I don't understand the link between what you wrote and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

You can't smell anything. You take daily showers, you brush your teeth and you're really hygienic. You don't go to the toilet at school. These are not symptoms and pretty useless information lol.

Sometimes you're constipated and your bowels makes some noises and so does your intestines. (by the way, bowels ARE intestines). Ok...

Anyways.

''The primary symptoms of IBS are abdominal pain or discomfort in association with frequent diarrhea or constipation, a change in bowel habits. There may also be urgency for bowel movements, a feeling of incomplete evacuation (tenesmus), bloating or abdominal distention. People with IBS, more commonly than others, have gastroesophageal reflux, symptoms relating to the genitourinary system, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, headache, backache and psychiatric symptoms such as depression and anxiety. Some studies indicate that up to 60% of persons with IBS also have a psychological disorder, typically anxiety or depression. ''

What Terrie says is true.

Your symtoms don't point to IBS. But it could be related to anxiety and stress. Practice mindfulness to reduce worry and introduce calm and peace in your life. You can learn about mindfulness by watching videos on you tube.

I assume you are referring to body odur when you say "smell". Avoid eating onion, garlic and meat for sometime and notice the change!
