Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Lorazepam,

Can you describe what your odor is like??

Is it a fecal smell, rotten eggs or a dirty feet/sock kind of smell?? Does the smell extend far when you speak, or is it bad only to who your talking to or bad to whomever is standing right in front of you?



My odor is like a combination of a dirty sock and fecal smell that extends pretty far when I speak. If I do a ton of stomach crunches or take at least 400 mg of vit D, it changes to a rotten egg smell. So weird.

I may give this a try. What can it hurt. Lemons are 33 cents at my grocer.

I've also tried lemons in the past, and it certainly "feels" like the BB improves.

Some of us may have low stomach acidity, and we should try to confirm it by getting a 24h pH test done via a gastroenterologist. I've tried in the past but they don't take BB seriously

@ lorazepam, do you have tonsil stones and nasal BB or PND? I tried taking probiotics before but my BB didn't improve at all.

Any other people who had success with lemon juice? For me it seems not to work, maybe because I don´t know of any stomach problems.

reading this 3d at first I thought about lemon cleaning lingual tonsils while going down the throat.
however it's also true that lemon balances acidity in the stmoch as it's a basic solution.
what do you regard as the more logical hypothesis

after some considerations I'm pretty convinced about my first hypothesis (lemon cleaning the throat, specifically lingual tonsils).

for a while I was led to believe I had stomach problems, which are related to a too high acidity in the stomach. I've experimented acidity 'reducer' products. the BB was even worse cause it was a combination of BB plus the product smell.
that's a pretty obvious sign to me that part of the product was 'stuck' in the throat.

it's worth to stress the fact lemon in the stomach doen's not increase acidity in the stomach, on the countrary it reduced acidity.

I'm going to try the lemon approach and I'll keep u update.

Lemon does help alot, more than anything for me really. People use lemon all the time to decrease fishy odor. This makes me think we may not be producing odor neutralizers in our saliva. I think bad bacteria in the gut, tonsils, plaque, etc. are all natural but we just don't have the enzymes or natural odor neutralizers in our saliva to combat the bad smell. You keep hearing about people who have ulcers, tonsil stones, gingivitis but they don't complain about bad breath. And you read and hear about normal people having bad breath only when they wake up, smoke or drink..the times when they have less saliva. It just seems logical our problem has to do with our saliva or what we are lacking in our saliva.

i totally agree with you seanlee1980... we have the same theory....

if it were due to our saliva i wouldn't have perfect breath during certain periods of time.

lorazepam could u please specify how much lemon juce and how much water you drink each time? thanks.

Larc,
Glad to see you are still around. This girl on you tube has a video about how Molybdenum aids thiols and sulfur smells. Please take a look . Thanks.

is the lemon method still working for people?
