I will give the Vitamin C a try. 1000g chewable sugar-free 4 times per day.

I just want to remind people that's it's miligram (mg), not gram (g) that we're been talking about on this site. I'm sure that 1000 g of vit C four times a day would cause some serious damage on the body after just a litttle while.

Bang head on a wall like this ->

Then sigh and wait until we find something new again.

is there anything else I can do? ive already tried that lol

Mine never left. When I had my brother smell my breath he said it smelled like I ate candy, and then it was back after ten minutes or so.

Ok i just started the Vitamin C thing, but i've read that too much Vitamin C can be bad for you, even dangerous. I've been browsing around this thread, and read that some people are taking up to 8000mg a day, sureley this can't be good for your body, even if it cures bb. I've read that too much vitamin C can damage your arteries.
What do u think?

i definitely agree. you're never supposed to take too much of any supplement. too much vitamin c is dangerous:

I wouldn't worry too much about it. There's probably plenty of research showing the exact opposite. Biochemistry textbooks state that overdosing on Vitamin A can have a negative effect, but there's nothing on Vitamin C.

nothing in excessive dosages is good for you. Period.

I always thought that extra C in the body flushes itself out thru the urine, as long as you match the C intake with water. Otherwise, it can accumulate and begin to crystallize in the arteries.

However, if Vitamin C actually worked for me, i'd take that risk.

Has anyone studies what is actually going on with C yet?
Why does sugarless work?
Why is it only 2 brands that work? Why don't other forms of C work?

I recently just stopped the vit C because I felt that it was making my breath worse. But now, I am wondering whether I should go back to it or what should I do?

i don't think the vitamin c is making your breath worse.. that part is probably in your head..

however, i'm starting to believe that there isn't much benefit to vitamin c..

yes, it gives a rush of saliva when you pop it into your mouth.. this at least helps you feel fresh, plus I bet the acid in the vitamin c may kill bad breath bacteria on your tongue temporarily, but 10 minutes later those germs will come back anyway


i'm finishing off this second bottle i bought and am calling it quits on vitamin c.

i plan on going to an ENT soon and begging for my tonsils to be removed as well as a checkup on my adenoids.. I don't have insurance but at this point I don't care.. The sooner I have the tonsils out the better.. If I get worse breath after tonsil removal, well maybe I'll just commit s*****e

do the adenoids have anything to do with bb? i had them removed awhile ago, and it seemed like bb got worse after I removed them

adenoids have been talked about around for for some time..

In one popular TMAU case (not necessarily related to badbreath) no solution could be found time after time, until the adenoids were inspected.. they were found to have been rotting .. Then when that person swallowed a chunk of bacteria and whatnot every once in awhile, the body odor would return..


I think it's likely that an adenoid problem could also cause bad breath.. In the same way that tonisls collect bactiera and form tonsil stones, I imagine adenoids could do similar things, only they can't be cleaned out like tonsils sometimes can....


I have a strange smell in my sinuses, and one of my theories is that it's the adenoids or at least some gunk that sticks to them and rots.


Although you had your adenoids removed previously, you could always check with a doctor to see if they look ok. perhaps there's a cavity left in their place that's collecting some nasty stuff?? Apparently a doc can look at them via 'endoscope'.
