And see what happens.

Good luck

I've read that FODMAP has helped people with bad breath.

In order for the fruit detox to work, your problem can't be fructose or the natural chemicals in the fruit itself.

I just wanted to update in case anyone is interested...

I cannot stick to the diet, it is too hard.

But I have learned that I am definitely allergic to caffine, it makes me nauseated within 30 minutes and then incredibly fatiged within 6 hours. To the point that I can barely function.

I also ate ...

Hey, I'm not doing it. It's tooooo gross. Eww.

I've got a dietitian now and am hoping that this is my solution.

I'm doing the RPAH Allergy Diet coupled with bi-carb paste over the tongue that was suggested by another member (it works well for me) which is an indication that diet is the culprit.

Why is being skinny correlated with having bad breath?

I don't know and I don't care.

@fog
How did I attempt to assess myself? Spoon test, gauze test, taste in mouth, etc. etc... all unreliable...
My ex brought up my bb in conversation, and that's how she started giving me feedback on a regular basis...
Sometimes, my mouth felt rank, and she feedbacked me to say there was no smell ...

I'm back on my diet now, I saw my dietitian this afternoon, it's 6pm now.

I am going to see her every Monday - it's Monday here btw.

That way I am more accountable.

I'm not quitting sugar entirely, she said because I am struggling it's something that can be saved to try if this doesn't work.

In ...

Weird about the vinegar and room filling BB.

It sounds like starvation symptoms, did you starve yourself?

I also fell off the wagon on my diet, got the flu and just stopped caring. Didnt think it was strict enough anyways.

No I ate quite a lot of food, especially high fat/ calorie food like ...

Update: I fell off the wagon a few days back, I didn’t make it to 3 weeks.
I’m seeing my dietitian tomorrow, I’m going to tell her I need more support, I can’t do this alone.

I’ve also updated my list of allowed foods which is now a mix of strict allergy elimination and FODMAP.

Basically ...

Hi Igor, please look into doing an elimination diet.

By 6 weeks I should no longer have bad breath.

I have already had a few really bad spells of room filling B.B. since starting this diet.

My B.B. is not usually room filling, usually no one knows unless I open my mouth and I’m also near them.

But as I mentioned, I had a setback with the vinegar ...

How long does it take to "starve off" the bacteria? Didn't a few people said water detox doesn't work for them?

I wouldn’t use the term ‘starve off bacteria’

The term is more like ‘see improvement in symptoms’

I can’t speak for the water detox people, I’ve read those posts too but I don’t ...

So the transplant is off, i see.

Yes, while I was waiting for holidays and the chance to do it I decided to change my diet.

I think it’s working, so I am happy.

I really wasn’t looking forward to doing that gross transplant. Ewww.
Also, my husband gets holes in his teeth and I don’t so that ...

Hey WhiteCat how's the diet going, any changes? Is this a fodmap diet? Are you trying to starve your gut bacteria? I'm kind of surprised beans are on your allowed list. They feed gut bacteria a lot. I know when i tried the fodmap diet i couldn't eat them. Or are you cutting out foods which are ...

I will eventually eliminate stuff untill it makes sense whats working and what is not. I have faild at eliminating too much in one go so im kind of easing into it now.

Two forum users described having to eliminate meats + other stuff(extreme vegan diet basically).

Both of you givme me hope that I ...
