    Often sinus infections can cause this I have heard. Have you been back for any further treatment?

    Also if this is effecting your life in a way that you are feeling like killing yourself please call this hotline or speak to someone who can at least help you in that regards.

    I have the same problem.. Hi, I am dealing with this problem that has pretty much taken over my life. My problem is I feel like I’m giving off a bad smell. I think it coming from my nose(its not an infection). I shower about 3 times a day, put cologne on, deodorant. When some people hug me they say I smell good, but when the get close to my face it seems like there face goes sour. Sometime when I pass people they cover there nose. I’ve seen about 3 doctors regarding this problem but they don’t see anything wrong. I know something isn’t right and I don’t think I can live my life for another 4 months like this. I’m going crazy... I think if we work together we might be able to help each other out.

    I too had that problem. It started 3 years ago. I don't know what caused it. I was a social person, going out with friends and talking to people. When I started to smell like poop I started to stay away from people. I isolate myself so I would not be embarrassed when people hold their nose when they are in my face or around me. My friends say they did not smell anything but at work people tend to stay away from my area. I tried doctor's but they don't see anything wrong. I tried all kinds of stuff to get rid of the smell, Therabreath nasal spray makes it worst, now that I think about it it started when I used that product. Anyway, I recently tried something that seems to be working. I bought some Oregano oill (kills fugus) from the health store, I poured a few drops in a cup of warm water, dipped a q-tip in the water and stuck it all the way up my nose until I couldn't go any further... snuff it up (it may burn the first time). Then I dipped my tougue scrapper in the water and scrapped the back of my tougue as far back as possible. After while, you will need to spit out the clear snot that will be coming out your nose and mouth. Then brush your teeth and do not eat anything for a while. I guess it's best to do this before you go to bed. Repeat for 2 more nights. Hopefully this will help you too.

    I can't believe there are so many people including myself who are suffering from this. I think the medical community should be ashamed that they've haven't address this obvious issue. Yesterday, I felt so low that for the first time I felt like life wasn't worth living. However, I do have hope that eventually people will realize that this is a medical issue and not a hygiene issue. I am a very clean, well groomed and considered attractive middle aged woman and I am the gossip at work because of this condition. I too am so embarrassed that I no longer have a social life because I've decided to isolate. I am going to my ENT in a couple of days and I going to ask about clinical trial that may be available because I've just heard too many different horror stories that I fear this might be a life sentence.

    (sorry for my bad english)i am from the Philippines and also have the same problem its started when I am was 14 yrs old then suffer by discriminating and take insult by my friends and even my family. I become isolated, short tempered and sometimes violent, I attempted to commit suicide but I fail. It last in almost 10 years. Hospitals here in the Philippines are low tech, specially in ENT. I don't remember how many times I got checkup in a different hospital. But one day I found an ENT specialist who had experience on dealing with my case. He said to me that the hole in my sinus is too large and my lungs produce too much phlegm, so everyday passed the phlegm is stacked on my sinus and when it is stacked it produce a foul odor, he called it atrophic rhinitis. He suggested to me that spray sodium chloride solution (dextrose water) using syringe without needle everyday. After a few months it 50% works and continuing to improve. I also suggest that regular exercise ei. Jugging or swimming (when not cold), drinking 8 glass of water everyday are helping, and one last advise, overcome any kind of problem. That is the positive thing I learned with this kind of condition.

    I positive it come from my nose,because when I breath by mouth,people have no feels.If I breath using nose,there must be pinching the nose.I also have a dental cavity on the lower left molar.Whether there is possible that the root of my tooth had gone bad?It is the cause of the bad smell?

    I had a bad smell coming down my nose for ages. It was like a mixture of rotting flesh and faeces. It was so bad it would stink out the entire room. I couldn't go near people it was so bad. Finally I've got rid of it. This is how I did it. First of all, I started drinking lots of water during the day. Secondly, I carried an olbas oil inhaler around with me and kept sniffing it up my nostril. Thirdly, three or four times a day, I took a sudafed tablet and, an hour later, blew my nose hard and washed it out with warm salty water. Finally, whenever my nose felt blocked, I massaged the sinus area between my nose and cheek with my fingertips till the blockage eased (usually, a combination of massage and olbas oil would free the sinus within five minutes or so). It took a few weeks to clear it, but at last the smell is completely gone. I know how distressing this condition can be, so I hope this helps someone. Remember - drink plenty water! It's vital. I think this condition is triggered by dehydration - the mucus gets so thick it ceases to run down the sinus tube, stagnates and turns rotten. Above all, don't despair - it can be cleared. Good luck!

    If its smelling like poop and ENT doctors can not see anything wrong with that end of your body you might want to go see a gastric specialist. You may have some plaque in your intestinal tract that is seeping bad odor up though your nose and mouth. Im not even kidding... I have heard of this before. OR look into having a colonic treatment.Life is to precious to be hiding away missing it. Take control.

    I felt the same way about killing myself, but I could not go through with it. Sometimes you think it's gone because you don't smell it but when someone comes around they start rubbing their nose then you start to get self conscious again. The smell comes out of nowhere! I think it is some form of bacteria in the throat or back of the tougue. The bacteria is living and thriving on whatever you eat. I tried eating yogurt only with the live cultures and drinking lots of water for about 2-3 weeks. I lost a lot of weight but it really helped. Stay away from alcohol or anything that will dry your mouth or spicy foods and onions... that only makes it worse. I hope this helps. Please let me know.
