I am in the same boat as thissux. I have the bad nasal odor and people always cover up their nose or make a face from quite a distance away. I also don't have health insurance, or a job. I work with my dad, but he doesn't have money so he can't really pay me and I feel bad asking for money for doctor visits. Especially since my parents deny my problem even exists.
Nasal odor sucks, cant go anywhere without getting a reaction.

When I first started omeprazole the acid reflux went away, but I don't know if my nasal odor went away. I think some people had some reactions, but at that time I wasn't paying close attention. Now of course my acid reflux is back, and I don't want to take another proton pump inhibitor. These drugs are designed to make you dependent on them. Once you stop taking them the acid reflux will come back. It is not good to take these drugs for long term.
Maybe it is acid reflux, but my problem literally happened over night. Is it possible that due to high level of body fatigue and stress on the body can cause it to get that bad in 1 night?

It is called LINX System and apparently was developed in the US. It sounds more appealing to me than the fundo op.
I also get the acid in my sinus and left ear. That sounds like LPR reflux rather than typical GERD.
I am scared today as I am going into a treatment center tomorrow for one month and have to be around alot of people. I am taking face masks but do not know how well they may help. Perhaps reduce the odor. This is hard to deal with and I am very nervous. I pray every day. I too worked out with weights for twenty years, don't know if I did any damage in my stomach but this room filling breath came on suddenly last year. ENT said LPR reflux but I no longer have a job or insurance. It is very stressful. I think most room fillers and many others have some form of GERD or LPR.
@thissux I read up on it it does seem to be better than fundo op. Will see what the doctor says. Lifting weights might have done damage to your stomach, I think thats what caused my problem. Hope one day you will be able to get it checked out. Dont stop praying and keep having faith. When you go to that place bring a book it might help reduce the nervousness. Recently I started saying to my self whats the worst can happen.Stay strong and positive.

@stulla - Yea its weird how it happened for me in 1 night. Mine has happened about 3 months ago and my smell hasn't gone away since. First I had a bad taste and smell in the back of my throat, but now I can't really taste or smell anything from there. People can smell me when I breathe through my nose. So when I just stand there I can see people start rubbing there nose and have a slight look of disgust on their face.
I think my smell comes from inside my body. So it could be the acid reflux and the weakened muscle that allows the acid to go up my esophagus. I would still need to get an endoscopy to check my insides.

Also try hydrochloric acid capsules, they contain stomach acid and you just take them
I saw in the last 2 days that I eat some kind of fruit that I though it was an orange, had aorange peel, but inside it tasted like lemon
So I used that and the acid reflux just went away!
Now I stopped for a day and I can feel that taste coming back! TAste of minor acid, burning, not strong but minor
Also if I travel long time and I dont sleep and lie down, the bad breath seems to improve and my pains in chest kind of decrease
Seems like when you lie down the acid just flows everywhere and reaches your sinuses.
Dont know what to do anymore, really
Just you can take PPI (its mechanism is to prevent the production of HCL at all through inhibiting the gastric juice bumps which are cells in the stomach responsible for secreting the suitable amount of digestive acids according to signals from another receptor cells detect the contents of the coming food and its need to acids to be digested like proteins) so, if the PPI stopped your reflux it means that "more acid production = more reflux symptoms" .Jimi wrote:usually the reason for reflux is lack of stomach acid
You are right but it is not means that increasing gastric acids leads to decreasing reflux because the HCL is HIGHER in acidity more than orange and lemon (HCL lower ph than lemon and orange) so, when you take high ph acidic juices this raise the very low ph of the HCL and decreases its harmful effects on mucus membranes. so there is some acidic fruit have alkaline effect in our bodies like lemonJimi wrote:I saw in the last 2 days that I eat some kind of fruit that I though it was an orange, had aorange peel, but inside it tasted like lemon
So I used that and the acid reflux just went away!
let me assume that you have 100 ml of HCL with ph = 1 and you will drink 200 ml of lemon juice with ph = 5.5 then you will have 300 ml of acidic juice in your stomach with total ph = 4 like than [(100ml *1+100ml*5.5+100ml*5.5)/300ml = 4]
I hope you got it!
It's not matter if the gastric acids reach to your sinus or not, the harmful effect comes from the sensitivity to acid's smell (the steam caused by stomach acids) and yes when you sleep with your head in the level of body it gets the post nasal space in the level of the upper relaxed sphincter of the esophagus and increase the chance of acidic steam direct effect in your sinus tissues!Jimi wrote:Seems like when you lie down the acid just flows everywhere and reaches your sinuses.
Anyone had any success like this? Help appreciated Jimi!
Really pay attention to the warm burning sensation you get when you've reached the maximum dose. I never felt it - wasn't taking enough. One day, I threw all caution to the wind and upped the dosage to 6 caps with each meal full meal.
Bing - success. My stomach acid production was so low. A doctor once warned me about mistaking too little for too much stomach acid. She is the one that clued me in on Betaine capsules. She said that once you get hooked on the antacids/meds, it goes downhill from there. Too bad I didn't really figure it all out until many (suffering filled) years later.
Thank goodness I didn't get hooked on meds. I have a friend that is - and I've never seen such a hot mess in all my life. He's always rubbing his tummy, belching, and passing gas - and I think it got much worse when he started taking a few of his friends reflux prescription meds. I did not have the traditional reflux symtoms - so I never got hooked on meds.
I could go on and on about this - because I see so many people using so many things - and many seem to tie into inadequate stomach acid production. I don't think that it is the solution for everyone, obviously.
Watch out for that Keifer if it is milk based.
Good luck friend.
