Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Kathe20, it can. It happened to me! In fact, I was just going to post about it when i saw this thread. I've had a tooth that was neglected ten years ago. We moved after I got a temporary fillling and I postponed another visit to the dentist for too long. I was already suffering from mild bb since ...

Go see doctors. Your life could start some weeks from now in case you would do this.

Aues, have you seen doctors and are you cured?? I've seen many different doctors and had more ops and procedures you could imagine and I STILL stink.

Daniel, that doesn't mean I say give up. Maybe you're one ...

But I will say that everyone has their crosses to carry and burdens to bare. Christ did so Christians are no different. For us it is bb for others it may be cancer, deformities, or other physical ailments. Some ppl have to deal with mental ailments from molestion, abuse, etc.

God does not make ...

Clara, how do you rinse your upper sinuses? I don't think my method reaches the upper ones.

I've also noticed quite a while ago that scraping my tongue doesn't help, but not scraping it definitely doesn't do a thing for me

I know what you mean... In my case I must say nobody is cruel. People never laugh or make nasty remarks. But the pain, the constant pain of interaction with others - seeing their subtle reactions like rubbing noses - is killing me. It's been going on for so long (30 years) and my ability to cope is ...

Pervy, speaking from my own experience, this very low-carb diet can be responsible for outrageously bad breath. Remember that ketosis has its own bad odour and if you have digestive issues your odour may become much worse. However, I've found that taking digestive enzymes with every meal and taking ...

Good riddance, damn it. How mean can you get??

Wonder if he will still laugh his head off if his bb becomes so bad. And don't rule that out. Mild bb can become room filling - ask me.

After 3 weeks on thyroid medication, my bb has been reduced considerably. On a scale of 1-10, I'll say it is about 3 now (I've been a 10 + for many years).

I believe that the hypothyroidism caused sinus infections and other problems related to the digestive system which contributed hugely to my bb ...

A doctor was telling a chemo patient (who is suffering from dry mouth) NOT to sip on water all the time. He said that water is hypotonic and actualy pulls moisture from your tissues. I was like WTF!? Then he said think about what happens when take a bath for too long. Your hands look like prunes ...

Mike, have you ever had your thyroid checked? I,m reading quite a lot about it at the moment and some of your symptoms that I can remember, are mentioned with regard to hyperthyroid, such as losing weight , diarrhea, eczema, bb. May be worth your while to look into it.

Oh, and the bloating and the ...

HS, thanks a lot. Your question made me think and I did some quick research. It appears that dry mouth and throat is indeed a symptom of hypothyroidism. Maybe I've had it for longer than I think.

One member of the Thyroid Disorders Board, says she uses a mouthwash that the dr usually prescribe for ...

I tend to agree with HS. I had a yeast infection three years ago. Following the candida diet made my breath worse (because of no carbs) and anyway, the diet is impossible to follow longterm as the internet sources advised.

I used all kinds of antifungals and these put enormous strain on my liver ...

gymrat and Jen, do either of you suffer from a dry mouth?

HS, I suffer from very dry mouth and throat, for many years now. I got used to it and only realized how dry it was when antibiotics - for a very brief period of time - restored my normal saliva flow. It felt great and my breath felt so ...

I have been suffering from foul breath for over 25 years, I’m now 46. For most of those 25 years I was convinced I had a thyroid problem, not because of the BB but due to other symptoms such as:
hair loss on head and outer eyebrows
low ferritin levels (this showed up on every blood test I had ...

Hi, gymrat, thanks for your reply. I was (pleasantly) surprised to read that thyroid meds worked for your bb, because I tried to google hypothyroidism and bb and didn't find anything much. I have also suffered from aches and pains and stiffness for some years and doctors simply told me it's probably ...
