Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Mike, you break my heart man. Mainly because I'm on the same exact boat as you. Because of my BB issue, I've had to suppress my rather social personality and become the "quiet and serious guy." I would love nothing more to be able to talk freely without having to worry about BB. My friends...

Dr. Aydinmur, Can you please explain to me what it is indicative of when the water from which I drink starts to change its smell and taste a few minutes after I have drank from the cup? I've noticed (and confirmed by others) that the taste and smell of the water change after I have taken a sip of it...

Meowkitty1 Would you be able to do a test for me? Can you please get a glass of water, take a sip, and let the water sit for about 2-3 minutes? After that time has passed, bring the water up to your nose and smell it. Does the water smell any different? If you feel comfortable with your loved ones, ...

Hello ThisSucks So happy to hear you're cured, my friend. I live for the day to be able to say that, preferably before my wedding next August. I cringe when I think about having to greet and thank our guests with smelly breath :( Earlier in this thread, I said I was going to get an endoscopy. I did,...

Congratulations Searching.

Sounds like a very thorough cleaning job.

Good to know it's not so terrible. My Hep C. doctor ordered an endoscopy for me mainly because I told her of my concern about H. Pylori (I freaking love this doctor, she's so attentive to my concerns and basically did everything I asked of her, plus some of her own suggestions and referrals!). I thi...

Thank you Peace Sounds good. I've gotten a lot of relief from my nasal spray + Chlorhexidine mouthwash (plus good oral hygiene). I'm pretty sure the taste in my mouth and my breath is neutral, but after so many years of being so careful not to talk to people's faces, it's hard to get used to talking...

Daniel, ending your life should never be an option when it comes to BB. I have suffered from this curse since I was 10 or 11. I lived through high school and college. And you know what? I learned to manage and adapt. I made sure not to talk to people's faces. There are ways, as annoying and sad as t...

AHHH Too late, I'm already scared lol.

Was it really that bad? Were you put under conscious sedation?

Also, what exactly was your endoscopy for? H. pylori?

I thought that could be determined with a stool or a blood test.

Cres, s*****e is never the answer. Trust me.

Have you ever considered that you may have Post Nasal Drip and/or sinus problems?

Do you notice a difference in the taste and smell of water after a few minutes of taking a sip from the glass/cup?

Hey ThisSucks!

How bad was your Endoscopy? I have one scheduled for the 10th of this month.

Also, before your treatment and success, did you ever notice a change in the taste and smell of water a couple of minutes after taking a sip of it?

Hello everyone! I've been reading this site for about 3 years now and post on and off under different usernames (because I forget my password :( ) Anyways, I have BB like most of you guys. I have been suffering from it since I hit puberty about 12-13 years ago. No matter how much I brush, floss, use...

Hey Aues, Thanks for following up and updating this thread. I have also read about Metronidazole and people experiencing drastic results, but most of them had their BB come back shortly after stopping. The thing about white coated tongues is that not everyone who has a coated tongue suffers from BB....

Hey Halitosisux, Are you still halitosis/bad breath free? I have been having such a hard time trying to find the source[s] of my bad breath. There are so many things that can be causing this debilitating curse. I am a very social and outgoing person, but ever since I became aware of my BB (and final...
