I'm a pretty woman, a guy came in the break room right behind me as I was getting chips out of the vending machine and out of nowhere a fart smell came out. It also happened to me the day before yesterday I was standing in line for lunch and out of the blue a fart smell appeared. The weird thing is when I'm thinking about stinking it will happen. Sometimes when I'm not thinking it still happens. There's nothing I can do about it and it makes people treat me with disrespect. I'm not sitting here worrying about it because I know there's nothing I can do. For the last few days I have been eating fried chicken, fries and sometimes sub sandwiches and chips. My body just simply cannot handle protein. I guess I am bound to be treated with disrespect and disgust for the rest of my life. I refuse to walk around with no confidence and I continue to be brave and live my life, but this smell thing knows the exact right time when to pop up. When that fart smell came out it was just me and him alone. Anyway I deal with humiliation often, more than the average person. At home everything is fine and there is no smell but when I go out or to work all of a sudden there's a smell. I don't know if you guys have ever heard of gaslighting but having this problem is like a form of gaslighting. To make me doubt my perception and to never know what is real. It's stressful and I'm sick of it. Word might be getting around how I am farting and walking off (even though I am not doing that and is being blamed for something I'm not doing or have no control over.)

Hi there Possible Help, I am really really sorry to hear about the horrible situation you are in. It's something I can totally relate to. There have been plenty of times where I haven't felt the sensation of passing gas and actually haven't smelt anything either but someone would turn to me with a disgusted look on their face saying "did you just fart?" It just seems to seep out of me and I have absolutely no control over it ( :Sometimes it's worse than a fart smell - one time I was eating my lunch in the canteen of this place I used to work during the summer when one of my co workers exclaimed "there's some smell of shit around this table!" Again I certainly hadn't crapped my pants and couldn't smell anything but due to similar occurances down through the years I knew I must be the culprit. Just wondering have you ever had a tmau test or perhaps a small intestinal bacterial growth test? Don't know would they be much help to you but to be honest I'm not sure I can think of any other tests that could offer any insight. I tested negative for tmau but positive for s.i.b.o. Am totally with you about the protein, I can't digest it either. Red meat, diary and nuts as well makes me smell so so badly.If you don't mind me saying the fried chicken, fries and chips sound a bit greasy to me. I only say that because my digestion is very poor and whenever I eat greasy foods my stomach often feels sick after it and I'm guessing my odor gets a lot worse. Having said that so many foods seem to disagree with me so hopefully you would have a greater tolerance of different foodstuffs than I. Unfortunately juding by the reactions I get I seem to smell pretty constantly but there is no doubt my odor can spike and get a lot worse for two or three days at a time and then return to more normal levels. Interestingly too during those very bad days I can smell especially of one particular odor which even i can detect like a fart smell sometimes, a garbage smell others, fecal sometimes (yes it must be great fun being around me). Perhaps you are going through one of those bad times yourself at the moment and even if your underlying odor condition doesn't disappear hopefully your current problem will die down a bit. Perhaps you might like to tweak your diet a bit to see would that help? Yeah the stress of this condition kills me too. Especially as I usually can't smell myself whenever I go out somewhere public even if it's just a shop it is uppermost on my mind whether I'm smelling really badly or not. It's very very admirable your attitude of refusing to be cowed by thiss awful condition and retaining your self confidence. My self confidence has disappeared a long long time ago haha. If I amy say you come across from your posts as a very caring and kind person so while there will always be cruel people ready to put the boot in I'm sure most of your co workers see past this particular problem you have and see you for the very upstanding person you are.
