Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

[quote Jen - How did you test your estrogen/progesterone level? I read it somewhere on the internet that saliva test can give accurate result, not blood test.[/quote] Hoping - I haven't done any testing yet. But there are 3 ways: blood, urine and saliva. Apparently saliva is best, because this metho...

I am so glad somebody is finally discussing this topic. My bb also started at age 11 and since reading that many people's bb started then, I had a vague suspicion that hormones could have something to do with it.. Now, thinking back, my bb has been manageable until I started using the three month co...

Every person has his or her own issues which is very real and extremely distressing to him or her, even though others cannot really understand it. I have a husband and a job, but am sometimes in so much emotional pain that I wish I could die. Social interaction is excruciating for me and because of ...

I used betaine HCL with peptin once. I went up to three or four tablets per meal without any burning sensation in my stomach, but then it started burning the corners of my mouth - like when you eat too many oranges. So I stopped taking it. And I still don't know whether I have a problem with stomach...

Oh, goody. Another Ahmad. All this swearing and throwing tantrums, how exhausting, really. I wonder who told this person that everybody on this forum has candida.

Is it like tissue salts? I have used tissue salts religiously for a long time and it didn't help at all.

K99, I'm on a course - very boring - and I was reading this forum on my phone to pass the time. Then I read your post and I just wanted to start bawling and I had to run to the bathroom to shed a few tears, because you are voicing what I feel and I also have a mouth that smells like a pig in shit. W...

Hali_girl, didn't it give you a runny stomach? We use it as a laxative where I live.

Thanks, Deebo, but unfortunately I don't have Skype. There is also a lack of privacy in our house, I won't be able to talk freely. That's why I would like to find out here how people with longstanding, chronic bb manage to cope. It seems there are not a lot of people who have had it for so long. Goo...

MissPretty and hali_girl, sorry I seemed to have missed these replies. No, my nasal odour is definitely still gone (I used to get a whiff of a shit smell when I put my hand up to my nose, but I don't get that anymore), but I have stopped using the 5htp long ago and it was actually psyllium husk whic...

How do I cope with it? By summoning all my will power, against need, hope and desire, to accept that which I cannot change. It allows you to survive, but leaves you emotionally wounded. Phantasist, thanks so much for sharing your story and answering my questions. Your last paragraph sums it all up ...

Please tell me your story! How do you cope with life? Is your bb manageable or horrible? Did it get worse over the years? What did you try? Did the bb change your personality? Did you manage to live your life quite normally or did you withdraw from society (I don't know if that is really possible)? ...

Sharing meals with colleagues is one major problem for me. We are always going away as a team to other towns where we stay in hotels. I always try to eat alone which naturally makes me an outcast. The mere idea of having to sit close to people and eating with them gives me nightmares. I have no choi...

So, Clara and Phantasist, your mouths feel fresh? You don't need to chew gum? Weird. Even though I know it doesn't really help, I can't live without gum, for myself, because I always have a bad taste in my mouth.

Thanks, Clara! It sounds horrible to say I'm glad I'm not the only one who experiences this but it does help to know other people know how you feel... I'll have to start using the probiotics again and see whether it helps.
