so riqht away i made and apt with ENT dr. went to the appointment he examen me said everthing was normal nothing that can be causing the problem. he then was informing me about how he read and article on bad breath etc and he even told me that he couldnt detect any bad breath while talking to me and we were talking really close to each other. all he gave me was Mucinex to clear mucus. =/
i brush/floss everything to clean mouth clean. i do many test and see if my breath is kicking like lick wrist/ i try to lick my writst with the back of my toung and i dont smell anything.

Everyone suffers from BB from time to time, and its all to easy if your self-esteem is low to fall into the trap of thinking that your breath situation or whatever else you hate about yourself is so much worse than it really is, based on another person's careless or innocent comment or action, and thereby distorting your mind's perception of something that we have NO WAY of knowing for sure of, so its feeding on your negativity. So for this you are now latched into this negative viewpoint of yourself, like looking in the mirror and hating what you see of yourself based on distorted and unrealistic self-perception.
Until you have some definitive answers then read all about halitophobia and consider carefully whether or not this may apply to you.
Read through the forum and make a list of every possible cause that you can relate to and work your way through them. There is no easy way out of this, so dont waste your time trying to mask it with bullshit products that claim to cure BB. Its about finding the underlying cause and getting it dealt with, not masking it. But be clear of your situation before doing anything else.
re: halitosisux
the reason why i think i have bb is because when i exhale air from the back of my throat and close my mouth really fast i qet a bad odor. any ideah why?

When you can be bothered to try to explain more clearly then you might get more of a response.
When you say you get a really bad odour when you breathe out, do you mean that your nose can pick it up in the same way as when you are eating something and the air passes up into the nose as part of taste perception, or do you mean you can smell it in the air once you've breathed out by breathing the foul odour back in again?
@jollibee1208 I dont think you quite understand my point on halitophobia. I'm not saying anyone in particular is halitophobic. I'm saying that halitophobia is very real and while BB remains something we have no way of being able to smell for ourselves in the same way that another person would be able to smell us, we have to ALWAYS consider halitophobia as a possibility, no matter how certain we feel that we have BB and how ppl around us are dropping like flies from the stench we assume we are producing.
I know that some people are able to smell another person's BB while others apparently cant, but there might be very simple explanations for this, such as variations in the sensitivity and function of the sense of smell between different people, familiarization from constant close proximity with that person(the most unlikely) or that person's own low-levels of similar bacterial gas production rendering them unable to distinguish anyone else's BB gas. Lets keep it in perspective - when there's a smell of farm or sewer shit in the air, EVERYONE can smell it.
Jollibee, some people are more tolerant and understanding and caring than others. Your BB might not be anything like as bad as you think it is and your friend who doesnt react is only doing so to avoid hurting your feelings. Yet others can be absolute bastards over nothing. I see people with awful BB all the time and people dont DARE react out of the fear of making it obvious to that particular person and hurting their feelings or whatever the personal relationship reasons might be. Some people are just plain embarrassed of acknowledging the smell. Sometime that happens when someone secretly farts around a group of people, they sometimes just stay cool and pretend not to notice.
