nervouse.
I sweat more heavily & the smell gets worst or stronger.

Maybe a tear. I just cheked out & symtoms are a little diffrent. Yet I do get like hot chills were like my whole body gets warm & vanishes. Maybe like 3 seconds or such. Wat I think is mainly my acid is to high. Ive noticed when I eat like a jalapeno, I get real gassy & I feel my chest kinda burning. Maybe ulcers?

If im not mistaken its like from my anus. & yes its like fresh poop.
I notice it more when I gett bloated.i dont know if its due on me having gastritist or so. I sumtimes feel like my stomach is actually moving inside. Jts mostly on my upper level gut. Yet I also noticed tht when I go to the restroom and deposit, my stool sumtimes are half black. I made sum reserch on tht & it said tht my upper intestine maybe be bleeding. But im not 100% possitive due too no always having it black.

Can you tell me from where exactly the smell comes from? cuz there are different kinds of diseases when it comes to the odor thing, there are body odor where the body smells like a dead or rotten fish this case called ''Trimethylaminuria'' you can read about it in dif sites and also in Wikipedia, there is Obsessive–compulsive disorder(OCD) you feel you smell but in fact you don't you can read about it in many other sites and Widespread too, finally there is a gas or wind leakage from the anus; the smell leaks out from the anus unconsciously and you mostly don't smell anything, but everybody else smells it,, I heard from some ppl the smell is more like sewer, sulfur or rotten egg or fresh poop, unfortunately I have this problem and  unfortunately this is the only site that there are posts about it and doctors do not know anything about this disease!
