Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

There`s an episode in "The doctors" that showed a doctor using a pill that contains a camera to diagnose difficult digestion problems of his patients. He allows his patients to swallow the camera pill & record what happens during digestion. I think that is a lot better than any endosco...

This is great Baguio.

I`m interested in having tested. Should I send them a DNA or blood sample? I`m from southeast asia.
How much does it cost?
Thanks.

I am not sure I understand amines, is there anyone that could explain it and how it could relate to bad breath. Trimethylamine is the most common amine to cause odor(TMAU) & I think it`s also the smelliest.It`s a chemical compound produced by bad bacterias in the gut which cannot be oxidized if...

I`ve been drinking yakult for 1 year then 2 months ago I switched to advanced multi billion dophilus. I haven`t had any success yet but I talked to a guy who cured his 30 footer bb after 4 years of taking probiotics. I`m making probiotics a staple in my daily regimen & see what happens.

If you haven`t taken an oral chroma test yet then I suggest you should. The 3 most common cause(volatile sulfur compounds) of bb will be diagnosed properly. Don`t take a halimeter test cuz` its got a lot of flaws & should be phased out. If you pass the test then have your amines tested next as t...

I also find it difficult to choose the right foods/diet especially because I don`t know the specific source of my bb. Beef , cooked fish , vinegar, all types of spices, tomato, banana, oranges, apples makes my breath worse. There are many other food that makes mine worse so I`m also running out of o...

jc, have you had any blood tests? When was the last time you drank alcohol?

I took a bloodtest 5 years ago when my bb was at its strongest, My liver sgpt levels, etc turned out fine.

The last time I drank was in 2006.

I just had one, and the day before all I ate was brown rice and oatmeal. I want to say F it, it doesn't work, but I think I'll keep on keeping on. A lot of people say that brown rice makes their breath & bo worse that`s why I stay away from it. Could it be that the vitamin contents of brown ric...

The liver could be indirectly involved in stomach- related bb. If the liver does not produce the proper enzymes that converts certain chemical compounds in the body into odorless compounds then conditions like bb, bo or both arises. If I`m not mistaken, there are 4 enzymes that could be responsible ...

A friend from the TMAU site e- mailed me about experimental treatments for TMAU. I`m not sure at what stage they are in & who`s conducting the experiments but I think they are on the right track. They are experimenting on two things: 1. A drug called PTC124 that is supposed to correct the geneti...

During an interview conducted by Chelsea Handler, she (Chelsea) insinuated that Katy Perry has BO. Katy stopped for a bit then Chelsea changed the subject.

She obviously doesn`t have an idea that her pits emit some odor from time to time.

El Grizzle, I`ve taken erythromycin before as part of the triple theraphy for h. pylori & it didn`t work for PATM.

As long as we don`t know the specific bacteria or candida responsible for this condition then I`m afraid we`re going to keep running around in circles.

People had lost their lives because of this condition so give them the benefit of the doubt. I also have this condition & 10 years ago it never even entered my mind that this is possible. I can also assure you that I don`t have any psychological issues. I`m now at a point that I don`t care anymo...

When my PATM started about 6 years ago I thought I was the only one who have it but it seems the number of people who has it grows every year.

I think PATM is a new condition just like the blood borne halitosis that`s why there`s not much info about them.

Has anyone tried taking rifaximin for their PATM? In the TMAU site I`ve counted 2 people who took it & are now able to successfully control their odor. The method is to blast away all bacterias in the stomach then repopulate it with good ones after the antibiotic treatment. The downside is that ...
