Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Today is Day 7 of treatment, and things are still going well. My bloating has decreased, but I'm still bloated. I will continue to eat an unrestricted diet, but I am going to cut back on the carbs and drink one protein shake a day as a meal replacement. The first day of treatment I weighed 158 lbs, ...

Hi! I only just started my treatment and I am on Day 2. So far, so good! My bad breath is gone and I am eating an unrestricted diet while on the antibiotics. I posted an Update 4 today, and plan to regularly update during my treatment. Hi Searching_for_a_cure2, how has the treatment gone? Have the t...

I'm sorry you are having a rough time. I had tonsil stones and had my tonsils removed. Unfortunately, that only got rid of the tonsil stones. Try to see if changing your diet will get rid of the tonsil stones. If it does, maybe the tonsillectomy will work for you. If it doesn't you may need to furth...

I'm back! It took a while to get everything in order, but I'm on Day 2 of my Xifaxan + Neomycin antibiotic treatment. I'm also taking Interfase Plus and 5g of partially hydrolyzed guar gum (dissolved in water). Great news, I think the treatment is working! My stomach is bloated, but the bad breath i...

Hi, searching_for_acure2, how has this week been so far for you? I decided to wait to start the antibiotics. When I picked up the Neomycin from the pharmacy, I was informed it has a FDA black box warning- meaning it can potentially cause health issues (like hearing problems) and can interact with o...

Searching_for_acure2, what has the doc said about the ‘’ 5g partially hydrolyzed guar gum (phgg) daily while taking antibiotics’’? I told the functional dr I wanted to add that to my treatment because of a clinical trial result: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20937045/ She didn't see a problem wit...

Here’s info about Interphase buofilm buster, which might explain the antibiotics offering only temporary relief (many on this forum has posted about bb coming back after antibiotics): ‘’Biofilm consists of microorganisms encased within a self-produced matrix of exopolysaccharides and exoproteins th...

who prescribed these meds? Is this a new protocol? My GI dr prescribed Xifaxan for SIBO without testing me for SIBO. I wanted to get tested before taking antibiotics so I found a functional doctor who has a MD. The functional dr gave me the SIBO test, and prescribed the Neomycin. A combination of X...

I got the results of my SIBO test. I have a mix of hydrogen and methane SIBO. This is the treatment plan I will be following: Biofilm buster (Interfase Plus) for at least a week before starting the antibiotics then Xifaxan 550mg 3x a day for 14 days Neomycin 500mg 2x a day for 14 days 5g partially h...

This is a new account. I previously posted under username searching_for_a_cure. Update- I have good news and bad news. My bb is definitely GI caused. When I met my GI dr and discussed my symptoms, his first thought was a disease called gastroparesis (GP- slow emptying of the stomach). Basically, foo...
