Please do

He burns the area just below the "V lingual" where it is assumed we don´t have any taste (wrong). The area was like the central pink area in the picture. When you put a finger on that area, and compare it to the other areas, does it smell any less? Such a shame if this doesn't work :( Was...

I had a tongue surgery (Electrocautery), the doctor burned "V lingual" area. The following days my breath became worse than before, until it returned to my normal bad breath. Oh wow, I didn't know it was being done, was that an ENT doctor? In which country? For what reason did he do it......

Hi, this is just speculation, but shouldn't it be possible to perform surgery on the final 3rd of the tongue (by the base)? The idea would be to make the surface much more even, so that bacteria cannot find a hiding place. Tongue looks something like this in a microscope. Bacteria hide deep down in ...

Please try this, maybe some of you will feel a difference: -Squeeze half a lemon in a little bit of water. -Swallow it quickly, trying to avoid tooth contact. -Do this before bed, and after meals. I guess the idea behind it is that for a small % of us, maybe the BB comes from the stomach after all. ...

Let's get our dosages right here 8) So you took Fluco 3 times a day? When I got it prescribed they said only once a day :-k So, I'm on: Metro (Flagyl) 400mg, 3 times a day (7 days) Fluconazol 200mg, Once a day (14 days) Started Thursday. As you say, what's noticable first is that the breath appears ...

One more thing, the only test that ever came back positive was low blood oxygen level from my Pulmonologist. My oxygen level would drop to 89-91% during test which could have something to do with my asthma.

During what kind of test did it drop to 89-91%..? I'm really interested to know.

This is a good approach: systematic, thorough, logical.

I have one question:

Before you started this regimen, did the glossopalatine arch area smell more than your tongue dorsum (ie when you put a finger back there and compared)?

Aydinmur, if you read this, please answer my question 3 posts above this one. ...ie how would odorous compounds travel from colon to breath?

Thanks in advance!

Which paste and rinse do you use, Phantasist?

I've been scraping for something like 10 years, and it seems the tongue stinks more and faster than ever after a clean. Maybe years of scraping (I've always done it gently) has made the tongue geography more hospitable to bacteria #-o Anyone have a similar experience? My tongue stinks, that's for su...

Hi guys, A while ago i saw a post about a guy who had bad breath for years and after trying everything to get rid of BB, they found out that there was something wrong with his saliva. I can't really remember anymore if there was something wrong with his saliva or his saliva glands. The reason i fou...

(2) Normally, carbohydrates must be completely digested until they come terminal illeum. They dont enter assending colon. If this occurs, (if they enter colon), then, bacteria convert them to acids and volatile molecules. This may cause bad odor in breath (Type 4 halitosis). We detect this with che...

This is what's popularly called SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), ie when the small intestine has abnormally high counts of bacteria, and the small intestinal flora is similar to the colonic flora. Which antibiotic did the German use? I've ordered Rifaximin and will try that, plus probio...

If saliva itself were to contain odourous chemicals from the by-products of digestion (such as occurs in TMAU) then this could be what causes tongues to smell bad, and not the bacterial activity which we're led to believe, that causes the odours. I'm sure this is the case for some of us. I guess th...
