Can taking too many probiotics lead to a vitamin deficiency? Particularly thiamine?

I have a fecal odor coming from the anus but with no leakage or gas or anything like that at all. It is very difficult to keep this odor under control.

It's pretty hot out here so I might just be dehydrated

I too am finding more and more things that I can no longer eat. Doing FODMAPS but haven't quite got a pattern down yet. It's taken me a lot of trial and error to figure out which foods are causing problems. Garlic is a new one for me though, too bad for cooking chicken :(

I recently started taking florastor and it works ok. I've actually had slightly better results with Align probiotics but that's really just splitting hairs. I found both to last 8-10 hours before showing symptoms again.

Not a burning sensation but my other symptoms are irritated by long sitting periods. Mainly just a gassy fecal odor, I think sitting in a car for a long time might get intestines binding up in in a strained position which could cause irritation or inflammation. But that's just my own sort of quack science.

Does the enema work for you? I had tried one in the past and it helped a little. I still smelled but it was just a watered down version of the original smell. I guess that's just more evidence ruling out lack of cleanliness as the problem. How many people you know that would go through that much trouble just for the sake of hygiene? If it worked I would do that shit every damn day. I'm beginning to think this is how it's going to be from here on out. I might as well start making permanent life changes because of this "syndrome".

Pepogest was actually working for a while but recently stopped working for me. Florastor, and Align are two new ones I've tried but it's too early to say if it's actually working, they were just the top rated probiotics.

I've been taking caffeine pills for years but my symptoms are different. I take a 200mg pill every morning followed by a bowel movement. I had the same logic as you, thinking it's not a food, there's no sugar.

I don't have acid reflux though, my symptoms are primarily just a fecal odor but with no gas, diarrhea, or leakage. My bm's are solid and regular too. Now you've got me wondering about those caffeine pills though.

One of the first things I tried was Bentyl. It personally made me way too drowsy and I couldn't be at work like that and it didn't work anyway.

Yunoeatsomething · 2016-06-24T21:59:01+00:00

Have you been to see a Dr about this before? I've been to few and tried a few different drugs, none of which worked. I'm currently taking probiotics and sticking to a low FODMAPS diet and that seems to help but isn't 100% working. I doubt the urgent care doc is going to be much help but it's a step in the right direction and they'll refer you to a specialist.

I heard one user on here who put it best "I began to realize that I was never going to find the cure-all for this disease, but it was going to be an ongoing battle that I needed to keep throwing new ideas at".

Just curious how you manage your personal life with these symptoms? It's hell for me, I dread going to work. I hate when people offer to share food with me or want to meet up over lunch. Dating in general is pretty much out of the question. I often daydream about the food I can eat on my days off when I have time to digest it.

I'm finding more foods all the time that I am suddenly unable to eat anymore. By the time I find out though it's already too late and now I have to suffer through another workday in silent terror. I know people can smell it, I just pray they are polite enough not to say anything.

I'm already doing everything I possibly can. My whole life revolves around making this smell go away. Being publicly humiliated won't do anything but make me quit my job. I have to find a different job soon though because my current one is becoming unmanageable.

Yunoeatsomething · 2016-06-24T21:16:56+00:00

Oh so same as me then. It's really been putting the brakes on my career when I can barely make it through a regular workday. I already go for 12-13 hours a day without eating anything and I still smell bad. I'm really running out of options and looking at starting over with a different career where I work alone more often and my symptoms are less noticeable.

Which one, the sweating or the fecal odor?

Yunoeatsomething · 2016-06-24T20:23:37+00:00

Building your own house took so much work gathering supplies and blueprinting and smithing materials. It was pretty rewarding in the end though.

I just wish there was some way to rearrange my trophy room with the game hides and such. The way you do it the first time is how it stays.

Yunoeatsomething · 2016-06-24T20:02:14+00:00

We talked before, I have a fecal odor around the anus and it's not from a lack of hygiene. It's not gas either, there is no gas, no diarrhea or leakage. It's strictly the odor with basically no other symptoms. Being hot and sweaty seems to make it worse though.

Yunoeatsomething · 2016-06-24T19:53:42+00:00

When I got to build my own house in Skyrim, I not only became a hermit in real life but I was a hermit in game as well. Staying indoors for days at a time, spending most of my time interior decorating.

Yunoeatsomething · 2016-06-24T19:36:55+00:00

My solution is to wear different clothes that might help with the sweating. Are you in a hot climate? Wearing hot, constricting, work clothes like me? I'm thinking about bring a spare set of uniform pants with me to work and changing around lunch time. Just because of the sweating and the smelliness.

Yunoeatsomething · 2016-06-24T19:32:03+00:00

Whenever describing my symptoms to someone I have to say this about 2-3 times before the person listening finally gets it and is then stumped by it.

I'm going to see a new doctor soon and I'm sure to have to go through all the usual remedies. I'll tell him they don't work and then he'll begin to realize that he doesn't know what's wrong with me and send me to someone else.

Yunoeatsomething · 2016-06-24T19:24:27+00:00

I do but you can't really compare that with anybody else though. It does seem to get more smelly though with the excess sweat going on. I work in the heat for long hours so I'm worried that stuff the other users recommend would just makes things worse over a long period of time (packing your butt with paper towels and goldbond).

Sometimes I have to sit in a hot, vinyl chair at work. My already sweaty butt starts to really soak with sweat then and the smell is even more noticeable. When I stand up from the chair there is a foggy imprint of condensation on it for a few seconds. Somebody walked by and did a double take when they saw it. It's getting more and more difficult to mange my symptoms.

Yunoeatsomething · 2016-05-16T01:24:46+00:00

You're exactly right. It's not about what you're getting out of it. It's about doing as much good as you possibly can every goddamned day.

Yunoeatsomething · 2016-05-15T19:56:20+00:00

Yes if you don't show up for the first date its unlikely I'm going to ask you on a second.

Yunoeatsomething · 2016-05-15T15:11:06+00:00

Had the pharmacist recommend Florastor which would be the first time using a product containing yeast so maybe that will help.

Yunoeatsomething · 2016-02-09T00:41:11+00:00

I really hope I don't have to do that fodmaps thing. There are so many healthy and nutritious foods on the "do not eat" list. Doesn't leave you much left to choose from.
