I have PATM and I have bad breath that can fill the whole room and I am passing gas without knowing it. In my bowels I hear like there something passing gas in my belly. When that happen I will pass gas without knowing it. Very embarrassing. I lost one office work due to that now I on my new job it's happening again. And everybody is sneezing. I don't know what to eat what to do. The farts in my belly come from my left side.

I burp alot. It's very strange. I have this problem for 3 years.

I have the same issue about the fart... and people sometimes they laughs or looked at me with disgusted face!
The big question is, where is the smell coming?
I don't think it is coming from the anus as i spend 1.5 years investigating with colon/rectal surgeon about this.   We did bunch of test and all seem fine.  I even did my own test by seating in a bathtub (full of water) hopping that i should see or hear the bubble and nothing.
I don't have any sensation and can't smell either... all i see people reaction or asking me if i farted.
I suspect that it is coming from my breath or skin but definitely not from the bottom.

Also people react if i take deep breath while i'm at office.

It comes from the anus, but it's leack very slow. From my breath also. When I burp is like it smell also. I have a very good hygiene. I when to the doctor and they can see anything. My halitosis is come from my tongue. I brush and scraped my tongur, but it doesn't help.
This is a story that I found on the internet the writer wrote it 6 years ago.

Fecal body odor doesn't mean the smell comes from your skin, but it mean you are passing gas unconscious. Also it comes from your mouth and breath. I have this issue it will fill the whole room and travel far in the over 25 meters. And I eat gluten in the morning and lunch. After eat everybody will sneeze, cough, laugh and cover their nose. Since I red this post I have hope now. But I feel extra embarrassed.  

Might you guy you can smell yourself. But people will react. I think this is the solution. I'll start today with gluten free diet.

"glasters 

to those suffering from "fecal body odor" - my story and cure c u r e z o n e . o r g 

All, 

I suffered from what this community calls "fecal body odor" from the age of 15-18/19. I actually think I found this message board all those years ago. I'm now 26 and 100% cured and never once have had a reoccurrence. I remember how my life was back then and how it is now and it is a complete turn around. When I finally figured out what my problem was and got to a place where I could sit in a room and have a normal conversation, be treated like a normal person, I literally cried of happiness. 

Story: 
Around 15 years old, I started to get comments about odor. I wasn't sure if it was caused by me at first, but then after I kept hearing the comments, I became aware that it was me. Strangely enough, I couldn't smell it myself. 

As you can imagine or have experienced, the mental torment is almost unbearable. As a kid in high school, I was frequently in close proximity of a group of kids. After about a year of suffering through this, I became well known as "the kid who smells like ****". I had a small group of friends, who never really commented on it, but the signs were there - opening windows in winter, keeping a distance, etc. 

Since I couldn't prove it myself, I pleaded with my parents to go to the doctor. It wasn't till I was older that we actually started going to the doctor, and even then I think they didn't believe me. So I was stuck with it. After reading through a couple of these posts, I see all the same patterns. OCD about cleanliness, charcoal, strange rituals, enemas, colognes/perfumes, etc. I even remember trying to use bleach to clean myself. Dumb idea. 

I nearly always had a little bit of gas. Since I was afraid of the smell getting worse, I would hold it in and go to the bathroom to release whenever I could. I would never have any stains or actual ****/liquid, so I was perplexed as to what was happening to me. When I started going to the doctor, I got all sorts of random diagnoses - even one doctor said it might just be me growing up. What the f*** does that even mean????? 

I remember one especially humiliating day in my life, my Science teacher called a random seat reassignment. Everyone got up, and she called kids to their seats one by one. I started getting worried it was about me. When I was one of the last 5 or so kids, I got so ashamed my face turned beet red. To make it even more humiliating for me, she left one seat open in front of me, one seat open behind me and then put the class trouble maker in the very last seat. A kid in the class asked why they changed seats, The teacher didn't answer. One of the kids said "It's because x smells like ****". It was agonizing. Since it had been a while suffering through this, and being publicly humiliated was a common occurrence at that point, I felt like I needed to escape. I went home and was ready to kill myself. I went to the bathroom, filled up the tub, and got in with the knife. I sat there for hours. I couldn't do it. 

The most tormenting part of this period of my life was the psychological torture. Since I couldn't smell it myself, I began to try to confirm or disprove with friends and only the closest of friends. All I wanted was to know. When I was working with a good friend of mine, at the end of the shift, he openly said "Dude, you smell like ***." He told me about it and how everyone knew. He said it wasn't all the time, and sometimes it was much worse and sometimes it was just a little bit. I finally had someone be upfront with me about it after over a year of dealing with the issue. 

My symptoms: 
Odor - described as "****", "farts", or "it stinks in here" 
Inability to detect own odor 
Gas/Bloating 
Foul smelling stool 
A weird bubbling in my lower right gut after eating 
Constipation 

My (self found) cure: 
At the end of it all, no doctor was able to help. I tried all sorts of diets, but it was one in particular that cured me. For 6 weeks straight, I ate nothing but boiled chicken breast, white rice with no seasoning, egg whites, and green pea pods (low in fructose). My symptoms slowly decayed until they were completely gone. I started reincorporating things into my diet, and noticed them come back. Through the process of elimination, I had nailed it down to gluten. two years of suffering - all because of gluten. After completely eliminating gluten from my diet, I was cured. This is much more difficult than it appears, and it can't be half-assed. If you want to be free of this - it has to be 100% adherence without any slip ups. I'm sure if you went through what I had to go through, you won't have trouble finding the motivation to do this. 




My life is on the right track. I moved as soon as I could, and began a new life. I graduated near the top of my class, and I'm now working in NYC at a top consulting firm. This wouldn't have been possible with the debilitating and strange disorder I had when I was younger. I don't think I would be alive today had I been suffering this long. 

Please, if you have not tried it, and the above story/symptoms sound familiar to you, you need to try a 100% strict gluten-free diet. I would also suggest following the "zero-chance" diet I followed above to maximize your body's ability to heal. 

I felt the need to share my story and my cure. I don't expect it to be the cure all for all of you, but I know for a fact it will be the way for some of you. Good luck."

Wash your mouth and make you see with the doctor about halitosis, without realizing I had it and that caused bad breath, I took it out with a clip and the smell decreased drastically, it was not much, there are people in my course who have bad breath and naide says nothing. Bad breath I do not have because I have friends who kiss and do not complain, I asked them subtly. On the other hand the noise if I have, something like being hungry too, if you eat periodically every 2 hours a serving of food that will happen to you, or if you do not buy betaine and .... of HCL that you have to take as 3 pills before eating, it will depend on your body since it has instructions there, but remember, eat, do not skip any food since that noise will be worse if you avoid eating. The gases never happened to me, sometimes my stomach stirs, but that happened to me before when I stressed and the PATM increased ...... Today I try to control and I notice that under my PATM.

Lavá tu boca y hacerte ver con el medico sobre la halitosis, yo sin darme cuenta lo había tenido y eso causaba mal aliento, yo mismo la saque con una pinza y el olor disminuyo drásticamente, tampoco era mucho, hay personas en mi curso que tienen mal aliento y naide dice nada. Mal aliento no tengo por que tengo amigas que bese y no se quejan, les pregunte sutilmente.  Por otro lado lo de los ruidos si tengo, algo así como tener hambre demasiado, si comes periódicamente cada 2 horas una porción de comida eso se te pasara, o si no comprate betaina y …. de HCL que tienes que tomar como 3 pastillas antes de comer, dependerá de tu cuerpo ya que ahí mismo tiene instrucciones, pero recuerda, come, no te saltes ninguna comida ya que ese ruido sera peor si evitas comer. Lo de los gases nunca me paso, aveces se me estriñe el estomago, pero eso me sucedía antes cuando me estresaba y el PATM aumentaba...... Hoy en día trato de controlar y noto que bajo mucho mi PATM.
