Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

In terms of dealing with this... I rarely dated and ultimately one cheated and i feel like its the BB. From 2015-2016 i was on an excellent antidepressant, lexapro, which gave me a lot of confidence. Since my BB seems triggered by stress it really helped. Beginning of this year i stopped lexapro, i ...

How accurate is this? And how bad does the smell have to be? Does everyone with BB "pass" this test? I've seen it a lot but haven't attempted to let it dry for that long because it sounds gross and not sure about the validity. Thanks though! Will probably try again If you have type 1 it i...

While you take zinc for best results you need to avoid sugar,diary(all diary(allergic reactions and problems)),and junk foods as much as possible. I have tried zinc supplements, have taken up to 3 lozenges but doesn't seem to help much. Too much zinc is toxic as well. It seems like it helps those w...

Hey all. I posted on this site 3 years ago and haven't posted since then. Just wanted to vent and share my journey within those three years. In my previous posts I was still in high school and just recently graduated. Yay! I honestly never thought I would get to that point without having a major br...

Get a teaspoon and scrape it on your tongue. Smell the fluid that comes off, sometimes it will smell neutral. But sometimes it will smell straight away. Let it dry for 30 minutes to an hour and smell it again. If it’s neutral you have halitophobia, I hope this is what you have. If it smells, you ha...

I can't smell myself most of the time but I get reaction every day. I got direct comments about my BB by only 2 people in my Life, my mom and from a guy sitting next to me in the class probably 15 years ago. This Is so frustration. I cannot even smell my morning breath. I think some of us are givin...

I’ve never had anyone directly say I have bad breath but I think it’s safe to assume it’s true because of how strangers react with their body language or indirect comments. Like the other comments my mom swears it’s not true. I can’t always smell my breath but I can just feel if it smells. I can sm...

Hello pepper It is true that strangers can say to us that we have bb. Because they are frank. Unlike our relatives, they just dont want to hurt our feelings. My mother is also the same. Whenever i ask her, she says she doesnt smell anything. But the people around me knows i have bb. A cud even say,...

A doctor wouldn't lie about your breath if you asked them. If every single person you ask denies smelling anything, then you have halitophobia. These reactions people give you, is it mainly nose rubs? That's what most people with halitophoboia/imaginary bad breath sees. Hi dead, While people do den...

I am having the hardest time convincing my mom just how bad my BB is. I think she can't smell it because we are both at home every day, and my BB probably fills the house. She probably gets used to it just like I do. It seems like 95+% of people can smell my BB even from far away. However, I've aske...

Same for me. Took 25 billion CFU and bb got unbearable. It was mostly acidophilus in the pills. So now I really am not sure what to do...

Hi UKJR, Thanks for sharing your experience! I do have sinus issues but I am not sure if your cure will work for me. See, I don't have PND or tonsil issues. My tonsils feel very smooth and clean, as is my general mouth area despite the bad taste. My dentists always say everything looks good :) My qu...

Hey, honestly at this point if I can take something every day and it makes me smell normal, I'll be happy. I'll give it a go, thanks. It does sound like your digestion is causing the issue then. Have you got reflux or any food intolerances? Might want to check that out

Hi Lzo, Thanks for sharing. I've been doing oil pulling but it hasn't really worked so far. How long till you saw results? I'm not sure if my bb is oral-related.

I've sent you a PM!
