Hi,
My gum periobalanve arrived today. I'm really not holding out any hope that these will work, but I'll keep you updated of any changes while I'm using them.
GUM PERIOBALANCE
Hi Snobuni,
I got my periobalance on Saturday. It came in the post. I am taking 1 a day slowly letting it dissolve on my tongue. It taste quite minty but not overpowering. It doesnt leave a white or chalky residue on my mouth which is ok.
I dont really know if it has made any difference at all. But then again its only 2 days since i have taken it.
Snobuni how many are you taking daily?
I am taking it easy because I dont want to overdo it with the probiotics.
My culturelle came in the mail also on Saturday.
I still get reactions when I speak to my boyfriend face to face.
Poor guy must have had it by now with all this. Anyways I asked him if he smelled my breath but he continues to say no. He said no then rubbed his nose. He must have smelled my breath but just pretending.
I am tired of asking him anyhow because he never tells me the truth. He probably doesnt want to hurt my feelings.
So, I am now taking culturelle plus periobalance. All this is getting too expensive. By the time I eventually get cured I will probably be bankrupt.

Drastic, some people get allergy-like reactions from us that have nothing to do with odors. Bad odors aren't allergens. Chemicals, fungi, etc can be allergens so it's possible he's scratching his nose because it's simply itching, he might be telling the truth. I've noticed that in heavy smokers, many of them have a poor sense of smell so they will only scratch their nose or cough when talking to them but they won't back away from you, it's like they can't smell you but still get allergic reactions.
All in all, nose scratching/rubbing isn't an indication of a bb unlike ppl backing away when you speak, ppl covering their face with hand, pinching their nose, offering you gums.
Anyone with me on that?

Archimonde,
I know nose scratching doesnt mean bad breath but people/children have said that I have bad breath. The type that stinks up a room. Trust me on this.
My ENT doctor told me he could smell my halitosis. He was telling the truth.
Archimonde. What does it mean when someone covers their nose when you talk or bury their face in a pillow when you talk.
I personally think my boyfriend must be lying. He has covered his nose completely when I talked. And also bury his head in the pillow. I dont think I being obssessed. He must smell it. He just doesnt want to hurt my feelings.

Hey Drastic,
I think I'm going to wait a couple of weeks til I take the periobalance, only because I stopped all my antibacterials and my breath is now TERRIBLE and the coating is alot worse. I don't know why this is, when I stopped for a few days before seeing my ENT my breath was the best it had been for a while. Anyway, I'm not going back to using them all, just going to brush my tongue with chlorhexadine twice a day and see how that goes for a week or two. Seems daft to take the probiotics then kill them all off again two hours later!!
I agree with you about how expensive this is all getting. I've had to cut back on the number of probiotics I'm taking, I'm not even sure if they're doing anything. I have ordered some biotin (more bloody money!!) and I'm taking anti-candida stuff like grapefruit seed extract and oregano oil and trying to follow an anti-candida diet, hopefully that will do something about this persistant coating on my tongue.
I know what you mean about people covering their nose and wondering what this means. I was out Saturday night with a friend and she was constantly touching her nose, but then she'd cover her mouth when she spoke too!!! She also chose to sit opposite me at the table when she could have sat opposite my partner, so does this mean she couldn't smell my bb? Either way, I was totally paranoid all night. I wish this nightmare would end.

hey Snobuni,
I am still using antibacterial mouthwash but I only use it in the morning first thing when I get up.
I gargle my throat with the mouthwash.
Then brush my teeth, gum and tongue
Then eat breakfast. After breakfast brush, floss and scrape again. No mouthwash again. I then take 1 periobalance and let it dissolve slowly on my tongue.
I then eat normal food during the day but I brush less. Musch less. I dont use mouthwash during the day only at morning and then at night. It was drying my mouth.
At night after dinner. I brush, floss, scrape and then use paroex chlorhexidine mouthwash only brush my tongue with it. Not gargle and only use a small amount.
I have cut down the amount of mouthwash I use because it was drying my mouth.
I woke up this morning and I had the most neutral taste in my mouth. I dont know what that means. But for now. The bitter taste is gone. I am glad. But I still have bad breath.
Even though I only use the mouthwash-antibacterial twice per day. My tongue still looks pink. Better than when I was using it every hour.
My bitter taste is gone. But still have bad breath based on boyfriend reactions.

Hey Snobuni,
I also have cut back on the probiotics it was all getting too expensive for me. I have stopped Holland and Barrett acidophilus it wasnt strong enough. I have also stopped Yakult as well. Bad breath and dairy should not be mixed even if it has good bacteria in it.
So all in all. I am now on
Culturelle
periobalance
multibionta
Hope I see better results with these. I started these on Saturday.

Drastic,
How many probiotics were you taking when you were taking the most? I've never taken more than 40 billion in one day, maybe I should try around 60-80 billion. I stopped the yakult too, it was coating my tongue and the sugar made me bloated. I've probably asked you this before but do you have stomach problems (constipation? candida?) Did you have a coated tongue? Do you think it's the mouthwash or probiotics that has stopped it being coated?
BTW, are you based in the U.S. or the U.K?
Larc400,
I think my periobalance is a lozenge, like blis was.

Snobuni,
i was taking roughly 40 billion. I have just cut down because it was too expensive. I used to have really good bowel movements not costipation. But of late I have been having bowelmovements every other day instead of everyday. So, I stopped taking the yakult. All that sugar made me feel like that.
I think its probiotics which helped my tongue. Yes, I suffer from candida, white tongue but now its not so white more pink. I think its definately probiotic not mouthwash. Infact when used antibacterial mouthwash to gargle at night just befor bed I would get up in morning with very very whit tongue like coated. But since taking probiotic even though I use mouthwash at night it is more pink and less coated.
I am in the UK. I just found out that not all salt in UK is iodised salt because the government has not madeit compulsory.
Larc, Snobuni is correct. Periobalance is a lozenge that you slowly dissolve onto your tongue. Its not a gum. You can get the gum in America and Sweden.
