Re: feces odor- body odor- from where?
I AM A 20 YEAR OLD FEMALE.MY PROBLEMS STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGO.I WOKE UP 1 DAY WITH A MILD MUSTY LIKE ODOR, I DIDNT MAKE TO MUCH OF IT SO I JUST FORGOT ABOUT IT. IT TOOK ME A FEW DAYS LATER TO REALIZE THAT THE SMELL WAS COMING FROM ME. I USED TO SMOKE ALOT AND THE SMELL GOT WORSE WHEN I DID SO. WHENEVER I WOULD LIGHT A CIGARETTE THEN INHALE AND EXHALE THE SMOKE, I WOULD EMIT THIS STRANGE NASTY SMELL FROM MY MOUTH, FROM THE SMOKE. IT DID NOT EVEN SMELL LIKE SMOKE. I REALIZED THAT ANYTIME I WAS AROUND SMOKE OR SOMEONE LIT UP AROUND ME , WHERE I WOULD BE CLOSE TO THE SMOKE, THE SMELL WOULD BE THERE. ( VERY STRANGE FOR ME, DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS ) SO THEN I STOPPED SMOKING. AND I WOULD SECLUDE MYSELF FROM SMOKE AND ANYTIME ANYONE WOULD LIGHT UP I LEFT THE ROOM.
BUT THEN IT GOT WORSE FOR ME. I STARTED HAVING A MORE DEFINITE ODOR, BUT IT WAS OF FECES. I DO NOT EVEN KNOW WHERE IT IS COMING FROM. I KNOW IT IS NOT GAS THOUGH BECAUSE I DONT FEEL IT. IT OFTEN GETS WORSE WHEN I EAT OR WHEN I SWALLOW ANYTHING, THE ODOR GETS STRONGER. THIS ODOR THAT COME FROM ME ALSO CHANGES. IT GOES FROM STRONG TO MILD. FROM A FECES ODOR TO A MUSTY YEAST LIKE ODOR TO A ROTTEN EGGS ODOR.SOMETIMES IT DOES GO AWAY BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND IT ALWAYS COMES BACK. I HAVE BEEN TO THE DOCTORS ( GI ) I HAVE HAD AN ENDOSCOPY , A COLONOSCOPY, AN ULTRASOUND , CT SCAN AND X RAYS. ALL COME UP MOSTLY NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN HOSPITALIZED FOR THESE " ATTACKS " THAT I HAVE ( BAD CRAMPING, VOMITTING, AND BLEEDING ) ITS GASTROENTERITIS AND MILD GASRTRITIS. THEY SAY I HAVE REACURRING GASTRITIS. ( INFLAMATION OF THE MY INTESTINE) AND THAT I HAVE GERD AND IBS AND HEMMOROIDS. SO I TAKE PRVACID FOR MY GERD . IT HELPS. THEY GAVE BARBITUAETS FOR MY STOMACH, BUT THEY REALLY DONT HELP.BUT NOTHING EXPLAINS THIS ODOR I HAVE. I HAVE NOT TOLD ANY OF THE DOCTORS ABOUT THE DODR, IT IS VERY EMBARRISING. BUT I WILL THE NEXT TIME BECAUSE I KNOW I NEED TO, FOR THEM TO HELP ME.I USED TO BE HAPPY AND SOCIAL AND FUN.
I DONT GO OUT AT ALL ANYMORE BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE EVEN TRIES SUICIDE TWICE AND BEEN PUT IN A HOSPITAL.THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY I NEED HELP BAD. I WANT TO LIVE , BUT I CANT. PLEASE HELP SOMEONE, OR ANYONE WHO MAY HAVE A SIMULAR PROBLEM. I USED TO BE THE LIFE OF THE PARTY BUT NOW IM JUST THE JOKE OF IT!
