Nasal Irrigation - I believe it is working
The one time I did manage to do it correctly, I felt a huge blob of mucous passing to my mouth. I spat it out and it was a pretty big blob with some brown in it. I couldn't believe that was just sitting up there. It felt so good to get it out especially since I didn't even realize what was up there.
I manage to remove this mucous by spraying the water up hard. No gently squirts and no head tilting. I just kept my head over the sink like you would do with stage 1. If I did inhale I wasn't consciously aware of it. The only time I seem to be able to get water to come back out through the mouth is if I squirt hard and a lot up at once. Anyways, just thought I share in case anyone is having trouble with stage 2 jala neti as well.

But I've been using something called called Simply Saline which i picked up about a week ago from the local drug store. Now when I first picked this up, I thought oh its another salt, water, baking soda type thing like Neilmed. But on the bottle its described as a "comforting mist dries congestion as gentle misting flushes dust, dirt, pollen and congestion from nasal and sinus passages." Ingredients are: purified water,3% sodium chloride.
This has been a total shock to me that this has been the cause all along, I was totally convinced my odor was no where near sinus or allergy or cold or congested related. In fact, I barely have any allergies at all except for seasonal type stuff. In the Spring and Summer and its the dead of Winter here. And I had seen several ENTs who gave me a clean bill of health.
I've been home using this for the past 7 days and my family confirmed that when I use this stuff, after say 10 minutes, the odor is gone. But then comes back after 2 to 3 hours.
Also, for the first time last Friday, I was able to have a straight face to face conversation with my boss and he didn't flinch not once.
Anyway, since it APPEARS(???) that this is where my problem lies, I figured why not re-visit the nasal irrigation which I'd done before using Neilmed but this time, do the stage 2 that Searching suggested and see if that would give me longer relief. So what I started doing yesterday is twice a day (morning and night) after brushing my teeth with Tom's toothpaste, and gargling with water, I've been doing the stage 2 nasal irrigation, then two squirts each in each nostril of the Simply Saline. The good thing is I could simply carry it with me in my purse and use it as I need to to.
Like lots of other stuff, I don't know if I'll just become immuned to these methods and have to start all over again but I feel I at least now I have a point of reference that I could follow up on. I have to say thank you soooo much to Searching for posting this info. For the longest time, I skipped over these type posts and said to myself oh that's not my problem. My problem's digestive, or acid reflux, or I have an ulcer or stress is causing this or something and that might very well be the case for many other people. But I guess what I'm saying is I should not have been so quick to excluded this.

Searching, how do you stop the saline solution from going down the throat? I kept getting the gag reflex every time I tried Stage 2 irrigation.searching wrote:After using this technique for about 2 months I can now say, with confidence, it is definitely working for me. It has become a part of my morning routine and it provides effective and satisfying results.
It just takes practice. In a few weeks, you won't gag even if you swallow shit.Hal_1t0515 wrote:Searching, how do you stop the saline solution from going down the throat?

Hopefully after a few more times, I'll be able to do it straight thru.
No effect on the BB yet tho.
any help anyone, have tried so many prescribed/non prescribed meds and really want t perservere with the nasal irrigation, just want to know how to do it effectively
Once i snort the water thru the nose, I usually try and expel it out of my mouth similar to before you would normally extract saliva to spit. Then hopefully the stream will follow..
Sometimes I find it works and other times it can get frustrating.. you just have to keep doin it.
Be interested to know if other ppl have found an easy reliable way.
