Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hi, I have bb associated with post nasal drip, often thick clear secretion from my nose or somewhere in my throat. If the stuff sticks around I get really bad breath that smells like crap. I have been using two drugs lately, guaifenesin and N-acetycysteine (NAC). Guaifenesin is used to treat chest c...

For a while I thought colgate total cured me. I tried the lick test after brushing with it and there wasn't a smell. I even had the nerve to talk and laugh directly at my friends but soon found out it didn't work from their reactoins. Drinking tons and tons of water, gargling or rinsing with water e...

I"ve only suffered bb for a short time and it has impacted my life a lot. I've become very depressed at times and think about people's reactions a lot and what they must think of me. I don't really know what it is like to suffer from this most of your life but I think I have a good sense of wha...

I'm really sorry to hear about your results with zinc. I sort of suspected that it may have only a little or no effect at all. I have to agree with you guys about dry mouth though.

I forgot to mention that I did drink a lot of water throughout my workout to prevent dry mouth. The workout test is pretty reliable for me since I always get really bb from it. I've had many reactons from people at the gym, mostly the downing down and avoiding eye contact response. Life goes on...

I think most of you may already know about zinc and its ability to mop up the volatile sulfur smelly stuff. Here is a potential remedy for bb, particularly the dry mouth type. Go out and buy pure zinc (gluconate) from your drugstore at the 50 mg dosage. They're about 10 bucks for 100 tablets in Cana...

It seems that many of us have similar sinus problems, which is leading to our horrible breath. I can usually feel rather thick clear mucus from post nasal drip on my tongue throughout the day and i would often have to cough it up. Nasal washes/irrigation takes out buckets of the stuff. My tongue lik...

My bad breath started in the past year or so. During my childhood and high school years no one said anything about my breath and I never had any bad reactions. I'm 26 now and a college student. I've lived with two housemates during my time in school and they never said anything either and we've had ...
