Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hello Jimi, You said you checked your stomach some years ago. I think it's time for another check up, especially since you said you get relief from sleeping upright and that your BB has been getting worse lately. Those were my symptoms exactly. BB due to gastritis can be horrific and can give you un...

Also, those the notice relief from taking bismuth compounds like pepto bismol should definitely check for H pylori as there is strong evidence that bismuth inhibits the activity of H pylori.

Hello Jimi, I think your BB comes from your stomach. If you have BB immediately after brushing and have been cleared by an ENT for nose or throat infections then you should definitely get your stomach checked. I have gastritis which I was told was caused by painkillers and was given acid blockers. T...

OK. After trying VSL#3 at one packet a day I can officially report that it does nothing for halitosis. Primal defense worked moderately well for me but not this formulation. Makes me think that it might be because VSL #3 does not contain L-Salivarius. The reason I don't take primal defense anymore i...

Good hypothesis oneday. I believe that the hormonal flux in the body during puberty might make one susceptible to conditions like candida. Since I have noticed marked improvement with taking a few billion good bacteria in the past I am thinking that flooding my body with 100's of billions should eff...

stridinglady,

Here is the link. http://www.diagnose-me.com/ It's $25 and be warned that you might read stuff that might disturb you. However it's a comprehensive diagnostic tool and you can discuss the results with your doctor.

Since I know that I have experienced relief with primal defense and each dose had some 40 billion live bacteria, I have ordered VSL#3 which claims to have 450 billion live bacteria per dose. I should have it in a couple of weeks as a friend is bringing them to me from the USA. I am very eager to try...

Hi all, I am glad there is this forum as all of you understand how I feel. I have been suffering from bb for 20 yrs, since i was a teenager! My mom used to suffer from bb too but she doesn't seem to now that she is in her 60s. That's interesting. Seems to reinforce my belief that what plagues me is...

sweets, how long have you used L-salivarius mouthwash? I saw great results almost immediately but after 3 weeks or so it wasn't working anymore. Are you using an internal probiotic at the same time?

I tried primal defense before and it helped. Now I am on Jarrow. Let's see if it helps.

I can uncross my fingers now. It DOES NOT work. It gave me tonsil stones which I never had before

Bleah! I am sick of these so called cures!

Live in Norway but am not a native.

From memory as I don't have access to a bottle right now:

chlorhexidine diacetate, zinc acetate, alcohol, menthol, sorbitol

It's working so far. Keeping fingers and toes crossed :p

It worked for about 3 days and then gave me worse breath than before. I could smell it myself. It was awful. It seems to work for some though so don't lose hope. We all are different despite having chronic halitosis. CH is like a viral illness, many strains exist and no two may have the same one. Ju...

apples give me unbelievably bad breath. I think we all have a metabolism disorder that makes us break down food differently from normal people. Is it due to us having a different bacterial culture in our mouths and guts? I have no clue. Tea takes away my bad breath and then makes it worse after abou...
