BB sufferer here for the longest time. Currently into Oracare which I thought eliminate my bb for 5 to ten minutes. I guess I was wrong. I gargled twice in a bathroom before coming out to kiss my girl in the mouth and she said "Do you smoke"? I said "no" and never tried to kiss her on the lips again.

what's the brand/generic name? and how many mg?

there's a lot just tell the pharmacist if they have probiotic acidophilus, any brand actually by caplets only, it's 2 billion cultured acidophilus written in the bottle some has 8 billion but i tried 2 caplets, but lessen your sugar intake. i hope it will work also for you. good luck.

I inquired at watson's and they don't have any acidophilus probiotics. Do you buy those online?

[chubbygirl]

^^ i think they have those at healthy options

it's just an over the counter supplement, like those vitamins. try some other store and start 2 caplets with 2 billion each

Hello everyone!

I’m a sufferer too. I’ve had this since I was in high school. I’m 28 now and this condition has been holding back the extrovert in me. People try to sniff (act like they have colds in an attempt to cover their nose) whenever I talk to them or even just sit beside them. It’s really really depressing. I’ve been researching on BB over the internet and I’m so glad to have come across this site/forum. At least we Filipinos get to share our frustrations. Sucks to know that there is no miracle cure for this. I’m currently using Therabreath from Norville (Makati). At first I thought it was working. But then again, the “sniffing” of other people came back. Doesn’t work much for me, plus it’s too expensive to maintain.

I’m also interested to join the support group, please let me know if there is one.

Mga kapatid, labanan naten ang BB, kaya natin to! Hehehe
BTW, taga-Laguna lang ako.

i didnt know bb is a chronic disease that afflicts a lot of people until i came accross this site. I thot I am alone in this world having this disease. I need not elaborate my story anymore because I felt the same that all of you posted here. I dont like to go to work anymore Im tired of finding a cure. Im even scared of trying the options suggested here because it might only frustrate me more if it will not work again. I had gingivitis before but my gums receded after I gave birth to my son without me noticing it. The dentist I regularly visit ( as usual) said there is nothing wrong with my gums and that I only need regular cleaning. but that did not help. no kind of mouthwash helped. so super sad

Hi bb mark, hi brianne. Welcome to the site. I've tried Therabreath too and it doen't work. I think my condition is caused by or made worse by tonsil stones. Anybody here has this? I tried removing them by copying what others in Youtube has done but I cant seem to find where they are in my mouth. I approached a certain Dr. Villanueva (?) months ago at the Manila Doctors Hospital for the possibility of undergoing cryptolysis (I read somewhere in the Internet that he performs the procedure) but he said he did cryptolysis years ago and gave up on it because of reports that the procedure does more damage than good. I said what if a patient would insist undergoing cryptolysis. He said that its not that simple that they (surgeons) are under audit for all operations they perform. He said he could recommend me to someone in St Luke because he thinks cryptolysis is still being done there. But he said I have to undergo 1. dental evaluation by my dentist 2. evaluation by an internist 3. evaluation by an ENT before he can recommend. It was like facing a brickwall.

Anybody here have any suggestion how to minimize or eliminate tonsil stones? Anybody know any surgeon or ENT who does cryptolysis?

@bb dave
one alternative is tonsillectomy. i had this procedure and the stones are gone. sadly it didn't cure my bb

[bb dave]

Thanks dick.karma, makes one think if losing your tonsils and spending all that money is worth the risk.

[bb mark]

Hi guys, what toothpaste and mouthwash are you currently using? Right now I'm into therabreath but it's too expensive to maintain. I'm afraid if i go back to the commercial brands, my bb will get worse. Please share, thank you.
