Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

sorry but THAT is innacurate. Certain yogurts may contain a small amount of lactase (the enzyme required to digest lactose, which is a sugar) but this has no bearing on what happens with proteins. you can dose up on all the probiotics in the world, as many of us have done, but the simple fact is: i...

probiotic yoghurt contains a ton of good bacteria but it's got a ton of protein too!! doh!! Lay off all the dairy products people!!!! it's an order! This just isn't accurate. Lactose intolerance can cause horrific breath, but the people who this is true for will know it right away after consuming t...

Eric, I have a fecal breath. So far my doc does not know what is really causing the gastritis. My gastritis has not been fixed yet. Tests are being done and hopefully one of these days the cause will be found. Fecal breath is caused by bacteria either in the mouth or the intestines (ie, farting). M...

For christs sake, there is a difference between someone casually, randomly touching their nose and someone placing their finger under their nose and sneering. And when you start to notice the latter tens of times each day whenever you go to talk, you realize pretty damn quick that either your breat...

As someone who is now struggling to return a sense of normalcy to his life after this long, torturous battle with bad breath, I can tell you (fortunately) that confidence in your breath will return almost as quickly as it took to destroy it. As Busted noted, people's lack of reactions makes you not ...

Nasal irrigation never helped, no, though at the time I falsely believed it made a slight difference. Even nasal irrigation with solution containing dissolved antibiotic didn't help. In my view nasal irrigation should only help the odor if the cause of your bad breath is truly nasal in origin (that ...

Two thumbs up in total agreement with you here, thanatos... In my case a close relative of mine who I confided in long-term about my problem once told me to just "forget it" and to "give up" and "live normally". It's like, are you ****ing kidding me? I would have loved ...

Greetings Eric, This situation is like being stuck between a rock and a hard place, it's like damned if you do, damned if you don't. Just from my experience at work and among people I know the less brutal option for you is to pretend you don't know you have bad breath though you do. Most people try ...

Greetings Rocky, Knowing what I do now, after having my wisdom teeth extracted, if it is a persistent bad breath (ie, you can have episodes of it at any time of the day, without any control over it) that you developed slowly as you grew older I would look into your wisdom teeth as prime suspect give...

-Seems to react to foods/drinks So you've given up on all those foods and it still hasn't helped, huh? Before I had my wisdom teeth out one of the oddest features of my bad breath is that it would sometimes annoy people I was eating with as I was eating, and it never needed to be any known bad brea...

What about Mastic Gum and killing H pylori. I found this on the internet. Supposed to be a cure for bb? Anyone hear of it? Heliobacter pylori infection is a bacterial infection of the stomach lining that causes ulcers. Whether it can also contribute to bad breath or not, it is a serious bacterial i...

Well, i remember someone who took Diflucan and it cured his bb. I don't think you can discard candida as a possible cause of bb. I'd be willing to bet the details of his or her story aren't so badda-bing badda-boom, if there's even a true correlation. Besides, this would be a case of acute halitosi...

i saw the symptoms and i seem to fit alot o them, expecially the BB. just wondering whether anyone knew more about this and any treatments/medicines for it. I'd mostly disagree with you there. Candida albicans is natural yeast found everywhere, including our mouths. Everybody has it, including peop...

I have mixed emotions about your suggestion. I do envy all the people out there who developed bad breath after they were in long-term relationships. Couples like that are prone to tolerating this kind of thing, so for them it's much easier. But it's much tougher to begin a relationship with bad brea...

I now have eight, the first and second on both sides of each row. I had all twelve before the extraction.
