does anyone personally have a real way to know when their breath smells fecal? i'm not talking a guess either. a lot of people say their breath smells fecal but i wonder how they really know.

i've learned other people's reactions aren't always what we think...

taste doesn't work...

and has anyone noticed that all the happy people on the therabreath testimony page are married or in a relationship? it's like if you have a tester you are more likely to be successful cuz you know the truth.

My students would say... "Who farted?" or "It smells like butt!" Moms in my mommy group would constantly check their little one's diapers, and say, "Someone pooped."

Yeah, im much the same is "tiredofit", i only know through people saying "who farted" or thinking their kids have dirty nappies, god it really pisses you off after a while, especially when i have been through my usual 15 minute ritual in the bathroom and im eating gum!!!

I can never, ever smell it and sometimes my mouth feels really fresh, the only time i can kinda smell it is in the morning, but my ex partner had shitty breath in the morning too and it didnt bother me. it would go away once he had had a cup of tea or brushes his teeth, whereas i felt as if mines didnt. Although he never ever mentioned it, he just used to get pissed off at me when he would go to kiss me and i would say "wait till i brush my teeth". i can understand why, kinda kills the passion somewhat!

If i do a lick test it doesnt smell, since finding this site i have tried touching my tonsils, i cant smell anything from that either. im really at a loss as to where the hell its coming from. it would be really good if somebody could invent a machine that told you what exactly it smells like, haha! I was convinced for years, that it must be coming from my stomach because my dental hygeine was so good, Jan De Vrys (homeopath) said it comes from your liver and he prescribed me "milk thistle" and "peppermint". that didnt work either.

I have friends who can sit up all night drinking and they smoke too, in the morning if we are still up, im in the bathroom brushing, scraping and their breath smells fine, i hate that!!!

what are both of your daily routines and what are your sypmtoms?

i have pnd and i mouth breath at night. my routine is: smartmouth toothpaste and brush my palate, gums, and teeth (concentrate on back); then tung two times; then dioxirinse for two minutes after letting it concentrate in solution; and finally i clean each tonsil twice with swish mouthwash on a q-tip.

after doing this i wake up in the morning with a pink tongue (even this morning!!), and it stays that way most of the day until i drink juice or have an allergy to something like the mice in our lab. i get a horrible runny nose and pnd from the mice and cigarettes too.

i feel like my bb comes for the pnd sitting in my throat. i made an appt with the allergist and am hoping i can get it ablated all together.

ok my daily routine is after breakfast i drink a vitamin c drink, i brush, floss, tung and use Dentyl PH mouthwash. (only got my tung last week so im loving that). i used to scrape before that so this is much better. i brush and use mouthwash maybe 3 times a day, depending on what im doing. i constantly eat gum, although since sucking chewable vitamin c ive stopped chewing gum. gum didnt really help,just made me feel a bit better. i suck on chewable vitamin c now, constantly throughout the day (60mg). i dont know if its helping my mouth feels clean, but to be honest my mouth always has been clean. i went to see an ent 2 weeks ago and he told me my breath doesnt smell, all he could smell was a bit of garlic from my lunch, haha. So i dont know if the vit c has been helping, for my next visit he wants me to stop the vit c. he is reluctant to do a tonsilectamy until he he has looked into other possibilities. i think he probably thinks its all in my head. so again at night i brush, floss, tung and mouthwash.

i dont have a big problem with coating on my tongue so my tongue is pretty pink mosttly anyway.

ive not hard any fart comments for a while now, i get them especially when im out drinking. Saying that it never seems to stop me getting a snog at the end of the night. Maybe sometimes its worse than others, im usually in the pub toilet swishing with mouthwash, people think i am insane!!! my lates tthing is sucking vit c the whole time im out. i think its helping with the hangovers too!!!

Haha, I'd be using that thing every hour.

"How does my breath smell now?"

Machine: "Like shit."
