Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hi all. Long-time BB sufferer here, having suffered for over 22 years (since 2002 at the age of 16 or 17). I am now turning 39 years old this later year. Like many on here, I have explored countless routes to investigate the cause of my BB to try and cure it. I thought it came from my nose (post-nas...

Wondering if anyone is in the East Coast area of the US and was interested in meeting up or chatting? I am in the Washington DC/ Virginia/ Maryland area...close to Baltimore and Philadelphia too. Always open to chat or meet if anyone is interested

A few months. Each time I used it was less effective than the previous time. Teeth change color after a few days to a week of use.

The main symptom of this condition is "extraoral" bad breath from BOTH the nose and the mouth. The sulfur compounds are concentrated in the blood and exhaled through the lungs. If you have it only from your mouth, it's unlikely that this is the cause.

I used to use it whenever I had a social event coming up, and it would work pretty well...until it didn't anymore. Somehow, after using it successfully for like a dozen events or so, it just stopped working entirely and even began to make my breath extremely worse. My teeth also got so stained to th...

I don't suffer from an open pyloric sphincter, but instead a esophageal sphincter (the part where the esophagus connects to the stomach). I had some testing done and the doctor found that I had "severe" reflux, with several dozens of reflux episodes occurring everyday. I am now scheduled f...

Hi j0, just one question - how long after your first dose did you start to feel relief? Specifically of the metronidazole and amoxicillin? I just got my hands on a huge supply of each and am going to try this out. Hoping to start sometime this week. I have an important social function to attend thi...

That’s really disturbing. I don’t think you need to go to such extreme lengths.

Here’s a hint: you have BB. It’s not all in your head. I’d recommend refocusing your energies towards researching and/or seeking treatment to fix the condition.

Thanks KD. I'm planning on trying this first thing tomorrow. I may also supplement with oral probiotics (BLIS K12) to ensure my mouth stays populated with good bacteria.

also these companies do not recommend using mouthwash all the time.....cause it colors your teeth permanently and builds up tartar??? How can it do that if it kills the bacteria?? You see they make a toxic mouthwash with sideeffects they do not recommend to use all the time..... Better look at blea...

Wondering if anyone here notices a spike in their BB on days when they consume caffeine? My BB is 24/7 and around the clock, but it is extremely worse whenever I consume caffeine, particularly from drinks that have it in high levels, and/or from carbonated drinks. Whenever I have such sources of caf...

I’m from DC, couple hours drive from Philly. Anyone from around this area?

Wondering if anyone here has gone on to try the Nissen Fundoplication Surgery procedure to address GERD, and if so, what were the results?
