Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Yes it is a humiliating condition to have but i can think of plenty of actually harmful and dangerous/life threatening medical conditions that one could have instead.

Yeah I'd rather have cancer than be cursed all my life with this torturous shit, at least you ...

Whenever I dress the way I like, girls approach me and I have to pretend I don't see them.
So to prevent embarrassment for both me and them,I always have to dress down like a bum.
The question is they seem to notice my bad smell (coughing, noises from nose, etc) but still get close to me, do they ...

Saliva test is one of the easy ways.
Take your finger all the way to back of the tongue (near the throat) and very gently scrape the surface with your finger nail to pick a sample of your saliva.
Let it dry on your finger and then smell it. VIOLA !!!

I mean without someone else carefully helps smell your bad breath apart from your body odor there's just no way to tell, self-diagnose is next to impossible; I've met many normal people whose breath smelled worse than mine when talking close, and many posters on this site had someone confirm that ...

Was the surgery FESS (Functional endoscopic sinus surgery)? I'm contemplating one too as the drugs didn't help at all

hello harvestor, what brand of mint free toothpaste are you using? I still cant find one for adults here in our place (only for kids/babies).

I don't even know, I've become numb from much of the internal pain if it exists, like when they diagnosed me GERD which is new but I don't feel anything different from years ago

I have seen 2 lung specialists. 1 ordered some general blood tests. Another said lungs won't cause bad breath.



The lungs can't cause bad breath but when you have stomach and gut issues, the smell can spread to the lungs. Read about leaky gut and bad breath


No, the lungs definitely can ...

I try so many things at once I don't know where to start
And the smell is on off

Today it's off again
I'm trying to narrow them down

Could you perhaps list those things so we can compare?
How is your tongue looking?


Switching to mint free natural toothpaste
Oral probiotics
Semi vegan diet ...

I always suspected them of being the culprit, but since as far as I knew there was no way to measure or practically cure it, I have been putting it aside

So, any ideas?

Seems like natural toothpaste still shreds my mouth when it has mint as an ingredient
Doesn't happen with a coconut oil flavored one

So it's fine for now

How accurate is this method? I think my BB used to be worse when I can smell own saliva smell.
