Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I've read that Thornwalt's Cysts are detected in only 4% of those autopsied, i.e. a small percentage. Yes, this 4% figure could be discouraging but I believe it was obtained from the general population. It would be interesting to know what percentage of people with (non dental related) halitosis ha...

9 years, Thank you for the helpful post. Congratulations on solving your BB issue. Forgive me if the following has already been suggested: Has your surgeon developed a list of colleagues who are 1) aware of the relationship of Thornwaldt's Cyst(s) and halitosis, 2) can properly diagnose the conditio...

Yes, the liquid form is a good substitute.

Searching, ...Have you have tried removing gluten? Wheat seems to set off my breath like no other. I know celiacs don't always have bad breath, but every body reacts differently. Hi mindyb, Perhaps there is a connection with celiac disease and BB. The link seen here , from the University of Chicago...

I cannot detect odor in saliva nor mucus.

I resort to the low-pH treatment when I feel a biofilm accumulation on teeth that brushing with ordinary toothpaste, cannot fully remove.

of injested Bismuth and the diet you've described, which method would you say works best for you overall? Taking bismuth orally, i.e. either swallowing whole, or chewing then swallowing, works best, for me, to limit BB. However, I believe the root cause of my BB comes from excessive carbohydrates i...

What to do when you are allergic to acetylsalicylic acid ? You can search for orally-ingested bismuth available in different forms. As it moves through the digestive tract, bismuth medication, i.e. subsalicylate form (Pepto-Bismol™) taken for stomach upset, or subgallate form (Devrom™) taken for od...

This cuts my breath where I get little to no reactions. Been doing it for 3 solid months. On a day Where I don't use aspirin topically in the mouth, and a chewable bismuth --My mouth is disgusting and reactions are obvious. Searching, have you continued as well, any new ideas or methods to balance ...

do you ever get hypoglycemic? Do you get lots of wind and bloating and/or have an abnormally distended abdomen (for someone who is skinny I mean)? Do you have excessive levels of PND? Thus far I have not experienced hypoglycemia, i.e. I have not experienced low, blood-sugar levels. In the past, whe...

What were your eating habits growing up as a child? teenage years? just your past life in general My eating habits, throughout most of my past, were heavy on processed carbohydrates, i.e. pasta, bread, cookies, candy, sweetened soft drinks, then protein, with vegetables being the least eaten. I’ve ...

My BB has disappeared; and, has not returned during this recent period of a nearly carbohydrate-free diet. I’ve achieved my targeted weight loss. This result indicates that much, or all, of my BB history has been due to excess, carbohydrate consumption. By knowing the cause-and-effect relationship b...

All, I have questions for the readers regarding a point asked in this 2008 thread. For those with a slim body type, who consume excess calories versus what is metabolically needed, yet fail to gain weight: what happens to the extra nutrients? Could it be feeding a consortium of microorganisms in the...

For the last month, as a test, I have been very disciplined in limiting, nearly to zero, my intake of simple and complex carbohydrates, i.e. no sucrose (table sugar), processed grains, i.e. bread, pasta, pastries, nor starch, i.e. potatoes, rice, corn, etc. I have stopped the use of orally-ingested ...

What is VSCs? VSC's are volatile sulfur compounds, e.g. hydrogen sulfide, dimethyl sulfide, methyl mercaptan. These are foul smelling compounds that readily evaporate as one exhales. VSCs can cause the breath to be bad if the VSCs are sufficient in concentration, i.e. detectable by the human nose. ...

All, A 2009 thread entitled Bismuth manages my bb is seen here . To clarify: In the past I have used chewable bismuth subsalicylate to manage bb as an antimicrobial agent and to absorb VSCs in my mouth. More recently I have been using tablets of bismuth subsalicylate, swallowed whole, to manage bb a...
