Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

My final thoughts on this forum...

My point in posting the particular solution to my issue was to show that there is a biological issue causing our bodies to have an abnormal reaction like chronic halitosis. A healthy adult should not have chronic bad breath. If after trying everything you cannot ...

It actually DOES have something to do with the Pepto. Pepto Bismol(Bismuth) can act like an antibiotic and that is why it is added to the treatment to eradicate bacteria that the antibiotics have not.

A randomized, open-label Chinese trial including 160 patients with H. pylori infection and ...

Have you been tested for H Pylori?

those are symptoms of H Pylori. It also causes bad breath. a 10-14day treatment will relieve your pain. Go see a GI doc and get tested

Just some background on me: I'm a 36 year old female, slender, exercise regularly and eat healthy.

I first discovered I had bad breath in high school. It wasn't as bad then and I believe it got worse as I aged. My parents occasionally mentioned that I had bad breath but no one else would say ...
