Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I tried a low protein, high alkaline, low acid diet and it made my breath worse. Remember that aydinmur stated that changing what you eat can make your breath worse (in terms of Type 1 sensitivity). I'm really pleased for any of you who think that changing your diet has worked to decrease your BB bu...

I'm going to order those antibiotics and give this mouthwash a try. I REALLY want to find a mouthwash that works. Aydinmur, if you read this post I'd be interested to know what you think about the potential efficacy of mixing this crushed antiobiotic with water and orange juice (as per what's writte...

Has anyone else had success with this?

@ hal, I'm going to buy that exact toothpaste and give it a shot! @ hope, I'm one of those people that can smell my own BB hence how I figured it out. Aydinmur's experiments with various mouthwashes including Retardex showed that they all increased BB by 25% (in VSC terms) with the exception of a zi...

Circumvallate papillae.... they're a normal part of the tongue

I've actually just bought some listerine containing zinc. Isnt quite as effective as the toothpaste containing zinc, probably because toothbrushing forces it through the teeth more effectively. Hal, what you made you retract from your no mouthwash policy? I haven't used mouthwash for 3 months (give...

i am going to schedule for a tonsillectomy and i have a few questions about the tonsils The vast majority of people who have had tonsillectomies do not report any improvement in their breath according to the posts I've read on here. If I were you I'd rethink this operation. Save yourself the time a...

Yep, sadly once bad breath colonises you mouth, sinus or throat it is all but impossible to cure. Nearly all suffers will suffer bb for life. I completely disagree with this. Everyone I've met off this forum including people at the BB and BO Xmas meet up in London have an intermittent problem or on...

I went to the meet up in London on Saturday for people with BB and BO. There were about 12 of us there I think and I can honestly say I did not notice even the faintest hint of BB or BO on anyone. I am really glad I went and will go to future meet ups for sure. However, my conclusion certainly is no...

I agree with Malory and Hooch, stay clear! Your consultation with Philip Stemmer will involve him (1) testing your breath using a halimeter (2) extracting a bit of tissue from your gum and looking at it under a microscope to see what bacteria there are (3) checking your mouth for cavities (4) calcul...

Why do people bother to come on here and post nonsense? Liptooth, if you have no idea about halitosis (which you clearly don't) then there's plenty of useful and informative posts on here to educate you and it's just a shame that there's also a fair share of nonsense, ill informed posts on here too ...

Hold your head up high and the reactions will diminish at least somewhat. The animal inside people that makes them react to your BB is the same animal that will subordinate you further if it senses weakness. Hold your head up high and carry on like a *normal* person.

The vast mjaority of people do not have a problem with their sense of smell. The vast majority of people react to BB and the reactions seem remarkably common across different people - it's ingrained in their genes. When I have bad days, literally everyone I talk to (regardless of culture, race or re...

I don't smoke it but that doesn't mean I can't like the smell of it. I like the smell of pipes but I don't smoke one of them either.

Never. It's a nice smell though, I'd quite like to smell of that!
