Omg...its a horrible thing to go through. I feel so bad, My breath smell like poop. Not all the time but most of the time and I usually could feel it. My stomash start to bloat and I feel all gassy but cant pass gas. I drive a school bus so u could imagine how it is with the kids. I blush 3x a day blush my thoung every time also. Also flush and use mouth wash..I thing more than 5 or 6 times a day. I know the smell is caming from my stomash. The worst thing of all is that my husband and I are trying to get pregnat and I hate been intimate because of it. I feel so embarrest of been closed to people and talking to them and the covering of their nose and the discost look in their faces. I dont blame them but it still hurts and I use to be so socialble :-(. Any advices will be really appreciated. Oh and I am spanish and I eat spanish food all the time, not spicy hot. {Cuban}We are not into spicy food. I eat veggies too not as much as I should though. Cant thing of anything else. Oh and sorry for the misspell of any words and thank you for listening. It feels a bit better telling some 1 else than God my problem.

Try fasting on lemon water at least 4 days and then continue the fast with fruit juices for at least 6 days.  Use bentonite clay liguid drops with psilium from the drug store or you can order it from amazon or online store.  Hope this helps.  God loves you.  Call unto HIm and trust Him with all your heart and you will hear your cry and respond to your needs.  If there is any sin in your life, please ask him to forgive you.  It will open the doors of heaven for yiou.  God bless you.

Thanks to everyone who posted here. It sounds like a cliche, but reading everyone's stories in this forum really helps me realize I'm not the only one with the problem and who feels so frustrated, embarrassed and alone because of it. With me, I'd have to say I was "normal" in that I had absolutely no odor issues until I after I had a baby when I was 26. Now, this was a feminine odor problem, not anal. I tried everything and couldn't get rid of it, but it kept getting worse. Then next, it was my breath at about age 30. Both of these were really bad and I couldn't do anything because I tried all kinds of things and went to doctors.

At around 38, 40, underarm odors started. Jump to age 45 and then the anal smell started. And I recently turned 50 and now I have a pee smell. I try to get to the bathroom regularly and watch my diet, but all of this together is like too much sometimes. If I control one or two issues, the others are still there. I can't go anywhere without comments.

At 45 I managed to start a career in which I can work at home, but my money isn't great. I appreciate it though and prefer it to working with others. Still going on a bus or in a store, there are always the comments as many of you mention. As the Spanish woman said, I can understand the remarks, but of course they hurt. Plus, people are doing it to be mean or to tell you because they think you don't know. People think there are solutions to everything and that you must not be doing any thing about your awful problem(s) when, HA, anything could be less true!!!! All that makes things so hard too.

Anyway, I try to find the humor -- like there can't be anything else on me to smell lol, and to look on the bright side that I do have work I like, and a reasonably good life. I am proud of myself when I manage to stay away from feeling depressed. Don't give up anyone here! My heart goes out to you all!

I will say Mitzie, you sure talk funny. :-) OK, check this out. I've posted this same response for other threads about gas, flatulence, farting, whatever...

I don't know if any of you have solved your flatulence problems yet. I suffered with embarrassing, almost 'constant' flatulence for a couple years, probably more, before I recently found something that has helped tremendously, at least it seems to have brought it well under control. Yes, I have gas but it's nothing like it was. OK, so I thought for quite some time that the problem was related to unbalanced digestive flora. My wife is a Nutritionist and mentioned it several times and tried to get me to take probiotics but it was difficult to take the oral supplements regularly.  Now, I have discovered KEFIR. If you don't know, it's like liquid yogurt has tons of probiotics and shockingly has seemed to get my problem under control. I drink close to 8 oz in the morning and again in the evening. I can tell you that within just a few days it helped and it's been a month now, at least. I get the plain unsweetened and sometimes add a few drops of flavored Stevia to just take the edge off, like Vanilla Creme by Sweet Leaf. Don't get the sweetned Kefir, as sugar is never good for you digestion. I've been getting Lifeway Kefir . I think the company also makes the Helios brand. (This is not an ad for that brand, just sharing my experience.)

I don't doubt eating certain foods makes flatulence worse. I generally eat better than most Americans but could do better. Sugar mostly, but anything that upsets the balance of bacteria in our systems should be avoided. Alas, for now, I can't tell you how glad I am to have found something that has helped me. My life was in ruin as many other have attested to with this flatulence issue.

Take care.
