Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Day 2...

Woke up with a slight metal taste in my mouth, but that is common with the antibiotics. My mouth wasn't too bad this morning. No severe side effects yet. Stomach was gurgling last night, but everything seems normal this AM.

Ok, wish me luck! I started my triple therapy today... 1. Amoxcillin 2. Prilosec 3. Clarithromycin [/list] Also taking probiotics and K-12 for the mouth. I will keep a post of progress. Gosh, I wish we could just find out how to "cure" this! So much crap to go through and still to not have...

Just FYI... Definition of Booster shot Booster shot: An additional dose of a vaccine needed periodically to "boost" the immune system. For example, a booster shot of the tetanus and diphtheria (Td) vaccine is recommended for adults every 10 years. http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.as...

I am going to do the 2 week treatment. Good luck to you too!

Hi Girlie Girl and Snobuni, Did you guys do a test to confirm h. pylori or did you do a home test?????????? Drastic No, I didn't, but the tests aren't very reliable. Many Gastrologist will treat, without test confirmation, based on symptoms. I have many "vague" abdominal symptoms that I h...

Hey Girlie Girl, I'm doing the same 'cept with tetracycline amd metro instead of amoxicillin and clarithro. We should compare notes on how it's going!! :D When do you plan on starting? Snobuni, This will be very interesting. I know people think we are crazy for doing this, but if we don't try we wi...

Hey girlie girl, Do you know which combination of antibiotics and PPI you plan to try? I think there are a few different options. I am using... -amoxicillin -clarithromycin -omeprazole for 2 weeks. As I am taking them, I will be using probiotics, yogurt, & K-12 for the mouth. I have not gotten ...

I plan on trying the triple therapy and will be using probiotics before I start and well after I finish. This was an interesting article I found on H. Pylori treatment and probiotics. Just FYI...

Good luck Girlie Girl, I'll be really interested to hear how this works out. BTW, how come you're not taking metronidazole? I had more access to Amoxicillin and you can still have alcohol with it. Metronidazole has some serious reactions with alcohol. We have a couple of Christmas parties to attend...

Ok, I am currently in the process of treating myself for H. Pylori/Halitosis. I order my amoxicillin and am in the process of ordering the Biaxin and Prilosec. I am ordering from: http://mexmeds.com.mx/index.php I am going to follow this regimen from the Helicobacter Foundation: GENERIC NAME DOSING ...

I think we are onto something. I am willing to try it if I can my hands on the medication. I have normal sinuses, no tonsils, and normal gums and teeth. I question if I have H. Pylori though. I think the only way to find out if this is a possible cure is to actually try it and then post our specific...

I found some useful info on this website... http://www.helico.com/disease_weird.html Lots of people with chronic halitosis respond to treatment for H.pylori. This may be because mouth bacteria, sinus and periodontal disease responds to the same antibiotics. It may be that H.pylori is the cause of th...
