I am having a very embarrassing condition for more than 8 years. It
looks like a strange disease. I didn't call it a disease because the
few doctors I have seen about this problem could not tell what it was.
I feel it is the raw meat type of smell came out of my anus(rectum)
most of the time. It is not fart because I will not have any sensation
when it happens. Fart means we will have a sensation. The problem gets
worse after meals and bowel movements, but much better after physical
activities. Because of this embarrassing smell, I have been trying to
avoid being close to other people. My husband thinks I am afraid of
intimacy since I always have to keep some distance between us. He
mentioned several times that I had a strange body odor. But I know it
is not BO but something much worse because it is out of my control. It
would be so embarrassing. I have seen a gastroenterologist also, they
thought what I am suffering is a strange problem and did all kinds of
tests like colonoscopy, endoscopy etc. Nothing has found in the tests.
They were giving me medicines for the depression, which is not helping
me either. What's exactly wrong with me? I am an otherwise healthy
woman and have no GI problem diagnosed except for light IBS. Another
relevant factor is that I always have a light burning feeling in my
rectum/anus area (though my doctor told me I have hemorrhoids) whenever
the smell is present. It is not life threatening, but it's so
embarrassing and annoying that I would rather have a life threatening
disease. I would like to know whether you guys have any info on this
disease.  I feel inflammation around my rectal and colon area mostly
and some times around my penis and buttocks and also it will be more
whenever I sit on any chair at office or sit in my car etc.   If this
disease bothers me alone, I would not have cared that much.  But that
odor is bothering too much even for others. I have also found that
smell comes very often when I am under stress like if going to
socialize or say if I am meeting some new people or work pressure. This
illness is leaving me restless and sick. And I can't socialize or do
anything. It makes me like real sick. Every doctor says there is
nothing but I do feel that some smell is coming out on which I don't
have any control.  I can feel the smell when I am going in a car.  I
can feel it but I have no clue how it's coming out.  I am not passing
any gas and that I am 100% sure.   I am not sure whether the smell is
related to the inflammation or not, but it makes me real sick and
losing interest on life some times. If any of you can help me with any
information I will be more than grateful to you.  Could somebody help
me with this?  So I kindly urge you if any of you has any info please
let me know or personally e-mail me. Thanks a lot for reading through
this.  I really appreciate your help. A desperate woman.

Thanks in advance.
