Yep, I had this done too. Same symptoms as the rest of you. Big waste of time and money. I think this particular procedure is only helpful if there is something radically physically abnormal about your throat/swallowing function.

Let me add to the venting... About 4 years ago I quit a job in part because of this problem since the job had a late of face-to-face with customers and staff members. I basically took about a 16K per year pay cut to get a job with less people contact. Now at least I have a job that has helped me to ...

Cured, Those are some good thoughts and suggestions, which I will give further consideration. Perhaps I should consider more testing. But the thing that vexes me the most is why did this problem completely disappear for 1.5 years after my relocation? As I recall, I changed nothing about my eating/he...

Halitosisux ~ Thanks for bringing that up. After quick research on the item you mentioned, that problem can manifest itself in the throat as well as the nasal area. I read that some with the problem get relief from nasal saline irrigation. But the key is that it has to be done often which is tough f...

Hey All, I've thrown this out a few times, but I thought about it more and want to see what you all think... Argument that bb is caused by some kind of allergic response: 1. Might explain why my bb went away for 1.5 years after a move from one part of the country/climate to another. Then it came bac...

bb - Personally I think that good digestion and being "regular" might have something to do with the bb issue. I have very slow digestion, lots of burping, stomach upset almost daily. So I'm trying to get more disciplined with my diet, but haven't really done a good job with that yet. I ten...

Speak no evil ~ All I can say is that I'm really sorry this is happening to you and to all of us. It's the worst kind of illness imaginable. Lately I've been really pessimistic about a cure, which is making me angrier and angrier. So most days, outside of work, I'm either bitter or sad. What kind of...

One of the best things I did when this problem was very badly affecting my work was to find a job with less contact with people. In my previous job, I had to work closely (face to face) with staff members and customers basically all day long, which was a nightmare. Every day, I'd go home dejected. N...

Yes, news or opinions that this is a reasonably uncurable condition can be disheartening. But it might also be the truth. I get very down when I hear that members of this forum have been struggling with this for 10, 20, more years. I've had it for 8 or so with no end in sight. So sometimes I'm more ...

my bb started when I had poor oral hygeine, later I became obsessive about it and went to dentists regularly, now my dentist tells me that my gums and teeth look healthy, and basically told me that I'm screwed. Daveparker, I believe you mentioned in a couple previous posts that your dentist was fra...

For me, it came in a relatively small envelope (maybe 6" by 8") which is marked Amazon.com with nothing that would indicate what it is. Most folks would just think it's a book. By the way, I just took a reading... On a scale of 1 to 5, I was 5 (worst). Most of the day, I was at a 3. It's e...

I think at least one other member of this forum bought this device but I don't think anyone has reported any results, so here goes... I bought this for about $30 and it's a very simple little electronic device that you turn on, blow into, and it has 5 readings for levels of bb. After experiementing ...

I'm still using MMS with lemon juice activator and water to tongue brush and rinse, but haven't had much success. I think it only helps temporarily (less than 10 minutes of bb control). I usually don't swallow any however. I think some reported success by using it as much as 3 times a day and swallo...

Desperate1, Welcome to the club that no one wants to have to join... the bb club that is. First rule is that conventional commercial products don't really help and probably do more harm than good. Conventional mouthwash and toothpaste have drying agents and alcohol which can make bb worse. First hab...
