Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism today. I doubt that it has an effect on my breath, but one can always hope that things will improve! The meds may take ages to work, apparently, but if bb is reduced at any time, I will update.

Most people discreetly touch their noses, once somebody gave me a really angry look, one person literally jumps backwards every time I open my mouth. One or two has looked me in the face and told me pointedly, "there's a horrible smell in here". My daughter told me straight that my breath ...

Seanlee, thanks for your suggestion. I did add some rice and potatoes, because I can't function with this horrible breath. It's a little better, but I do feel disappointed that I can't follow the diet 100%. Sadgirl, I would love to hear what he says, but can't open the video. Could you maybe summari...

Mtr, I posted another thread on that. I've cut out all sugar, wheat diary and most carbs (starch) and it makes my bb problem much, much worse. This diet really gives me dragon breath x2. I haven't noticed much difference in my tongue coating. The only positive is that I have less pnd when I cut out ...

I've just started the candida diet again two weeks ago. I don't take any antifungals, because last time it made my bb so bad, I wanted to die. I find that whenever I reduce carbohydrates (including sugar), my bb becomes much, much worse. I know that constipation becomes more of an issue with lower c...

Mtr, thanks for the pics. Your tongue is very smooth. Mine is much more hairy which obviously makes it more difficult to clean. I struggle with a far worse coating than yours. I know I have multiple causes and now I realize that my tongue is one of them. Are there any others here with a hairy tongue...

Jimi, it is great that you found something to manage your bb. I'm really happy for you. When I read your post, I also bought L-glutamine and it felt better, but then I tried antibiotics and stopped the l-glutamine for a while. I'm back on it and will see, but I have hope that it will work at least f...

I tried the same antibiotics and posted about it, but I can't find my posts right now. Just an update: I experienced a great reduction of bb for about two weeks, but bb has come back. It was a valuable experience though, because it confirmed that (among other things) I have a sinus problem, which I ...

thanks for replying...I have thought about sinus as my nose feels stuffy a lot of the time so interesting you say that Jen. The real problem i have is getting help. I went to my dr a couple of years back (I'm in UK btw) and told him my problems. He just looked blankly at me and i found myself havin...

Hi neverending. Have you checked out adenoids? Or sinus. I don't know if a tongue problem can make you breathe through your mouth only. Maybe your tongue gets too dry because of the mouth breathing and that's why it is cracked. Just a thought.

Math, have you tried digestive enzymes to help digest the fats?

You are still young and have such a wonderful opportunity to gain knowledge and try different things that I'm sure you will each find your cure before long and have a happy and fulfilled bb-free life.... Thanks Jen for the compliment!! :D lol But I'm 47 years old and have been living with this 36 y...

@jen if your ibs is constant and you have pnd and sinus problems I suggest you consider food allergy/intolerance. if the symptoms are with you all the time it may be something that you have lots of in your diet like milk protein (it's everywhere even in foods you wouldn't suspect) or gluten. please...

Good luck, Clara. I really hope they can help you and that you can finally get your cure. As for me, I'm feeling really great. Wonderful, clean saliva and I don't have to rush and brush in the morning. I even went to buy groceries today without gum in my mouth. I would say bb has been 80% reduced at...

Could be that you just have to figure out the right amount of tablets to take.
