Re: I'm cured- saline solution

For most people with chronic bad breath(without dental problems) the actual issue are gastrointestinal diseases, especially silent reflux. Most don't know they have it because usually it does not have the classic symptoms of GERD. Silent reflux disturbs the mouth flora by changing mouth PH, secretion of throat and nasal mucus which bacteria adheres to, and emission of sulphurous gases from intestines. When you rinsed with saline you cleared the mucus and bacteria, but once you stopped it came back because you didn't actually solved the underlying issue.
I had the same experience, gargling and rinsing with saline water three times a day, greatly improves my breath and removes the constant bad taste in mouth. If I stop for a few days it slowly comes back.
Personally I know I got silent reflux, my symptoms are irritated throat (feels like burning or needles), permanent bad taste in mouth(sour/bitter), extreme bad breath(sometimes it feels like the room itself smells), heavy tongue coating, nasal congestion.
Treatment for GERD doesn't help in any form it actually make it worse.
The only actual "cure" I found is an extreme diet:
For 1 month I only ate:
white rice (only 3 tbsp per meal), chicken, fish, carrots, bell peppers, canned mushrooms, black olives, clementine(just hafl). All cooked not raw (except clementine)
For condiments I only used salt and green herbs (no black pepper, no spice mixes, no sauces)
Drinks: water only
As oral hygiene: brushing, tongue scraping, salt+baking soda mouthwash 2-3 times a day (no regular mouthwash, I found most irritate my throat and esophagus)
The idea was to remove any food or drink that irritates gut or has the potential to ferment in intestines and create gases.
After 2 weeks it eliminated about 70% of my symptoms and at 1 month I had complete resolution, from bad breath to nasal congestion, they all went away.
Unfortunately, I can't adhere to such diet, when I introduced any other kind of food(especially processed foods, fruits, cruciferous vegetables, raw salads, peanuts, gluten, diary, coffee, teas) I got symptoms again.
So the only cure are extreme diets, most of stomach issues are related to intolerances and malabsortion, since everyone is different you have to identify the culprits.
