Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hey Group, I've been on Nexium for stomach acid, and some other prescription med for allergies, and have been using Nettipot for sinus irrigation (just for only like 4 days or so). BB seems to be getting worse. I hope this is just body's response to new meds and things may get worse before better. I...

Okay group, I had h pylori blood test which came out negative and had barium swallow and upper gi test and all came out normal. So even though I have poor digestion, my focus is back up to my nose, throat, and mouth. I'm now focused on ideas to help clear congestion and PND, which I'm thinking is my...

You go Grizz! Keep up the positivity. But I will say that it's a daily challenge to stay positive and requires mental discipline. I'd like to say that I don't care or never think about it, but I definitely do. Even though I've had some positive experiences lately, I'm still really self-conscious, bu...

Captain Cooch, Appreciate your post. You and I are on the same page here. Hang in there bro. I was totally where you are at now. Holy crap was I in the dumps. And I still am much of the time. But more and more, I'm just discounting negative feelings... I tell myself, I need to focus on what I have c...

Adventure Girl, Appreciate your positive comments. Sounds like you're a great person. Just keep being great and hopefully you'll find an understanding guy who accepts you for all the great things you bring to the table. As for my routine, I really do a bunch of random things, which is a compilation ...

Felt like I wanted to inject some positivity to the site today... In the past six months, I've changed the way I think about this problem. I'm still working for a cure/solution, and I get good ideas from people on this site. So thanks and please keep contributing. With that said, I've had a few fant...

Halitosisux, Good question about HP in mouth and stomach and effects on BB. My answer is "I dunno." But I guess that's why triple antibiotic therapy may work on HP and BB since the antibiotics work wherever the infection may be. Anyway, I'll keep ya all posted. PS If you remember, I ordere...

Thank you to all who posted on this topic and provided insight, feedback. I saw my doc yesterday and was pretty frank about my symptoms, although I mostly couched the problem as a digestive issue, without too much focus on bb. Doc prescribed ppi's for reflux and ordered blood tests and barium swallo...

Archimonde - Yes. I've been in Texas about 9 years. First 1.5 years in Texas bb disappeared. For past 7.5 years, it's been back. So once again, my theory is that around the time I moved from Florida to Texas, I completed acid reflux treatment. So at the time I guess I just thought the acid reflux wa...

Halitosisux ~ Yes, I plan to do the h pylori test regardless. But if it is h pylori, why would I have had bb for a while, then goes away, then back again? If I would've been infected with h pylori all along, seems like I would've had bb all along. So the only things that are correlated as far as I c...

Hey All, Given recent post about reflux and allergies, I want to add a new insight on my bb experience. I've posted this info before but I developed terrible bb while living in Florida in my late-20's. While there I also had very bad reflux, so I got a prescription for prevacid and the reflux was go...

I used to have real bad acid reflux symptoms and took prevacid. After taking the prevacid, I think my bad breath did go away for a while, but now it's been with me for years again now as I'm not on acid reflux medication. Having said that, here's my question... Do you think it's possible to have aci...

I believe I did some research on this substance the other day, and I think it's basically a form of volcanic or medicinal clay which is used generally to assist with dermatology issues and also digestive issues. See related link on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medicinal_clay Otherwise, I ...

Thanks searching. That was an informative reply. I think I was just looking for motivation to use mine more often. I've been a little lazy lately.

It seems that a handful of people on this forum really believe in the oral irrigation/water pik type method of oral hygiene. I have an oral irragator myself and use it occasionally. But really how different is that than just rinsing or gargling? Just curious what people think...
