Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

also i think that the dry mouth that we talk about having (irrelated to sleep and dehydration) has to with the bb bacteria overgrowth. i think that healthy bacteria stimulate salivation and bb bacteria dry out the mouth. i mean think back to all the times you've tried to drink more water to help get...

i don't think this theory holds water.... bb has a lot to do with hormone changes, but stats show that the majority of people masturbate and the majority of people don't have halitosis. i'm starting to think that halitosis develops kind of like cancer. in cancer, you start out with a normal cell tha...

you probably don't have bb all the time. i have friends who have fecal smelling breath sometimes and when they chew gum it goes away. for example, i went out with my friend once and her breath was kickin (fecal) but i didn't say anything because i was probably in bad shape too. a guy we came with th...

this website lists the bacteria commonly found in different parts of the body. i have had excellent results thus far using s. salivarius from Dr. Katz in combination with natural yogurts. i think if we looked for probiotics that have the ++ signs, we could achieve normal breath. i feel like, if rest...

yeah i agree. it is very easy to fix a vaginal odor problem with yogurt literally. but i never understood why yogurt does nothing for the breath. i mean i've been eating all kinds or yogurt and it wasn't until i started on the K12 s. salivarius lozenges from dr. katz that i wake up in the morning an...

yeah when i'm really struggling i drink sprite or coke to refresh my mouth. the acid knocks out a lot of the smell for a period of time.

i was just thinking this as i walked home today. but then i thought what's the good in knowing if you have tmau or not? if anything, i would just feel even more helpless knowing that my condition is more permanent than i previously imagined. tmau can probably only be treated with gene therapy which...

Anyone else here have acid reflux? I've been thinking about what may be the cause of my bb and I think I have the answer. It is my acid reflux. Whenever I take OTC medicines for this it works temporarily but then stops working. I was wondering has anyone with acid reflux tried Nexium? Does it work?...

right now i feel really sad. i watch people that can have normal conversation and i feel really hurt that i can't do the same. i don't have people in my life that can be really objective about my breath, so i just have to assume it's bad. i was talking to someone the other day and couldn't hide my b...

I was just wondering who here makes any adjustments in how they talk or interact with people? Do you just talk to people normally like your breath doesn't smell or do you protect people by not letting you breath project as you talk? I just find people who talk normal and have bb to be very brave. I ...

avoid mouthwashes at all costs. they do something very bad to the bacteria in your mouth. your breath will start to take on a very different smell that can start coming through your nostrils. i've seen it happen not only in my experience but other's i know.

1) what kind of bb is it? is it chronic or does it only occur in the evenings, when your mouth is dry? 2)Also was is the smell? Is it halitosis smell (fecal, fish, mercantile) or is it a poor hygiene/ stale smell? it is highly unlikely that the bad breath was transferred from your husband. it just d...

i'm so dumb cuz i just realized that it's all probably a lie... why didn't they show the "reading" of 85??? they only showed his halitosis reading (like 350 or something). there's something fishy and it's not just that poor man's breath this is so sad.
