Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

We are also afraid that the meter will reach a number which the meter cannot handle and explode. Hahahaha, nice one Busted. Seriously like I need some ridiculous machine re-enforcing my paranoia. The only value I could see from using one of these would be to gauge how quickly your breath turns to s...

I hate to say it, but I think brushing your throat area will be of little help. The bad bacteria overgrowth is still hiding in places you can't reach and will repopulate brushed areas within the hour.

I think my BB has been pretty bad lately due to reckless diet. Here are some of the not so ambiguous reactions I get working on the floor of a Best Buy: Strange/confused stares Nose touching Putting finger under nostril so as to block smell Stepping to the side of me (as opposed to face-to-face) a f...

Personally I think it might be the starch they put on it. I think after you're done eating the pasta the starch sticks in your mouth/esophagus and the BB bacteria populations there go to work.

Yes, yes, and yes.
Maybe they will find its a fungal overgrowth or H. Pylori and you could be treated and cured.
Please stress to your GP how difficult BB makes your life.

You could potentially be offering us some very valuable information. Can you please be more specific about how long it took for your BB to resolve after moving (in terms of days/weeks/ or months) and if there was any onset of allergies that brought on your BB after the 1.5 year period? Also how were...

There's something physically wrong with our oral flora/ metabolic processes. We will not be helped until this condition is recognized as the disease that it is. If this just had a name and a little public exposure, like maybe being featured in Time magazine, we would be on the right track. If I ever...

From what I've read on the forums, a decent amount of us, including myself, get strong BB after eating pasta.
Nobody really knows why

I think if I ever get permanently cured, or at least figure out a way to control it for hours at a time, I'm going to never stop talking to people. I will be outgoing again, like I used to be.

My tonsil stones kind of just disappeared by themselves after a couple of days. I think when I get small infections they get those white, pus-filled areas in them until my body fights its off. But its weird its like my tonsils are always sorta inflamed even if there are not stones.

I think when bb is caused by acid reflux, the amount of the food is important. When I eat less, especially in the evening, my bb is reduced slightly.. I agree with this. I've noticed that when I eat too much I will frequently be burping up acid for the next few hours. I think this contributes to th...

Many people on this board have your same situation. My mom claims to not be able to smell me, same with my close friends. They tell me its in my head. Then I go to work/ to a party/ anywhere in public and I get reactions and comments. There is a mental condition called 'halitophobia' which some peop...

Mines bad after I eat many types of foods, and seems to stay bad through the next day sometimes. Do a lot of you others have a single BB-inducing meal stay on your breath for long? I think since it takes our bodies a day to process whats inside of us, it might be more of a metabolic issue for some o...

You make some pretty good points. Its like you have to build a shell to the reactions you know are coming anyway and expect them. I would rather go to a party and be nice and try to talk and joke with everyone, even with bad breath, so as to make a positive impression. In people's individual minds t...

You couldn't technically get 'tonsil stones' without having tonsils... so maybe there really is some kind of hard-to-reach area where chunks of food are getting stuck and rotting. Kind of like Zenker's diverticulum. Makes me want to request a barium swallow test, but they would probably just think I...
