Re: Why do I smell like a fart/poop when I didnt fart?

Hi, sorry to hear you have this problem. I've had the body issue for a while too. I'm looking into getting tested for TMAU - aka Fish odor syndrome where your body has a genetic disorder and can not break down choline which comes in alot of every day foods such as eggs, avacado, etc... It is a bit tough to get the testing done as only one place in the US does the testing. If you are interested in it let me know and I can send you the information. I also am looking into the possibility of it being candida, have you been tested for overgrowth of bacteria in your body? For me I think that i've had the candida/yeast issue since childhood but the build up has been up and down dependent on what stresses i was going through in life, i notice my Body Odor issues show up more so during stressful times in my life. This leads me to assume that the hormonal imablance, stress is helping the yeast grow. I have IBS, have had since chidhood i believe and i notice my stool does smell very bad as well. If you have IBS and are constantly constipated, the fecal build up in your body can also be causing the wreak in smell. These are all ideas i've gotten through reading all the forums that it could possibly be. One by one i'm trying to tackle each. I plan on getting food allergy testing done soon as well to see what i can and can't eat before i decide to go on any type of diet like the candida/leaky gut syndrome diet. Thank you for sharing your story, it helps to know that others are going through this too and i'm not alone. I hope that you're doing better and your diet is helping. The diet thing might be the best for you regardless of if it is the reason or not, cant' hurt to eat healthier and elminate bacteria causing foods. Tweet
