hi first-time poster here... im a sufferer for about 5 years. anyway... my dentist and orthodontist say my teeth& gums are great. so i scratch that off my list. i have my tonsils (had tonsil stones a couple years back but have not coughed one up/seen one since). my wisdom teeth are gone. i read a lot here and there , and here is what i've come up with
1) sinuses. i usually wake up having to blow my nose alot, and feel mucus going down the back of my mouth a lot. also one nostril (never the same nostril the next day) is ALWAYS clogged up. been like this for as far back as i can remember. as well as swollen eyes all the time i hate it. i use a netipot and sudafed but it doesnt seem to make a noticeable difference.
2) stomach. whenever i lay down (not hungry) my stomach makes a lot of different kind of noises. like weird alien sounds its so gross that i try to avoid sleeping in the same room as other ppl. started maybe 4 years ago and is just getting worse. i hear similar sounds sometimes coming from my orthodontists stomach but he does not have bb so i dunno what to think. still im not gonna rule it out because well its obvious that i shouldn't
so if anyone can relate to any of these problems and have any advice that would be neat. There is a good chance I'll be getting health insurance very soon so will be addressing these 2 things with a doc. hopefully i can get some antibiotics or a scan of my sinuses , as well as something for my gut.
also i should admit that i treated my body very badly for a few years, was smoking a pack a day, smoking weed, taking pills , drinking, all of these combined. and well after you've had enough embarassing moments with your bb then thats all it takes. i kicked all the bad habbits & feel great about it. plan to kick the dairy too just to see how it helps. btw when i lick my wrist and sniff, all i smell is saliva? whats that about?
i also take chlorophyll, which is weird cuz im not sure if its working or not. my feet dont smell anymore , my arm pits too. also when i walk back into my room, no bad smell anymore. as for my breath well i cant smell it like i used to, but i still get nasty tastes in the back of my mouth every day so i'm sure its still there. so im not sure if its helping my body odor or if its worsening my sense of smell lol. the onlly time i can smell my breath is in the morning , and if i miss a chlorophyll dose. i know i should just ask someone how bad mmy breath smells but just sounds easier than it is
sorry for making this so long..
my possible causes. need advice? +chlorophyll
Hi there
Hi Seeviper,
No issues on your lengthy post. We all would understand your feelings.
Most of your problems are similar to mine and also to the many in this site. You have ruled out the wisdoms and tonsils. That leaves us with Sinuses and stomach disorders. I guess that the stomach is the reason for all issues.
I do not have wisdoms, no tonsils and no sinus issues (CT of sinuses said it was all normal). That leaves us with the Abdomen area and possibly the cause is the stomach.
Improper digestion and H-Pylori (& abnormal stomach flora) are generally found to be the major cause of the digestive dis-orders. BB could be caused by many things, as listed down by many in this site.
I am planning to have a CT done to my abdomen area to see what's wrong with all of the abdominal parts (like liver, pancreas, gall blader, kidneys, intestines, etc) associated with the stomach.
Will soon update you about this.
Thanks.
Harry
PS
I suffer from BB for almost 12 years now and I am now 32 years old.

harry, thanks for the response i hope the CT yields you some results!
about the stomach, is there anything i can do in the meantime that might help my digestive system? i bought some probiotics at my health food store which is labeled to be some kind of intestinal cleanser or something like that. anyway I just noticed that it made my mouth even dryer and tongue even whiter. so i stopped taking it. could have been something else though, i dunno. im going to try taking them again to see what happens.
anyway, i'm going to find a free clinic (still waiting on my health insurance) to see a doctor just to see what they can do about my sinuses. even if it costs me a pretty penny for some antibiotics, ill do it. will update on it

saw the doctor a couple days ago , about my sinuses, and came out of there with Nasonex and Zyrtec-D. Not really what I was looking for but hey it might do the trick. She said I didn't have any sinus infection becuz I was not experiencing any pain or fevers. I thought I had em due to clogged sinuses for over 2 years. anyway i'm going to give it 2 weeks. also found my blood pressure was 152! not sure what the other # was. anyway, i'm workin on that as well.
quick question, why after eating some pringles did I have the nastiest taste in my mouth after?
