no matter what I do I smell like poop and it's destroying me life?

Honey I think alot of this is in your head. I doubt you smell that bad in reality. People in high school are very mean and abusive. High school is NOT the end of the world, you need to be more self confident and maybe talk to a doctor about this issue. You may need prescription deoderant or maybe take some vitamins that makes your stool (poop) not have a smell to it. There are over the counter drugs available that will make your stool oderless. Maybe try mouth wash and feminine deoderant spray FDS or Summers Eve and wear deoderant body spray. Also douche regularly and try taking a BATH instead of a shower. Baths help get up in there to get you clean. Sometimes women need to fill the tub with water and get feminine wash and let yourself soak good, I take 1 -1 1/2 hour baths! Really! But dont committ suicide hun, talk to a suicide help line or go to a school counseler about the bullying you are getting, its abusive. You are young and going through puberty and this can be a very rough time in your life. Dont let them win. Be strong and talk to a trusted adult.Good luck!

Hi Jenny, this breaks my heart hearing this. I find it a shame that people today are so cruel and cold hearted, have no sympathy and in some cases cant even empathize. Listen, I can tell by your choice of words that you are a very beautiful person both inside and out. I have a daughter she is 18, very beautiful girl, not just saying that because she is my daughter, she is in fact a model for Hollister on whats called staff of Hollister, yet I know she struggles with people hating on her and find things, any little thing to make a big deal. OK perhaps you do have a smell thats different, everybody does to some degree, that's whats makes us individuals. One of the hardest things to learn for me as an only child growing up who considered myself a good guy, was that everybody will not like me, I struggled with that for so many years..For whatever reason I turned to drugs, I don't know why, other than I am an addictive person and somewhat depressed as well. I had many hard lessons and hurt myself permanently in my now older days. Drugs wont help, I promise, the results of drugs is always the same, jails deaths and institutions.. Another thing that wont help is disrespecting your body. If in fact you do have a smell that lets just say is unique, its only a inconvenience for now, don't go doing things that makes it a chronic problem. You have a boy friend because you are love worthy and don't let anybody ever tell you different. Its not you at all, its the fools in the world who has to put others down to feel better about themselves. Trust me, if you had a horrible smell, someone would be giving you feedback that is constructive rather than critical. I have read some good advice from others too and don't think you should throw a bunch of perfume on, be natural and love who you are and those who love you..

i have your same problem since many years, i've seen many doctors and most of them tried to make me believe it was all in my head only because they didn't know what to do about it...anyhow long story short i came to the conclusion that (after researching over and over the years) there could be two reasons: it's either a condition called anismus which is when the muscles in the rectum don't work correctly as they should, so they contract instead of relax when defecating, in result part of the stool gets trapped in the rectum and cause the smell; another condition is calle rectal intusseption (the spelling might not be correct but you can google it and read about it) in this case the rectum kinda collapse partially and turn in a funnel like shape near the sphincter also causing some of the stool to get trapped somewhere inside, also resulting in producing the poop smell that doesn't go away no matter how hard and long you wash yourself; i can't tell the reason why everyone else around can smell it but me, but one thing is for sure that it is not just in my head, after a while i can actually smell it too and this has changed my life completely; it feels like I'm cursed with a decease that doesn't hurt physically but destroys my self esteem, my social life, my career and my love life as well; trust me many times i get so depressed about it that suicide seems like the only way out of this problem, but thankfully (or not..?) there's always a little glimpse of hope that one day i will find a cure once for all; could definitely use a good real chat with someone who is in my same shoes since the few close people i tried to open up to only denied acknowledging my situation, probably because they thought it would help, when instead it just frustrated me even more. So if anyone out there knows what I'm talking about please come forward and maybe together we can help each other somehow. federicodestro@hotmail.com

I hope you found a solution to your problem. But I been going through problems with smelling bad. Just started happening to me this year. All my co-workers turn against me and stop talking to me. They would either hold there nose when walking pass me or cough at me really loud. I don't understand because I shower and use deodorant all the time but something in my body must have change. Before this happen people would tell me how good I smell. Now all I hear is how bad I smell. I can't smell it so I don't know exactly what people smell when they are near me. I know it's not in my head because random people I don't know would walk pass me then start coughing really loud. This problem has cause me to isolate myself. I stay home and don't go anywhere unless I really have to. Going to work is like torture for me. I constantly get made fun of all day long at work. I call off work so much because of this i know i am close to getting fired from missing work. Don't know what else to do.

Poop Smells

Hey Jenny!

I apologize that I don't have an answer for you. I know this was posted about 2 years ago, so I hope everything cleared up, and if not, I'll be praying for you.

I am about your age and I am experiencing a similar issue with someone close to me so I was browsing yahoo answers to see what people wrote on the subject, and when I read the comment from "Funt" I was deeply disturbed and felt the need to tell you not to let anything he said to you bother you! He was completely rude and the way he answered was uncalled for. I just wanted to let you know that I support the Best Answer and that that other dude's answer made me very upset.

I am so sorry that you are dealing with this or ever had to deal with this.

Never ever consider suicide, I promise you that will not solve any of your problems. I understand it must be tough for you to live that way but you can find help!

This is really late but it seems like you might have a medical condition that can be dealt with! You might have trimethylaminuria. It is not serious and there are ways to reduce the smell or completely get rid of it! Please go see a doctor and do not even contemplate suicide. Committing suicide over a body odor is NOT a good idea. And you know what? If some people don't want to talk to you because they think you smell bad, that is good. You know why? Because that gets rid of all the jerks. So you know that the people who are your friends now are good people who appreciate you for who you are inside and not what you smell like! That's how it should be!

Im a 21 year old guy and im goin through the exact same thing as you. Im always thinkin bout suicide. Because in my eyes im not gonna be happy if this continues. Im also depressed and anti social,I used to have alot of friends until they got tired of smellin me I guess. It takes alot of mental focus just to make it through my day. I work at a grocery store and dealing wit all the faces and comments from everyone kills me inside. Im a clean person so the fact that I smell and theres nothing I can do about it drives me crazy. I dont have a gf(I have in the past). I have no friends,and no life. My breath also smells really bad. Iv done everything I can to try and resolve this problem. But no matter what I do I get the same reaction. I try to ask my family and they all tell me its all in my head as well. Im wasting my youth being in my room by my self kuzz thats where I feel most comfortable. I feel your pain 100% and if anyone has info please please help. Tired of bein alive but not livin

If you're bathing this much and still think you smell it may be health related, I would definitely see a doctor; likely will need to see several. Honestly to me it sounds more like those kids are assholes, maybe you had a bad smell once and now they won't let you live it down. People can be cruel and completely ignorant. IF everyone (fam) is lying to you and you really do smell bad, then they are the ones with the problem not you.

I totally doubt that they saying you smell bad Jenny, and i don't believe it, cause 1st of all, you have clothes on which i doubt will smell bad people are just too ignorant. Things happen to me like this sometimes, if they say my feet smell, then they gonna think is that i just didn't take a shower at all. Samething for your breath as an example, most people are gonna say that you just did not take shower just cause your breath smell...

If your friends or others are keep saying that your breath smells like poop, and you want to get rid of it, here's some advice:

1) Get a toothbrush that has a solid bristle, so you can feel and hear that when you're brushing.

2) Get the ''Colgate Optic White'' toothpaste, (which i personally use) and i recommend it, because it is very effective.

3) When you first put toothpaste on your brush, brush your teeth, just the teeth, every part of your teeth for like 2 minutes, then rinse your mouth.

4) and last but not least, put some more toothpaste, and go just for the tongue, especially the back of your tongue, brush your tongue for like 10 seconds then rinse your mouth again and gargle water in the back of your tongue few times.

I know this is 2 years old now, and I hope you got to the root of it by now. Some people do have a smell and one gets used to their odor and can't tell.

This is my take. Your diet is most likely the cause. Eat healthy and make sure you are regular (not constipated). Eat mostly fruits and vegetables, limit meat because it stays in your digestive tract for 2 to 3 days and putrifies in your gut. Same for dairy. Taking magnesium oxide (mag07 is what I have) at night will add oxygen to your intestines to break down the food, and you'll go smoothly in the morning. I use this when I'm not too regular. It beats laxatives and is pain free.

For underarm odor, use vinegar with a cotton ball after you shower or when you notice b.o. It kills bacteria. The vinegar smell dissipates after about 30 minutes. I use it every day and I know it works. Don't forget your antiperspirant when it dries.

If you have smelly feet you can soak them in black tea and water. It works amazingly!

Gargle with 3% hydrogen peroxide and hold for a few minutes. Just use a small amount cause it foams up a lot. A bonus is it whitens your teeth.

Please don't ever use a douche! It disrupts your healthy flora in there and can make you prone to yeast infections. Just let it do its thing naturally. Hope these tips help!
