Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I have been browsing this site for a couple of months now and figured I would share my story. I didn't really suffer with bad breath all that much growing up. i remember having trouble with constipation until the age of 5 and I can also remember at the age of 7 or 8 occasionally smelling an odor fr...

My known causes of bb: Tonsil stones Infected tonsils Bacteria stuck under wisdom teeth 4 cavities Root canal I just got Root Canal surgery for severe tooth decay and infection. It seems my tonsils have gone back to "normal" (they were infected). I think it is because of the Root Canal. It...

A few years ago I was prescribed a 1 week course of metronidazole by my doctor for this bad breath issue. To my surprise, it actually worked while I was on it, but the bb came back a few days later. I told my doctor and she gave my a 2 week course, but it also came back afterwards. The bb was total...

I'm 24. My bad breath started when i was 13. A classmate just told me that my breath stinks. But years before that my breath was still fresh because im the one who bullies people and i was so friendly back then. Today my job is a public speaker and i engage on public speaking jobs. But hey, i have ...

Not saying you are lying!

In many cases, it is 100% evident we have bb.

People blatantly tell us, or we have tonsil stones, or other causes.

For how many causes of bad breath there are you would think everyone would have it, yet it is still very uncommon.

If I put my tongue all the way to the left side of my jaw and breathe out hard, sometimes I can feel/smell something weird. It doesn't happen if I move my tongue to the right or any other position. I don't have someone reliable to tell me if the smell is more potent to them. I had a tonsillectomy l...

How bad is your BO? Can it be controlled by antiperspirant? Mine only goes out of control when I'm extremely nervous, which only happens once in a blue moon. Otherwise, it's not that bad (I guess). Would like to get tested for TMAU anyway, just not sure which hospital offer the test. FYI, Kelp+Zinc...

I must admit growing up I always thought bad breath was just lack of oral hygiene.

Thank you very much for taking the time to update us. Very happy for you. I read through some of your posts. You mentioned water fasting - I just completed 2 weeks just like you did! It helped, but the bb is back. I am getting a tonsillectomy in 1 month. Thanks again for sharing your story. :) Good...

What's the latest. How did the water fast go? How did you break the fast? What's the breath like now? It went fine. There were some very big pros and some cons. I broke it with watermelon, strawberries and grapes for 2 days. Supposed to do 1 or 2 weeks of fruit/veggies. Eating fruit I didn't gain w...

There is a post about chlorine mouthwash which has is helpful to many here. My question is would it be safe to use 30:1 ration bleach solution (with water) to rinse/flush the nasal cavity?

It already disappeared a long time ago. Ever since I began taking zinc+kelp. However, we'll see the long term effects of this water fast.

Get off this fake cure thread and checkout the 2 proven cures I just posted. Water fasting has significantly improved my bb. When there is no food for bacteria to eat, they disappear. My tonsils used to smell 24/7 and now they don't smell AT ALL. I used to get sinus bb and now it's gone. My tongue ...
