I wonder if I have H pylori, simply because I was 100% cured whilst taking metronidazole. And for some reason, metronidazole doesn't seem to work on everyone. Bad breath returned about 4 days after stopping the medication. I plan to try another course if I can get my hands on some more. Do you think...

amoxiclin did nothing for me, either.
Metronidazole (another antibiotic) gave me perfect breath for the first time in a decade. Even morning breath smelt of nothing!
(bad breath came back a few days after I stopped using it)
You ever tried Metronidazole?

First you need to find out whether tonsil stones are causing your bad breath before you do all this clean up. You might want to damage your tonsil in the process but in the end your tonsil had nothing to do with your bad breath. Just saying How does one know? I get tonsil stones and I think there's...

Afraid not.
I was temporarily cured when taking metronidazole. BB came back about 5 days later.

and try this regimen.... Hi Antonous. I appreciate your post. I will give it a go, but I must say that I really am giving up on the endless 'home remedies' approach. I've tried hundreds of them. They don't actually work. How can they? There's obviously an underlying issue with all of us. We need to...

It sounds like you were probably suffering from H pylori? You basically took the triple antibiotic treatment that a doctor would have prescribed for that bacterium.
Lots of people who have h pylori have bad breath that is cured with the triple antibiotic medication.

I've just seen that you can buy a breath kit and test for h pylori at home. Shall I do it? Money is too tight to mention at the moment, but it's fairly cheap, and it would rule out one of my remaining possible causes. Anyone else done it? ??????????????? -------------------------------- On another ...

Good on you.
Have you had the surgery yet?
Like you, i've tried just about everything now, so I too will be looking at taking a much more aggressive approach, soon.
Keep us updated.

And after that, I guess I'll have to start looking at more drastic measures. GP wont hear talk of a tonsilectomy at the moment, so i'll either have to lie and keep making up symptoms like sore throats, or I'll have to take out a loan to pay for a private tonsilectomy. I think there's about a 50% cha...

update: Been going probiotic mad for a few weeks now, but it looks like that's another thing I can definitely cross off my list. I've tried taking lots of them a few years ago and they didn't help, but I thought i'd give them another shot on the basis of some posters advice. Sad to say no change. I'...

And of course, there's been lots of people for whom having a tonsi...

I seem to always be going around in circles as to working out what/where the smell is actually coming from. For a while, I was thinking along the lines of various stomach issues / infections and things such as h pylori. If I burp, there is no real smell. So I don't think it's coming from my stomach....
