sorry to be graphic, but i was wondering if there is anything related between these two. i sh*t an abnormal amount of time per day, probably about 6 or 7 and almost always immediatewly after eating, and has been like this for years as far as i can remeber. and of course it isnt supposed ot smell of roses but mine just smells foul. could it be related to my bb? like an overload of nacteria or something
i had a parasite test a few fews back that camee back egative, but my nutritionist did say its not always 100% accurate
well, just hoping.
ayone else have same problem?
bb and bowel movements

I think you probably just have a high metabolism macks86, which causes you to have more frequent bowel movements. As far as the foul smell, it's probably something in your diet that's causing it. Try taking chlorophyll supplements, they are pretty good at deodorizing things in that regards, or you could try eliminating certain foods until you find the culprit as to what's making your bowel movements smell foul.
I would imagine that frequent bowel movements would actually relieve bad breath rather than cause it.
It's no secret that constipation can lead to bad breath because the waste just sits in the intestines and rots, causing bacteria and yeasts to multiply which in turn release toxins into the body.
To be candid, I usually have a bowel movement in the morning when I wake up, and maybe one more time sometime during the day or evening, but I've never been able to have more than 3 a day (unless I was sick and had diarrhea or something, which is not a good thing). Back before I changed my lifestyle around, I used to go 3 or 4 days without having a bowel movement sometimes. It was very unhealthy and I always felt bloated. But when I changed my diet and lifestyle around, I started having regular bowel movements everyday. Basically I drink at least 2 liters of water per day, exercise, and eat a lot of fiber (primarily from brown rice) and that seems to do the trick.

Hi,
I think you should get it checked out. It's not normal to go to the loo that often and the fact you're going directly after you eat suggests it's a reaction. My husband had the same symptoms for about three years, lost weight and in the end got very ill before he was diagnosed with crohns disease. And his breath was bad while he was ill, now there's no problem at all. I'm not saying that's what you've got but bad breath can be caused by something going inside your stomach. Hope that helps without worrying you.

I think they are related
I have similar symptoms like what macks86 described. I also strongly believe that this is related to halitosis.
The reason being, I tried Probiotics around four months back for the first time to cure my bad breath.
And I found out that, this has not only cured my bad breath (though temporarily) but it also cured my bowel movement. This lasted for around 3 weeks and after
that the old symptoms started to appear. As soon as my bb reappeared, I also started to have bowel movement.
macks86, are you still having bb and bowel movement.

hi thanks for replies
ayidinmur, i am 24 and have had this as long as my bb i guess, since about 13/14. problem not familial. stool usually wet, with a horrendous smell. no problems digesting. eat very well. no sugar/ dairy/ wheat/ try and avoid meats, red meats at least. only have vitamans. i was tested for parasites a couple of years back but was negative so my nutritionist just said it was normal. how to i investiage this further?

hi 13/14 was when i was first awar eof my bb, so its been about 10/11 years
no abnormal neurologicla disorders i can think of, ecept very nervous generally becuase of being aware of BB. no drug i use everday, no amino acid or protein pills, pretty much the same food most days, no idea what my stool ph is. do not smoke cigars or take alchol, if i take alchol my breat immeadiately smells fecal, no digestive problems i think think of...for exmaple?

Sorry to go off the subject slightly here.
Murat, I think you could help a lot of people on here if they could be seen by you in person.
What are the feasibilites of this happening? I've been saying it to myself for years how much this problem needs an expert just like you to help pinpoint a person's individual cause.
Sorry if this has all been mentioned and made clear already, I just felt I needed to ask the question because so far I havent seen anything on this.

Murat, thanks for your reply.
We should try making a petition to the UK NHS to ask for a dedicated centre to be established for people with seemingly incalcitrant breath and body odour problems - at least to raise awareness and bring it to attention. Ask them to look at this website and other related sites, etc.
This isnt just about odours, its about serious mental torture. Only someone who goes through this experience knows the impact it has.
We have a right to care and to the same dignity as ALL other illnesses and maladies. We're totally on our own and this isnt right. We get passed around because nobody want the burden and responsibilty of getting involved in and wasting resources on something regarded as a cosmetic issue which can be difficult to determine the cause of, once initiated.
And yet, even so, look at how many cosmetically related issues are dealt with for FREE in the health service - PURELY because enough attention was raised at some point. But who complains about ODOURS? NOBODY does because this crushing problem just creates despair upon despair as our spirits are broken with each new disappointment.
I'm not asking for research, im asking for a facility like all other facilities in the health service - where you can walk in and be assessed, and whatever diagnostics it is determined that we need, WE GET.
There are so many different causes of BB. Most people on here probably dont need any miraculous discoveries to be made in medicine for their cure. Just someone with the right expertise to go through all the likely possibilites one by one, until the cause is stumbled upon. And if not then at least you know where you stand and be able to accept this situation and know that you've done everything possible.

Very well said Halitosisux and thankyou Aydinmur for your continual comments on topics.
Mental torture is a very accurate way of describing this condition.
I would hate to go through my whole life and find out towards the end that the cause of my BB could have been easily cured by an expert (not like all the phony doctors I have seen to date).
I can only dream, how different life would be!

Halitosisux,
You are absolutely right. What I have learned since I joined this forum a few days ago is that bad breath is devilishly difficult to diagnose and that most doctors and dentists know absolutely nothing about it. Body chemistry is one of the most complicated things in the universe. Einstein's theory of relativity is simple by comparison. It is no wonder that doctors don't even want to bother with it. And most doctors have sh*t for brains and couldn't even cure themselves if their lives depended on it! So all of us are left with an intractable problem that is destroying our lives. We are wandering in the wilderness, in the shadows, in isolation, alone for the most part and with no one to help us. Sometimes I think it would take the power of God to help us, but this help is not forthcoming. Yes, it would be nice if the medical community would establish clinics for the purpose of diagnosing BB cases and effecting cures which actually work as it is with other diseases and conditions such as diabetes. But don't hold your breath (so to speak). They won't do it. They don't even want to hear about it. They just tell you to brush your teeth and use a mouthwash.
In the meantime life is passing us by. The bacteria have won.
