Do you drink cola?
Now that I've given you some brief information about me, I want to share something that happened to me recently. I developed Sciatica a few months ago. My doctor prescribed a muscle relaxer and another drug. Both drugs were supposed to be taken with food. But on the night of December 30th, the pain in my leg was so bad that I couldn't sleep so I took the medicine without eating anything and eventually went to sleep. A little while later, I woke up feeling extremely nauseous. I got sick to my stomach and had to throw up. I was throwing up almost the whole day.
Okay, I guess I should get to the point of all this before I lose some of you. I used to drink from two to four cans of Coca Cola a day. I also smoke. To me a good meal was a Coke and a cigarette. However, after I got sick, I didn't want to drink Coke anymore. It just didn't taste the same. So, I started drinking orange pop instead. That's when I gradually started to notice that my breath was no longer as bad as it usually was. The bad taste in my mouth was gone and I didn't have to run to the bathroom to lessen my horrid morning breath dragon mouth before I could talk to anyone. I still smoke but since I gave up drinking cola, my breath seems to be improving. The white coating on my tongue is practically gone.
Now, this part may sound strange but I haven't had anyone smell my breath to see if it really has improved or if this whole cure thing is just a figment of my imagination. My greatest fear is publicly admitting or acknowledging that I have bad breath. I haven't even discussed it with my boyfriend of three years. I'm too ashamed to talk about it. Last year was the first time I talked to my doctor about it.
I don't know if this would work for anyone else but if you currently drink cola, try giving it up completely for at least a week and see if you notice an improvement. Maybe the cure for bad breath might just be as simple as giving up something rather than adding something. Thanks for bearing with me.
I really don't believe drinking cola gives people bb but then who knows! I have a friend who actually drinks a lot of cola and hardly any water at all, she even carries an ice-chest with sodas with her when ever she goes out in an outing and she does not have bb. She says she has avoided drinking water since she was a little girls so go figure.

I don't think drinking cola gives everyone bad breath, but it may give some people bad breath. Everyone's physiology is different and certain types of ingredients/chemicals/additives can cause a unique or undesirable reaction. Obviously, there is a reason we are suffering from this condition while others are not. All I am asking is for people to start analyzing what they put into their bodies on a regular basis and then use a process of elimination.halihope wrote:Hi Clementine

I like totally agree with u on this.
I remember drinking Coke every day when i was in high school, specially those hot days when I used to come from school n drink a full glass of cold n yummy coke. After a lil while I started having acid reflux, n sore throat I noticed that every single sip of coke cooled n stopped my sore throat for a sec then made it worse, that was when I decided to stop drinking carbonated drinks.

I thought I had this problem licked but I found out for sure when I volunteered to assist at a charity event. I have always wanted to be a volunteer but couldn't because I was always afraid of offending people and not being able to get close to anyone and losing friends instead of making them. But I felt confident enough that my breath problem had been cured that I decided to go for it. Unfortunately, I was assigned to sell raffle tickets (not only did I not have the confidence for that but I was scared that my breath would fail me). Sure enough, it did. While talking to another volunteer, she suddenly offered me some gum. I said no because I had my own gum which I quickly put in my mouth. Even though it was done tactfully, I knew that I still have bb and all of the confidence I had left went away. I just couldn't wait to go home. I guess I'm back to square one.
i definately know that you should avoid dairy like the plague. my breath stinks to high heaven ALL THE TIME,but i find that it's worse when i eat dairy or drink coffee. if you are consuming any of these it would help to stop. your breath is still gonna stink,but just not as bad.Clementine wrote:I'm sad to report that my cola theory did not work.

Halitosis becomes easier If reduction voltage on the mucosal surface is decreased. Alkaline (pH>7) substances such as milk, cheese, sistein and cyctine containing foods, cause this.
Halitosis becomes more difficult If reduction voltage on the mucosal surface is increased. Acidic (pH<7) substances cause this.
For this reason oxygen-relasing solutions (like peroxydes, peranganates, oxyd-8, NaClO2 etc) and acidic foods (like cola) partly prevent halitosis. (p.s. Im not talking about breath odor)

Shouldn't those two be switched around? I could swear cheese, milk, cystine...were all acidic....(PH>7). And cola is extremely acidic so how does that help halitosis exactly?aydinmur wrote:I would like to tell you some redox reactions on mucosal surfaces:

Yes. Im here because of must learn about halitosis with your perspective. Im new this forum, but read almost whole archive. I have noted many info about each of your diseases. you all are valuable for me. Im learning new things from you. Such as sinus lavage, herbal drugs, odorigenic foods etc...halitosisux wrote:Hi aydinmur. Sorry to drift from the subject matter. I understand you are an oral microbiologist.
Thanks for the question....snip... is there a definitive way of analysing breath to determine the source of malodour, for instance whether or not the odour is due to the typical microbial composition of the oral cavity, or that of the digestive system etc.
I'll try to tell you with my bad English. There are 5 types of halitosis. See : viewtopic.php?t=2814
Each patient may have one or more types of halitosis. I have personally developed a diagnostic method that consist of 5 different measurements with halitometer from mouth and nose, on the other hand, approximately 50 questions for each patient. This take my 1 hour or more. When these vaalues are compared with each others, I can nearly estimate what origin(s) of that persons's halitosis as independently from his / her static mouth odor measured by halitometer.
Yes. I would like to add one more thing:...snip...Please add any relevant info that you think may also be of intestest.
To detect reason(s) of halitosis is not very big problem. Believe me, all patients better know reasons(s) of their odors than us. The real problem: there are not good laboratories that truely makes chemical analyses. There is not relevant doctor who can treat the problem. This is my opinion of course.
