It would be good if my problem is SIBO because then my situation could improve drastically with my new raw diet. Just haven't started yet because I still did not receive my near $500 blender. Hopefully with the diet and flooding my system with probiotics and chlorophyll foods, I can colonize my gut and mouth with better bacteria.

Just be patient man coz having SIBO for grown-ups like us may take months before the natural treatment works.

It is quite difficult to come to a conclusion given the age variety of onset...

I am glad I met you guys here. Growing up with H, I thought I was the one and only person in the world suffering from this malady. This sucks but life goes on.

I'm not really sure when it was. I'm still a newb compared to you guys, as I've only been totally aware of my BB for not quite 1 year.

Thinking about it after realizing it, it seems that this must have developed in the past 2 or 3 years. I don't believe I had a problem with it in highschool.. At least I can't remember any reactions or comments that far back.. Though sometimes I think the 2 years of 'allergy shots' may have planted the seed.

Anyway, living with a girlfriend for a couple years out of highschool, I can remember some comments here and there. I never thought anything of it at the time, but I'm sure there was some BB sometimes.. It's difficult though.. my BB from that time may have been strongly related to tonsil stones (i used to cough them up constantly in enormous chunks) while today I've got other problems.

Let's see. I guess I first noticed a problem while taking anti depressents early last year. I only took them for about 2 months, but I became less anxious, and started talking to people more... This should have been a good thing.. But with all the tlaking, I started seeing reactions.. It eventually occurred to me that I might have a problem.

I first contributed it to the medication.. Prayed that it was just the dry mouth that the drugs were causing .. I ended up getting off the meds, because no amount of medication could make me feel good about chronic halitosis.

I came to this site around that time and believed it was an oral issue.. My tonsils are extremely cryptic, so I thought it was them that was causing the problems... I still think they are a big contributer, but I've since become aware of a rotting eggs smell.. This egg smell has now elevated into a strong sewer smell... What's worse, even my excrement has taken a form of this horrible egg/sewer scent..

It really amazes me how a few bowls of cereal and possibly a sliced turkey sandwich can create the most phenominally outrageous odor in the bathroom..

.. I really fear that this is just the beginning.. Within just a year, it's gone from noticing reactions, to smelling shit air from my own nostrils... I really don't want to know what will become of this..

Honestly, I'd like to get the tonsils out of the way, even though they've taken a backseat to what seems to be a digestive/intestinal issue.. If I can ever arrange the money for tonsil surgery and get those removed, I'll probably move on to that damn yogurt.. Yeh.. The ****ing yogurt is my last hope right now

your story about how bb escalated untill become a fart smell that comes out of your nostrail is kind of like mine

Pure tma is horrible - in low concentrations garbage like(whatever that means), then fishlike, but I smelled a strong poisonous kerosine like smell, and not only smell. Its a dense gas that I exhaled. Like when you eat onions or something. The strange thing was that I smelled and sensed the dense gas just for a short whiff, then it was gone. My sensory blockade works very well...

I think I had this problem since I was just a kid. I heard other kids complaining about it, but for some it wasn't really a problem. I mean all kids care about is playing and having fun. It all really start for me when I got into puberty. I think at school pretty much everyone was complaining about it. I never thought it was that bad, but then I saw ppl reacting to it ffrom like 3 to 5 meters. Chewing gum did not help. I knew that everything was going to suck that day and my life was about to change forever. At first my classmates were always like "why are you suddenly so quiet". I could not help it, but I could not bring myself to say another word when someone was standing within a range of 5 meters. I tried to keep my head up and searched the internet for some help. I found all those mouthproducts of course which I tried. I was very happy when I tried it, cause I thought I wouldn't have bb anymore. But damn, nothin changed. Everybody hates me now, either because they think I did nothin to try to stop my bb problem or because I offended them in a way, because I did not want the person to find out about my bb problem. There's nothin I can do about it.
