Post everyone with the "smell" problem

you know the problem where you always think your butt smells or somethin. i have the same problem. i know it sounds weird to those that dont have it. anyway i have a question for those have it. do you always have a persistent need to like FART? i do. im sitting there in a crowded movie theater or anything like that and always like some fart needs to come out but i try to hold it in but its impossible when it keeps comin back so some probably leaks out and people smell it. this always happens. i dont know how to stop it because it keeps coming back! i dont even know if its IBS or what but it seems my colon cant control when i can hold in gas or what not. my life is terrible because of this; people think i smell when its this stupid pr oblem.

Re: everyone with the "smell" problem

I am so sorry you have to deal with what you are going through. And, unfortunately, I can totally relate.

I was diagnosed with IBS quite some time ago, and no prescription medication or natural supplement or elimination diet has cured me, or even helped more than a little bit.

I'm fortunate I am a woman and can carry around a pocketbook, I don't know WHAT I'd do if I were a guy. I carry body spray with me EVERYWHERE. Not for my body, for the air around me. I smell up every room I ever go into! It's gross. Sometimes my underclothes smell like a dirty diaper.

I've had to postpone events because I'm just too smelly to be around people, which is a cryin' shame, and makes me feel really dirty and disgusting. Which I am not at all, like you said in your letter, it's this terrible problem.

Probiotics have helped with the excruciating pain. Eliminating wheat and dairy have helped somewhat with the bloating. But nothing has helped with this gas. I've had doctors and naturopaths tell me to eat less protein, eat less fruit, eat less fiber, eat more fiber, don't eat eggs. They don’t' know.

Not that I'm happy in any way about your ailment. But I am sort of relieved to read about someone else with the same problem. I mean, I look normal, I act normal, and I'm sure you do too. We just have this secret, which sometimes isn't so secretive, like when someone sneaks into a room before I get to spray completely. I always wonder what they think. If it happens once, I guess the person could just think I had Mexican food for lunch or something. But if that same person smells an odor coming from my direction EVERY DAY... Hence the spray bottle. It’s funny, people always tell me my classroom (I'm a teacher) always smells so nice. Because I spray it with vanilla body spray a million times a day!

I wish I had the name of a magic pill for you, to make your problem disappear. If you ever find one yourself, please let us smelly people know about it!

Good luck.

Re: everyone with the "smell" problem

I have heard about special liners for underwear that contain charcoal (I think!) which supposedly absorbs the smell of farts. They were created by a guy whose wife suffered from colitis. I don't know where you could even start to look for them - maybe ask a trusted doctor or pharmacist? Might be worth looking into.

Re: everyone with the "smell" problem

Thank you Georgette!! That is an awesome suggestion. You would think that I would have heard about them before from at least one of the multi-numerous gastrointestinal or naturopathic doctors I've been to over the years.

I'm searching the net as soon as I finish this note!
