Vitamin/mineral defiency?
Re: Vitamin/mineral defiency?
Sorry to hear about your youngest son.
As you probably already know, there are many possible causes for stinky breath.
One of the most simple and straightforward is dehydration, which is the reason the majority of humanity wakes up every morning with morning breath. Yes, morning breath is a minor condition that can be “cured” by swilling a mouthful of water.
Then there are bodily disorders that may lend a characteristic breath odor: uncontrolled diabetes (ketoacidosis), advanced liver disease, advanced kidney disease, ketosis (keto diet), a rare genetic condition called SELENBP1 for short.
For severe and chronic halitosis the usual cause is a persistent over-abundance of gram negative oral bacteria on the tongue, in the throat, on the teeth and gums, in and around the interdental spaces.
Bhah, blah, you probably know all this..
Anyway, a quick test to confirm or disconfirm the most common cause, namely oral origin (stinky oral bacteria) is to use a dose of 0.12% or 0.2% chlorhexadine mouthwash, say 15ml, gargle and swish 30-45 seconds, spit, do not rinse with water. If that does away with the odor, even temporarily, it pretty much confirms oral bacteria origin. If not, well, look elsewhere.
Yes, in North American jurisdictions chlorhexadine mouthwash usually requires a dentist’s scrip, but depending who you know, not too hard to lay your hands on a small amount. If unavailable, hydrogen peroxide 1% would accomplish the same thing, but for a shorter period, maybe 15 minutes.

Re: Vitamin/mineral defiency?
I have searching for answers for over 20 years and I believe I am finally in the right direction. In the beginning, I had no idea what the cause was. I didn't even realize it was genetic until my oldest son came down with it. I think we suffer from a vitamin deficiency that directly affects the bodies natural production of the "things" that keep that sulfur like bacteria at bay. Myself, my sister and my mom (not sure about other family) all suffer from low iron, so it is totally plausible that my family members with the halitosis all suffer from a different deficiency. Now I am trying to find what that deficiency is. I am starting with magnesium.

Re: Vitamin/mineral defiency?
Me too, but I doubt it has anything to do with my bad breath, seeing as my bb preceded my anemia by decades.
