Hey @hopeful 33250,thank you for your response.A little bit about myself:I'm 21 y/o,5 foot 9,weigh 60kg.Been to three doctors.The first did some test(stool sample) and results were pus cells found.Put me on antibiotics.There were no signs of improvement,the oduor got worse.The second doctor put me on acid blocking drugs without any tests.Still no improvements.The third doctor did some tests and found typhoid,parasites,malaria and amoeba.Proceeded to put me on antibiotics and other meds for ~3 months but the oduor gets worse everyday.The tests usually use blood/urine/stool sample.Yes,its an everyday occurrence.I do have bowel movement issues-I have to go more than once for it to be complete,undigested food particles in fecal matter,constipation and loose stool.

@turdlez I appreciate the added information. Have you had an upper endoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy as well?

Given your history of one doctor finding, " typhoid, parasites, malaria and amoeba" I'm wondering if you have seen an infectious disease specialist?

If this were me, given the unusual characteristics of this disorder, I would undoubtedly seek a second opinion from a multi-disciplinary medical team, like a university medical school or a Mayo facility. Have you considered this?
