Re: Have A Bad Rectum Smell

Hello, Pleaezehelp. Sorry to hear about your problem, but I think you've come to the right place for help!

If your problem centers on gas, or includes same, you should also check out this gas forum:

Constant gas or frequently malodorous stools often indicate a bacterial imbalance or infection in the gut. A comprehensive stool analysis, such as through Great Plains Lab in Kansas (U.S.) or Doctor's Data in Illinois can diagnose such ailments. Both labs have websites. (I've heard several negative comments about Great Smokies Lab lately from reliable sources, so I hesitate to recommend them these days.)

If your issue is a matter of non-gas odor, I've heard that some folks have success using those individually foil packed antibacterial wipes a few times a day, and certainly after bowel movements. I've seen these at drug stores. I've also read about someone who very successfully used underarm stick deodorant in that region, although you mention you've already tried this. (Not an antiperspirant, as these simply block pores with aluminum or other compounds -- you'd specifically be looking for an ANTIBACTERIAL with a compound such as triclosan or equivalent.) I've seen a heavy cream deodorant called "Tussy" that might be very effective as well, although not as convenient as a stick deodorant -- you might give that a try.

I'd highly recommend you consult with your doctor about
a comprehesive stool analysis through one of the two labs mentioned above (about $300 if no insurance). Some other labs do stool analyses too, but sometimes they're not as competent or their reports don't include the all-important bacterial and yeast cultures. You'll want to see what imbalances might be present and go from there. I might suggest probiotics (refrigerated acidolphilus and bifido combo, 10-15 billion units per capsule) supplements, but there's no reason to guess and grasp at treatments if you can afford a proper lab diagnosis. Good luck, and post your results!
