I think that it's such a nasty smell that even a bit of it makes you involuntarily react. Also, do you guys ever notice people coughing around you more than usual?
yeah, people around me cough & sneeze most of the time specialy those with weaker lungs. it happened about 5 years ago but I`m not sure exactly when. I`m hellbent on trying out cures eversince cuz my back`s already up against the wall. I just avoid products that worsens it more.

Hi jc, what have you tried that is improving your bb condition?

Hi all, I am glad there is this forum as all of you understand how I feel. I have been suffering from bb for 20 yrs, since i was a teenager! My mom used to suffer from bb too but she doesn't seem to now that she is in her 60s.

I have tried everything, special toothpaste/mouthwash, tongu scraper that I order from the States etc - nothing has worked. And I cry A LOT because my colleagues think I am rude to have bb!!!!

Have entertained the thought of committing s*****e since this has gone on for too long 20 DAMN YEARS and NOTHING'S WORKED!! People seem to smell my breath even before I open my mouth! It's like it's coming out from the nose. :cry:

1. i`ve taken oregano capsules 3x a day for 5 months.
2. 500mg. a day of vitamin C for 3 months.
3. used toothpaste with triclosan & xylitol.

It hasn`t cured my bb yet but it`s the only combo that was able to consistently weaken it.`hope this helps...

That's interesting. Seems to reinforce my belief that what plagues me is hormonal. However, I also believe that the lack of good bacteria in my body might be affecting my hormonal systems. So it's a chicken and egg situation. I am not sure what came first- my hormones creating a hostile environment for friendly bacteria or unfriendly bacteria messing up my hormonal balance.

helpme, try taking probiotics daily and make sure you are cleared for acid reflux and H-pylori.

FB SEEKER ,
Hi , just read your post. You and I have similar cases. So I can tell you what I have been told by a # of DOC's. Dysbiosis due Candida infection left untreated effects the thyroid which inturn causes all sorts of hormonal problems. You have to kill the Candida, or it will never clear. The diet consists of no simple carbs and low carb veggies plus protein from fish. FYI. Keep us posted on your treatment with the Pro-biotics. Thanks.

I think I have bb 24/7 and can impact people within a 4 feet radius. Some day are better than others. Sometimes i think it comes through my nose too or pores because over the years it is difficult for others to sit next to me for over 30 minutes without rubbing their noses and offering me mints. Sometimes I brush my teeth and follow my oral refresh regimen at 4 times a day.

People say I have a great personality but I shy away from all social interactions because of my bb. I have become the queen of declining invitations to parties, showers, concerts,plays, conferences etc... The rejections can be overwhelming at time. My faith keeps me strong. [-o<

=D> ....u think ur funny, dont u? U are trying to tell me what and what doesnt happen to me, do u freakin know me?? are you there when these things happen?....NO, so stop replying to me with your stupid sarcastic comments and grow up!
woooh fella .. How did you think he was being negative to you in anyway?

Was it his comment about how "that's just not possible"? He was talking about the distance of 50 feet.. not a few feet :p


I don't blame you for being paranoid, but here on the site we shouldn't have to be so defensive.. We all know how it is.
I wasnt even goin to bother replying to you! but if u read what he typed again, he clearly tries to say ppl cannot smell u from a couple of feet away!!...Which IS possible....Why would he be talkin to someone who is standing 50 feet away from him??? :? ...is it clear to u now!! And by the way im a Lady not a Fella!!!

I've been trying all these possible quick fix methods like baking soda irrigation, vinegar, etc, and so far I think it's actually made my breath worse. I don't know if it's because I practically stopped using my hydrofloss or halitomafia products...but I don't know. Does gum make anybody's breath worse?? Before I go to work I always put in a piece of gum knowing that I won't be able to freshen my breath for awhile (I'm a server), and I notice that my guests have a worse expression on their face then after I spit it out. Ugh...
I stopped using halitomafia products and I think I am far better off. My bb initially got a little aggravated but gradually became better after a month or two. Now I just use normal toothpaste and that's it. I recall my nasal bb becoming more and more chronic when I started using halitomafia products. So I just stopped it together with my nasal solution and spray. And now my breath is fresher. Actually, my ent does not believe in nasal irrigation or spray unless you have chronic sinusitis as (accdng to him) this will upset the flora in your upper respiratory that was haywired and is constantly trying to regulate itself with the help of immunity.

I also take zinc, magnesium, vit a/c, echinacea and acidophilus supplements and my intake of raw veggies and fruits is increased to 50-70% in the last month. I drink a lot of black decaf with sweeteners and limit my intake of sugar. When I am not stressed, my bb is minimum, not offensive in 1 foot radius.

I'm so depressed...... my bad breath is obviously very pungent, not only do people touch their nose, they also make fun of me during chemistry class. It's obvious that their comments are directed towards me and every time someone smells something horrible, people automatically assume that it's my breath. Today a girl made a gesture and it wasn't very hard to interpret. She pointed to me, then her mouth, then she punched in the direction of her friend's nose. You tell me how you'd interpret this and to make matters worse, she did it infront of the entire chemistry class!
