Possible cure

I have had chronic and highly offensive bb for over 40 years and it has been one of the saddest and most humiliating experiences blighting many happy moments in my life. By chance I think I have found something that helps. My theory is that (in my case and maybe for others) my bb is caused by a lack of stomach acid which leads to poor digestion and assimilation of food. Stress and self consciousness aggravate the problem - hence the awful self fulfilling prophecy that we who worry about our breath, end up making it even worse.

My solution which seems to be working and others may have tried already is simply one teaspoon of cider vinegar in warm water 3 times a day before meals. My coated dry tongue and vile taste has disappeared and instead I have a pink, wet, healthy tongue - even in the morning - though I still have some bb on waking up. It seems miraculous and for those who think their bb is linked to poor digestion and 'hypochloridia' or lack of stomach acid - give it a try. I do hope this can be of help to others - I empathise so strongly with everything that people write on this website and it is comforting to know that we're not all alone suffering without anyone to speak to about it all.

Good luck - and try it. You must use organic apple cider vinegar - just try a little bit first - it tastes not unpleasant! Also try 7/11 breathing for relaxation - breathe in to the count of 7 and out to the count of 11 for a few minutes. This relaxes the stomach and helps alleviate the bb caused by anxiety and stress.
