Liver/fecal Odor Etc
Posted: 05-24-07 23:02pm

This is kind of hard for me to say but here i go.

When i was younger i got alcohol poisoning from a night out with my friends. Since alcohol effects the liver does anyone know anything about if the liver can give out nasty, fart smelling odors? Does anyone know what the liver is capable of doing while damaged?

fecal body odor
Posted: 06-23-08 21:43pm

Wow. I'm wondering the same thing myself. I've had a fecal odor since I was 13, I'm 33 now. I have a sulfur/rotten egg odor that comes off of me. There are two different odor types. One smell is very explosive- giving off a very concentrated rotten egg odor. I was thinking this might be from a malfunctioning illiocecal valve since the odor comes on so quick. The other is a sulfur/garbage smell that lingers off of me. It will go away when I take a shower but comes back 15 minutes later. I have tried just about everything I have read up on. Chlorophyll, cleanses, herbal laxatives, enzymes, probiotics,
glutamine powder, etc. I just had a colonoscopy and an endoscopy done, everything was fine except for an inflammed stomach which I got protonix for. It seems like triggers are alcohol, coffee, smoking, and acid juice like orange juice. As of 3 months ago I quit drinking alcohol/beer which I use to drink a lot of. I thought the smell would go away but it happened again when I went to a AA meeting a couple days ago. I got a panel of blood done and everything was ok except for uric acid was high and some liver inflammation. AST (SGOT) 119 and ALT (SGPT) was 117 and this was a while back. The numbers aren't all that high but when I got a cat scan my liver was really shiny and the lady asked if I drink alcohol. I recently went to a gastrologist and he said there is nothing he can do for the smell. He said it is probably a genetic thing and that everybody has there own body odors. I tried to tell him this is not your everyday odor. That I could make a cafeteria evacuate in nothing flat with this odor. He doesn't know what to say. It was my primary Dr. that gave me my blood test. All my gastrologist ordered was the colonoscopy and endoscopy with no blood tests or anything. Anyways, I too am wondering if this could be a liver problem that is causing the smell. However, the gastrologist said there is absolutely no connection he can think of. Anyone have anything like this or any information that could help me? Thanks, Wesley

ITS AMAZING HOW THESE DOCTORS DON'T SEEM TO LISTEN TO US, THERE HAS TO BE SOME TYPE OF REASON OR ANALOGY AS TO WHATS GOING ON IN OUR BODIES. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THE SAME SYMPTOMS, SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE AS TO HAVE ANSWERS FOR ALL US WHO ARE SUFFERING FROM THIS HORRIBLE DEBILITATING CONDITION, PLEASE, IF THERE IS ANYONE OUT THERE LISTENING TO OUR PLEAS AND CRIES, COME UP WITH A CURE OR SOLUTION TO WHY WE ARE EXPERIENCING THIS.
