Hi, i'm a 20 year old male who hasn't seen a doctor in about 7 years. about 14 months ago I was in a high speed automobile accident during which I wasn't wearing a seatbelt and the airbags didn't deploy. At the time I was heavily under the influence, as well as sleep deprived, and I was afraid of getting ticketed for these things, so I refused medical attention, signed a waiver, and got out of the ambulance and got my mother to pick me up at the accident. I rationalized that since I was able to walk fine, I wouldn't have any problems and had just gotten incredibly lucky.

For the next two weeks, I had dificulty walking, which I attributed to bruising and such, and over time I was able to become accustomed to it. I also experienced a string of respiratory infections, the worst of which was a simultaneous case of strep throat and sinusitis, which seemed to concern the GP at the walk-in clinic, and I was prescribed antibiotics, which seemed to clear that up.

Now, since then, I've experienced odd symptoms. A combination of Fecal body odor, fecal halitosis, and a constant bloated feeling, shortness of breath, and frequently i feel a gurgling sensation as though pockets of trapped gas were being expelled. It seems like a belch, but I can tell it's coming from "lower" in my abdomen, if that makes sense, and it has a distinct odour of feces.

My question is, is it possible for someone to live with peritonitis for over a year?

When I use the bathroom, I often feel like the majority of the feces is being diverted and only small rabbit excrement-like pieces come out, often with undigested food in them, and my urine is thick, crystalline and odorous. Furthermore, I lost about 40lbs and I have only decreased my level of activity since then, spending most of my time seated at work or at home in front of the computer.
