Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

"Some of the gas produced by the bacteria can, in some individuals..............rise the direct way via stomach and esophagus."

The ONLY way this can happen is when you burp. Someone studying medicine should be perfectly aware of that...

I thought I was the only one having trouble with this site, it`s pretty annoying...

Mindyb, it`s obvious u have reflux and I can only pray that once u finish the ppi you`ve been prescribed, ur bb will go away... But it is not very likely to happen. Probably the erosions will heal and the acid reflux will turn to a silent one but you will still have halitosis. Are u planning to have...

wnaysha,

I have never had problem with bo, thank God! If u haven`t been tested for hp, do not postpone it, that test is a must!

It sure yes...filled with all types of different information. so much information that you don't know what to believe or what to follow. i've read a lot of posts and done a lot of research, but i was looking to have some info laid out in front of me by posting this question anew. Please don't sit th...

Bbforyears,

good luck with the Nissen, do not let them make the wrap too tight!
Keep us posted! Wish u all the best..

Wnaysha,

the surgery helped reduce bb, but it is not gone especially when I eat anything.

This forum is so full of information of all kinds, I wonder why newcomers usually don`t bother to do some reading and find some answers for themselves....

Eliott,

your posts are as interesting and useful as always, tnx. Just as bbforyears I am positive u have reflux, since LES is loose according to two docs. And it takes little acid to have bb..
I hope further tests will reveal smth. Good luck!

Well done, wnaysha!

I just hope your doctor doesn`t give up too soon, because I am pretty sure these tests will not give the answers.

Eliott,

forgive me if u have mentioned it yet, but what was the case with your LES, was it loose or vice versa?

Bbforyears, glad to know I`ve been helpful somehow...What about your Nissen plans?

This is as probable as bb being caused by liver disfunction or kidney failure.

bbforyears,

thanx for the warm welcome...its nice to have s.o. like u here..
I am surprised that being on 120 mg daily of PPI u have any peristalsis at all!
u are right wanting to have a surgery to stop reflux, but u have to be absolutely sure about everything
do keep us posted, pls

Hi Elgrizzle, I tested positive to H pylori and have just recently finished the antibiotic treatment and have moved on to the antacids. I also have room clearing stench from my nose and mouth and the antibiotics did nothing to help it. My BB is worse than ever and i also have bad reflux. I was deva...

eliott, I am truly interested in ur efforts and the results u will get. I completely agree that u have to bring up a specific problem infront of the doctor and discuss the accompanying symptoms instead of telling him "I have bb".. bbforyears, are u sure ppis affect the gastric emptying? I ...
