10 Long Years
10 years ago, I went from being a carefree, fun, happy person that loved to go out and be around people to a depressed lonesome individual who don't even want to step out the front door.. The less people I have in contact with the better and that is sad.. that is not how life should be...
I remember like it was yesterday.. 10 years ago when I was 22.. I was sitting on the train and I noticed the girl next to me who I just had a small conversation with started putting her hand covering her nose as if she smelled something utterly disgusting.. I figured it can't be me... I take a bath twice a day.. I brush, floss.. I had like 3 cavities due to lots of sweet but they were filled... Then slowly I noticed people covering their noses when I talked at every turn.. give me strange stares.. To the point I don't even have to open my mouth.. I breathe the bad smell and it can reach several feet away, smell up my car..
One thing i noticed is that my breath tends to come and go cause when I went to many doctors and the ents.. they say it's all in my mind.. or it's not bad or maybe you eaten garlic pizza.. usual recommendation is nose spray..I even had the halimeter test and passed.. I went out with my cousin who have not seen in ages and I was afraid she was going to run away.. i told her my problem and she said my breath was fine.. this was 4 years ago.. yet a week later people back to holding their noses when I speak... For a good amount of time I had convinced myself I was imagining all this and it was psychological.. But no, my brother had said yes, I do have bad breath.. So the fact i know it comes and goes have kept me going yearning for a cure. I'm not trying to be shallow but i'm not an ugly girl and when guys come up to me and say I have a beautiful smile.. it makes me feel good and then it ends when I say thank you and they give me the death stare... Here are some facts about me
1. I eat tons of sweet, carbs, fast food you name it
2.My tongue is whitish.. i can't get rid of it and lately it is getting even whiter
3. My ENT said I have the smallest tonsils he ever seen.. Barely anything in there.. tonsil stone here and there but so tiny..
4. Bad breath from nose and mouth.. lately been strong.. can be smelled feet away
5. I don't have diabetes or any disease.. The only thing I have been diagnosis with the past was having low vitamin D and at one point low blood sugar .. I think lately I have low iron cause my hands freeze instantly in the cold
6. Was diagnose with Hpylori last year.. i thought once I got rid of it.. my breath would get better.. Seems like it got even worse
7. I had violent stomach pains as a kid up till last year..My doctor just kept on giving me penicillin .. The pain went away once I got rid of the Hpylori.. so some good news there..
8. I still have my wisdom teeth
9. I CANNOT SMELL MY BREATH AT ALL.. As bad as it is apparently I can't smell a things.. I can't tell if it is there or not
Some people wish for fame or for fortune.. I just wish I an talk to people again.. be in a room full of people again.. that is all ...I don't wish for too much... Anyway, hi everyone and i hope we can be happy again someday

We are in the same boat.MyhopeSomeday25 wrote:Sure, I live in Yonkers NY .. you?. I started fasting a couple of days ago hoping to cleanse my body and mind... I wanted to do it for 14 days but I can't.. I have done 4 days which is good going for 5.. I'm planning on eating healthier and cutting out dairy and high fructose ingredients.. I had violent stomach pains as a kid till last year.. it never crossed my mind... maybe i'm lactose intolerant ... But we willl see.. I don't want to give up my hopes too much..
I pretty much keep my mouth shut as much as I can around my coworkers. When they ask me a question, I just nod if I can... I know I look weird and stressed out but at this point that's all I can manage to avoid much embarrassment.
I tried fasting for 2 days before and on the second day I couldn't smell a thing! My bad breath disappeared. Unfortunately I couldn't do it for more than 2 days.. When I got back to eating my BB came back. how about you? Do you notice any change in your breath?
Now, I eliminated dairy, gluten and sugar from my diet.. and I'm taking wild oregano oil w/coconut oil daily.
San Diego ca.. Nice,let me know how it all goes.iv noticed the same last year that I would have stomachaches throughout the day also.i Cut out dairy also ,reduced my red meat intake and rarely drink anything but water . It cured my stomachaches and I no longer have a thick coat of white on my tongue but that's about it.MyhopeSomeday25 wrote:Sure, I live in Yonkers NY .. you?.

badexhale .. So nice to meet you too. I'm hoping this change in what I eat changes things.. In the past when I gotten big from depressed eating.. I went on nutrisystem and I do remember at the time not getting much of any looks.. I even sat coach on a plan to Vegas back in 2010 and no looks... yep it has dairy in nutrisystem but lots and lots of fiber in there .. I read lots of fiber intake can make a difference .. i know.. It's horrible to get bad stomach aches.. i'm pretty sure it's the dairy but I want to be sure.. I'm hoping my next doctor visit they give me a test.. I have white tongue... i hate it lol .. I never really noticed the white tongue till last year.. We are going to keep our heads up .. I'm hoping there is a light at the end of the tunnel .. Everyday I say.. there must be a reason why we in these shoes and once we find it.. we got it..

I had braces in my mid twenties and once they came off in 2005, I started having bad breath, PND, white tongue and discovered that I had tonsil stones. I saw my ENT and he said the only way to resolve this problem was a tonsillectomy. I had the operation performed within weeks of finding out and went through the 10 days of excruciating pain, which is what it takes to recover from this surgery as an adult. A month or so after the surgery the tonsil stones were gone, but my wife told me that the halitosis was still there. I was devastated. I went back to the ENT but he had no answers. Since then, I've tried everything from diet, Therabreath, nasal sprays, nasal steroids, H. Pylori test is clear, tongue scrapers, mouth washes, multiple ENTs, you name it and I've done it. Needless to say, it was hard to live like this. I had almost accepted that I would have halitosis for life, but I'm not the type to give up so in 2014, with a renewed fervor to find myself a cure to this miserable state, I finally did. It is the ****ing "Adenoids". In 2005, I had even asked my original ENT if I should have them out and he said no. He had said they shrink down to almost nothing as an adult and he didn't see any inflammation in them. It's complete bullshit and he was dead wrong. The inflammation and tonsil stone smelling, nasty bacteria infested tissue is under the adenoids. They are a type of tonsil too (pharyngeal tonsils) and have their own tiny tonsil stones that are undetectable without a CT and have no clinical symptoms. I found another new ENT and he was willing to remove them for me. The surgery and recovery was painless. After the surgery, my cauterized adenoids crusted off and my bad breath was gone, just like that. Bottom line, if you have halitosis and any kind of tonsil stones, insist on getting your tonsils and adenoids removed. If your ENT won't do it, then tell him to ***k off and find one that will. It saved my life!
If you want to talk or have a question for me, feel free to reach out.
Here are the links that pointed me in the direction of my cure. But the decision to have the 2nd surgery was mine alone and done on faith because I had a sense that the smell, white tongue, and PND were coming from the adenoid region.

I don't think it's a good idea to break a 5-day fast with toast/egg. The re-feeding process is as important as the fast itself. You need to take it slow and start with a fruit like watermelon (has a lot of water) or something equivalent, and eat small portions throughout the day.MyhopeSomeday25 wrote:Trunks99 .. Hey, how are ya... The best thing about winter is I use my scarf to cover my face lol.. Yes, even in the grocery store.. any store.. I know people look at me nuts in the store but I have my scarf completely covering my mouth and nose.. hoping no one smells a thing... I fast now for 5 days.. I ended it this morning with a whole wheat toast, egg (which I was shock to find out it's not dairy lol) and lactose free cheese... I was about to pass out..If the bad breath went away after fasting for you.. I think it could be what you are eating.. There is hope there. The thing for me is I never have been able to smell my own breath.. so I can't say if it worked.. and in those 5 days I went out once.. I had an opportunity on Friday when I went to the store but I just was not ready for nasty looks and had the scarf over my face.. .. this really did a number on my mental health.. Good luck on this change in diet too .. I can't wait to see if it makes a difference and let me know if there is a difference. . I go out Monday and the looks or non looks will determine if its there or lessen .. I hope
The diet thing is going to take a while but hopefully it works. My bad breath started when I was 15-16 yo and just like you I was eating a lot of crap (tons of sweet). And it's gotten worse over time, I believe. I don't think I can fill a room or maybe I'm just not aware of it....
Anyway, best of luck! Keep us updated.

Trunks99 .. speaking of watermelons.. I have been eating that all week.. I bought 3 packs pre-cut.. they are delicious.. Fasting almost knocked me out.. it was more strenuous than I can ever imagine.. My body was aching.. I was hungry.. had headaches, dizzy.. it was bad.. I realize, pre fasting is just as important too.. I should had ate more better before fasting as it suppose to make the fast process easier... Thanks trunk.. every now and then I post if I see a difference in people's reactions.. I go to the dentist tomorrow.. I actually looking forward to it
