Hello all,
(A little backstory)
This is my first post, I'm a new user. I have been living with fecal Body Odor for as long as I can remember. Even as a child I remember the other kids not wanting to play with me because I "smell like boo-boo". High school was terrible of course... won't even go down that road. But I'm 25 now and I'm in the military. We have to stay in close quarters for hours everyday and I know it's driving (the other service members) crazy. I feel bad bacause I know it has to reek for them (and like everyone else on here I can't smell it myself). Anytime someone enters the room I'm in they say things like "smells like someone needs to wash their a$$" or "D@MN who sh!t their pants". Needless to say, my hygene is impeccable! Like everyone else on here when someone starts telling you that you stink you tend to take a few more showers than everyone else... to no avail.
Getting to the question in the subject title, I wanted to know what foods tend to make the smell worse and what foods make it better. I don't blame these guys for wiggin' out about the way I smell. I can't imagine what it must be like to smell it all day. If anyone knows any foods that subdue the smell a bit please share!
Thanks!

This is a reply to # 1,366,206I'm trying to get my hands on a good Colon Cleanse right now, and some digestive enzymes. I stay away from junk foods. I don't drink ANY pop or coffee or juices, only water. I stay away from beef (because of the way it smells when it starts to break down in your stomach) and I try to avoid pork. I take a laxative everyday to try to make sure food doesn't stay in my system that long (maybe thats the wrong answer), but this is getting ridiculous. I can't stop thinking of how much money I've spent... money that would still be in my pocket if I smelled ok.
And I'm too embarrased to confide in anyone here to ask them "do I smell worse when I eat this?" because then I would have to tell them the whole story of my entire life. I don't know what's worse, them thinking that I'm dirty and that I don't know I stink, or them knowing that I know I stink but I can't do anything about it.- Re: What are foods that reduce fecal...

Try psyllium fibers in water in stead of laxatives.

Ask your mom or so?
Do you have other symptoms? Bloating, farting, fatigue, mushy stools/sticky stools/... (or how do they look?), ...
Maybe you've got some kind of parasite or candida or something else wrong with your digestion.
I think you don't have to concentrate ONLY on the foods. You have also help digestion. Or maybe your adductor muscler (right translation?) isn't working properly?
Try also HCl, which is stomach acid. Having low stomach acid can cause a lot of symptoms in digestion. See

This is a reply to # 1,366,730Sticky stool? You know what my stool msot of the time stick to the toilet and I have to flush so many times or rub it off with toilet paper. Seriously. My poop is too brown and too stinky and I am gassy and my poop sticks to the walls of my toilet bowl. Do you think it's a sign of something. I told my doctor about my smell problem last week and he said he doesn't smell anything and that I need to see a therapist. He also ordered some bloodwork. I got the results of the it and everything is normal except for my glucose. My doctor asked me to fast for 12 hours which I did and my glucose level is 96 which is very very close to the upper tier of the normal range of 60 - 99.
Also, my butt area especially around the hole will get wet. I don't know if it is sweat or I am secreting something out of my anus. My scalp is also horribly horribly smelly. I would rub my fingers on my scalp in the middle of the day and it would this smell. My scalp is most especially smelly on the weekend; when I wake up. I tried using sulfur soap on my scalp and I'm not sure if it is working.- Re: What are foods that reduce fecal... MCS18

This is a reply to # 1,368,517Don't use sulfur ANYTHING. That can make the smell worse. Even avoid sulfur containing foods, especially eggs!

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. It's got to be hard, and isolating.
Have you ever been to a doctor about this? If so, I was curious about what was said about it. I've heard of a similar issue on one of the medical shows on Discovery Health and it turned out to be a particular genetic, metabolic disorder.- Re: What are foods that reduce fecal... Zapp

This is a reply to # 1,366,787There may be an MD or medical practioner who has experience in treating your problem. The right medical practioner might be able to spare you from years of self-experimentation.
The following is information that I have gleened from many misspent years on the web.
Many people seen to believe that fecal Body Odor is caused by "leaky gut". Do a websearch on "leaky gut". The theory is that the intestines have become porous and the volatile products of digestion (poo odor)leak into the blood stream. The skin does its' job by eliminating the toxic digestive products by pushing them through to its' surface and out of the blood stream.
The reported treatment for this problem seems to be threefold:
1. Treating "leaky gut". Of course, due to genetic variability, your gut may natually be more more leaky than average.
2. Ingesting substances that will absorb the volatile digestive products and help keep them from leaking through the intestines.
3. Improving the digestion, so that less partially digested food enters your intestines.
In any event, a websearch on "fecal Body Odor " or other variations on the subject should provide you with plenty to read.
Good luck.

This is a reply to # 1,366,804Yep, it is due to leaky gut.
One supplement that will "feed" your gut is L-glutamine. It won't cure your FBO, but will aid your intestines. Take the PURE powder (at healthfood stores) and it'll be a fine powder and mix 2 grams (using scooper in jar) in water on an empty stomach every day. Slowly move up to a higher amount if your system is okay with that.
For some reason, I can only handle the 2 grams per day. . .
A jar is around $20 and will last probably six months if you do the lower amount.

Since I haven't found anything to cure or lessen my smell (like i would know if I did or didn't) I just wanted to give a few words of encouragement. I was in the military also but i really let the smell get the best of me. I even quit going to PT because of it and ultimately was discharged because I couldnt handle the embarrassment. Stay strong and dont let the smell take control of your future. I know how people in the military can and will talk about you but as long as you stay goal-oriented you should be fine.
P.S.- save yourself the embarrassment of asking a military physician about your problem, it'll only leak to your superiors. - Re: What are foods that reduce fecal... StanksAlot

This is a reply to # 1,366,206Thanks for all your comments
Juul, the website you posted was very informative. I will look closer into that information. And PDD912, I just assume that you're not dealing with this sort of issue so I'm glad a "regular person" can understand what this type of condition can do to you (isolation, not being able to start or maintain a personal relationship, bouts of depression). And Zapp, I really wish I knew how to approach a doctor on this but from what I've been reading doctors tend to treat you like you like you just told them you're growing a baby's foot out of your abdomin, and I really don't want the run around from doctors. I'm actually scared that all this "self experimentation" may be harmful in the longrun but if the alternative is living like this then I'll take my chances experimenting.
MCS18, I'm going to order a bottle of that L-Glutamin and see how it works for me.
And P.U., I can totally understand why you stopped going to PT. There is no way I would go to the gym and do PT (which is where mostly everyone goes). I go to the field and do my own PT. If you don't mind me asking, is your smell a fecal odor also?- Re: What are foods that reduce fecal... pdd912

After years and years struggling with I thought leaky gut, I found out that all I needed was more acids to digest proteins and fats so they did not go undigested to my gut and along with other fecal matters into my bloodstream.
Vitamin B6 hydrochloride acid plus a compound of probiotics and enzymes.
Now I am combining Betaine hydrochloride acid and B6. B2 combined with B6 is good. So far B6 is enough, but B6 helps with the process of digesting proteins and fats too.
I adjust the amount of acid (that is what I have read and I am doing) according to the amount of proteins in my food.
Read labels. If the product has soy protein the problem is worse.
Eating at fast food chains makes the problem worse because they put a lot of soy in the food.
Make gargles with hydrogen peroxide or Peroxil. It will kill all tha accumulated bacteria in your mouth and throat and will leave your breath clean and fresh.
This is what is working perfectly for me after years and years of investigation.
Email me if it works for you maldsonia@aol.com
I avoid food products with soy protein in them. They made my sme;; worse. - Re: What are foods that reduce fecal... StanksAlot

This is a reply to # 1,366,206Good info Sonee, thanks,
I have some products coming in the mail, and I know nothing works over night but hopefully after about 6 months (when the stuff actually has time to reach pertinent body tissues) I will notice a difference in peoples reactions to me and I will definately let everyone on here know if it works so they can try it too. I don't mind being the guinea pig here, this mess has to be resolved.- Re: What are foods that reduce fecal... Quackified

This is a reply to # 1,368,565I've also got the same fecal smelling odor. Sometimes it smells of constipation, sometimes of a weird soft smelling poop, and my farts are very fecal smelling. Some days I can smell it strongly enough that it makes me want to gag, and I feel sorry for my students.
I've already been given the run around by four different doctors, and so I'll reserve them only for tests that I want to have done ( three gastroenteroloists and one specialist of the colon.
The other symptom that is the same as yours is I've at times got a bit of wet something leaking out of my ass. It's clear, it's got more body to it than sweat, and it can smell horrible at times.
I've read that some IBS sufferers have a fecal smell, and some of them take chlorophyllin to reduce that smell ( not an option for me, it would negate a medication I need). One of the docs suggested that I was IBS, and I've got all the symptoms but abdominal pain.
Supposedly stress plays a big factor in IBS, so meditation or cognitive behavioral therapy might work in reducing IBS symptoms.
Anyways, I hope you best of luck, and I'll be both following this thread and trying some of the stuff out here.Advertisement

This is a reply to # 1,371,033The doc gave me some prescription probiotics, and it's cut down a whole lot on the evil smells. I don't get quite the same negative reactions from people that I once got.
All my drinking and times on Antibiotics might've done in the good bacteria in my colon. Probiotics medication (supposedly the probiotics in live yogurt get mauled on their way to the colon) along with prebiotic food to feed the good bacteria might be worth a try. Prebiotic foods include live yogurt, bananas, onions, and garlic.
The other that may help is getting more fiber, but stay away from gas producing fibers such as beans, broccoli, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage, and other dark greens of the brassica family.
There's a fiber supplement called Citrucel that doesn't cause flatulence (or some other methylcellulose based fiber).
Fiber moves food more quickly along and gives less time for bacterias to break down the food causing flatulence.
Dunno if that'll help anyone here, but heck, worth a try if you haven't already. The probiotics did well for me.- Re: What are foods that reduce fecal... StanksAlot

This is a reply to # 1,379,827Good info Quackified... if you don't mind, what probiotics did the doc put you on?
I've been taking metamucil for about the past week (due to some gastrointestinal issues) and it seems to be working very well.
