I smell like poop all the time

For the past year, I have suffered from a mysterious condition that is really messing up my life.
people near me cover their noses and cough sometimes when I'm near, and it just hurts me so much because I don't know what to do other than bathe.. I was two times a day and always put on deodarant.
So why is it that I smell like so bad?
The time it started was when I was in a situation where I was trying to keep myself from going to the bathroom..
I had to delay at the moment, so I held myself in for, well, two to three days.
But ont the third day, trung to hold it in, I passed a small amount of gas- and from there, my whole life changed.
People looked around and stared at me, bribing their hands up to their noses as I was near.
This is SO embarrassing to talk about,.. But I really need help.
I can't even visit the doctor because I am devestatingly embarrssed.

My diet consists of medium amount of fruits and vegetables, and I usually eat a lot of grain.
I always eat a yogurt a day..
The smell gets worse when I get nervous- I think the problem has to do with my muscles or tissues and not my digestive system..
I really need to be able to go out in public without not being able to raise my head.

I used to have your problem. After years of humiliation and trying every natural remedy known to man,and going to doctors who insisted it was probably just stress, l quit my job that l had for almost 10 years. Lo and behold, l was completely wrong. I thought the doctors said that because they couldn't or wouldn't bother trying to find the real cause, but within 1 year of leaving my job, l got better. Stress can do way more damage to your body than you think and you may be like me and not even realize you are stressed and the issues you decelop from the stress will stress you out more and there is no way out, except to leave all situations, places, and people behind who cause it. Learn to say no, love yourself, and stop caring about the wrong things.

I Have the Cure!


Hi My name is Lydia Concha, I'm here to help. I went through the same problem. I have food sensitivities and cannot digest wheat or dairy and I had IBS for 4 years but its all gone thanks to Ann Boroch's book called Yeast, Fungus,and your health: 90 day Candadia Cure. Its only $12 at Barnes & Noble. Its cheaper on Amazon.
You have to go on a gluten free diet. Eat hormone and antibiotic free meat, fruit all types of berries and grapefruit and fresh vegetables particularly green vegetables because they help with digestion.  

The diet alone helps but will not cure you of any symptoms unless you buy the vitamins in the book and do the 90 days with the diet and vitamins combined.


My odor problem, IBS, Anxiety, Depression, etc., all were cured on the Candadia diet.

All chronic illness are caused from wheat, Schizophrenia, Arthritis, Alzheimers, Dementia, etc.

There is a documentary on Netflix its called What's with Wheat its very interesting and talks about how wheat has affected anyone with a chronic illness and is the underlying cause for anyone who is sick and is taking medication.


If you have any of the latter problem you have either food sensitivities, or Celiac Disease which is a digestive disorder and the fastest cure is to avoid wheat and other grains, except gluten free grains.

Dairy and Soy, Dextrose, and Glusose, High Fructose Corn Syrup cause digestion issues and are not very healthy for you.

Soy has weed killer in it and causes death to your brain cells.


I hope this information is helpful to you all and I really hope you consider the Candadia diet and are able to cure yourself of all your illnesses.


If you have anymore questions you can email me at ***@****.


Thank you,

Lydia Concha

HEY guys u lot have made my day seriously!! Just knowing one more human being has gone through this has made me feel a thousand times better! Ive been lied to untold amount of times its really disheartening. I got locked in a mental institute for 3 months they thought I had phsycosis! Silly *****! Anyway I still dont know if Im cured as no1 told me the truth in the first place... My farts and ***** smell way way way too disgusting so maybe I still smell who knows. One thing I kno is it ain't anything 2 do with drink or smoke as I quit both and nothing changed. I was certain it was alcohol abuse but it wasn't... Anyway sorry I cant provide any advice except donnt get anxious over it as it worsens majorly when u get more and more anxious. I pray we all get cured of this nasty *** condition. And to all the people who labelled us as scummy tramps and assumed us as gay... **** the lot of them they're disconnected spiritually and lost as well.... At least this has made us all alot more humble and aware of our surroundings! I pray we're all cured of this! Thankyou all for sharing :) LOVE and PEACE 2 u all people

You should go see a dentist asap. You might have advanced periodontal disease which is an infection of your gums. Often the bacteria that causes this produces an awful odor. Also, tonsil stones have an awful odor as well and is often associated with periodontal disease and oral conditions.

Yo are living my life. In heart break and humiliation. To be such a beautiful person and people accuse you of messing yourself all day long. To alianate yourself from friends and family who may love you but still makes fun of you. To give up on love. To fight every day to not cry in ridicule and humiliation. One thing we have in common is I had my gall bladder removed. I also had a gastric bypass. I think these surgeries destroyed my digestive system. I take aloe Vera, body mint, pro biotics, candidas capsoles and chlorophyll but all they have done is stabilized my stomach. I rarely suffer from IBS now. Im also trying to flush my system and drink plenty of water. Im also taking a Parasite Cleanse. IVe had a problem with pin worm in the past. It makes your poop smell aweful. Im going to try using the medicine every week until its gone. I bought Reese Pin Worm medication but it wasnt enough. Amazon sells a family size bottle of it. Im praying it works. I desperately want my life back and I want to love again.

So sad. I totally understand how you feel. It's devastating and you feel hopeless, especially when you read all of these suggestions. It can become extremely overwhelming. Is it candida overgrowth, is it certain foods, is it caffeine, is it hormonal, is it thyroid, is it low levels of estrogen or testosterone, is it TMAU, is it leaky gut syndrome or something else like Chrohns or IBS. Googling yourself can be exhausting and eventually you just lose hope. I'm there with you all. There has to be a cure. Pray for something. God if you're listening, help us. Jesus was our savior and died on the cross for us. We can never understand his suffering and though we say our experience with this horrific medical issue is the ultimate worst, we know that our lord and savior truly knows the meaning of sufferage. Please help us and guide us. Give us hope in knowing there is a way to fix this.
