smell like poop all of the time

for almost yrs now, i"ve had problems with my bile.  never, ever feels hungry, and only have a bm one a week and that's after taking a laxative, yet i never feel constipated.  long story short.  i smell like poop all of the time.  i bathe twice a day sometimes in bleach water.  the last three weeks my stomach is bubbly and i feel like it's diarreah but when i go to the bathroom nothing comes out.  and i vomitt very bitter greenish/yellowish stuff.  i am always surrounded by flies or nets or some other insect.  i have lost a husband, two jobs and was told that i need to get this taken care of before i come back to church.  i have had my colon checked. after i had a bm (hard or diarreah) take a shower for sometime an hour.  when i sit down i feel like i"ve sit on something wet.  please help me.  i want to go home for christmas.  But i don't want to repeat last years episode.  my granddaughter vomitted because i smelled bad

also want to add,

I've noticed my brother has a weird heavy 'sweet' smell that lingers around him. And he also must be constipated alot, because he told me he can only make a BM while he is smoking a cigarette. My mom has a sign posted in the bathroom,'do not throw your cigarettes in the toilet'. Well, i asked him,"what if you don't have a cig?"
"I can't go"
I know he's been constipated consistantly. I also noticed how my mom treats him. He'll jump in the car and fume up the place. She'll ask,"have you been taking showers?"
He'll say "yeah,...why?"
I was wondering, if he asked me if he smelled funny, because of my experiences, I would tell him constructively, yeah you smell alittle weird. But in his case, all's he has to do is get his bowel movements in order, play more basketball(he lays around alot), stop smokin so much pot, and he'll be fine.
I developed mine over decades of not letting myself make a BM when I should, wore out my nerves in my rectum and sphincter :(
hope that shines sum light in anything :)

thanks for the reply,

sorry to hear of your depression returning :(
i'm on the psyllium fiber too, been 3 weeks, although symptoms are still there.
I still leak after a run, or when I relax, so Im going in to see a specialist and maybe get a Sacra Implantation to tighten my sphincter. Could help I suppose, since my problem is worse after a bowel movement and when i get that 'slippery feeling' down on my anus when I relax.
Hope you get some good news, worried bout ya

ya. sure.. i will be posting here al the treatment i undergo so that it might be helpful.. the surgeon has given me 1 sort of cream to apply in and around my anus,a powder which i should drink at night to avoid constipation and has told to sit in a  tub containing water,salt,dettol for about half an hour daily... he also told to exercise daily like stand and sit exercises for half an hour to loosen the muscles of my stomach.. all this prescription is for 20 days.. basically doctors here in India don't exactly are able to understand what's goin wrong in me .. so my hope is on.. i wish that i get cured in the early days of 2013.. hope is still alive.. will pray for you all guys.. and here's a proverb which has been lately giving me some sort of inspiration (not completely) -
"heated gold becomes an ornament,
beaten copper is made into wires,
depleted stone becomes a statue,
so the more pain you go through your life the more valuable you become"
bye guys

My tears are dry now I can explain my story. Just like you guys I was somebody on a path of excellent living. My field of joy required for me to be seated 9-10 hours daily. I had purchased a cheap car,this  is where I thought that rancid smell came from first,or it coulda been the moldy apt. I rented for 6 mos. Either way my life changed dramatically. A co worker shouted "It reeks of *** in here!" My asset was moist so went to check. OMG! I just had showered,lived a block from my job.HOW!? WHEN!? Most importantly WHY!? I want to start a group for humans like myself! The ones with working noses,the believers of our unique problem. Ya know what hurts the most,, you know,, when no one believes us.Paranoid you say! Lets get proof of nose scratchers ,coughers,fake eye diggers! You are apart of My club until you're fixed and smell free like the others. Lets date,chat,go out with each other. I too have suicide riding in my mind some where along the stank,but wish to shed a Bright smellfree light on this they call "Paranoya"
