Secondly, I want to state as clearly as possible my reason for leaving. I felt like I was obsessing over my BB to a ridiculous extent by constantly checking this forum (while at work, etc.) I realized that if I didn't think about my BB constantly and didn't come home and pore over every new detail it was much easier to just ignore my problem and forget about it.
The reason I am back is because, as everyone on here seems to understand, this horrible and officially unrecognized condition continues to persist. I know I still have BB. All it takes is common sense and seeing a few very recognizable and distinct BB reactions. It's funny though, over the years I have become jaded and I almost don't care about reactions any more. Sometimes when I do notice what I consider to be a ridiculous 'over-reaction' I purposefully try to exhale a little more BB around the person. Some kind of stupid wanna-be revenge I guess.
Either way I feel like I should also share that I was recently diagnosed with peridontal disease. I really don't think this was/is the original cause of my BB, but who knows. I was reading briefly about the ileocal valve staying open theory and that seems to make a lot more sense for my "poo-smelling" breath.
From now on I will try to visit this site once a week or so to check up and hear everyone's stories and hopefully someday cures. We are all in this together, I wish we could all just go live on a commune somewhere and tell the rest of the world to f off
