Why do I consistently smell like farts, even when I'm not voluntarily passing gas?

I'm 18 years old, and I have been struggling for about 3-4 years now with the problem of smelling like farts always. I don't know what the problem is, but it is ruining my life. Everywhere I go or any person I'm near say it smells like someone farted. I'm becoming very anti social and don't want to be near anyone because of the horrible smell I'm causing. I need help and suggestions by people whom have experienced similar problems.

No matter how clean you are coming out of a shower, you can still smell bad if the odor is coming out the breath or nose.

Many many people are really quick to assume they have TMAU and patm when they describe their symptoms - it seems to suggest they unknowingly have bad breath or wear too much perfume.

See a dentist and ENT for their brutally honest opinion on your breath. Or if it's not your breath they can offer more feedback in where the smell seems to be coming from.
