Most IBS sufferers have BB
Posted: Wed Jun 10, 2009 3:31 am
Hey everyone,
around 2 months ago I was doing a lil research on how/whether ibs is related to bb, and if so what ibs sufferers experience, so I joined an ibs website, and in the forum section I did a search on ibs and badbreath, and believe it or not there were hundreds of pages with ibs members talking about having bb, so I copied some, but finally got tired, here are a few of those comments by IBS sufferers with bb problems. oh and they were actually longer, but I only copied those parts where they mentioned having bb, so hope it helps in any way possible.
"(i digress often sorry) in the month i took it, diflucan helped end my constipation as well as the chronic bad breath i had forever though admitedly the breath could be from being so dehydrated all the time. since i stoped taking it the constipation seems to be back. i hope its not permanent. anyway, what are your other symptoms other than the tongue coating?
Well after a month on the candida diet(i did cheat three different days but mostly stayed on it very strictly) as well as acidophillus, running nightly, threelac, Grapefruit seed extract, UltraGarlic(which i dont take everyday), Candida clear(by nsi not sure about its effectiveness but i take it anyway), and diflucan(two weeks so far) my bad breath is gone. FBO is gone 80% of the time. the leaky gas comes and goes. in the last three days iv had it for about 4 hours total. usually a while after eating bread(whole wheat but thats still not good).
hi, just read your story and know what your going through, I suffer with IBS and lately its got worse, I dont have the sensitive tongue but I suffer with bad breath which is the hardest thing to cope with me, I went to my dentist who done xrays and every possible test he said my teeth and gums were perfect and to go and see my GP my GP give me colpermin with peppermint oil but these have not worked and I am at my wits end.
Hi There,
I'm new to all of this and I have had IBS for some years now, but over the past two years it has got worse!! I have gained weight and also my tongue has been really sensitive (stinging and bad breath) recently. I have had a lot of family stress over the past two years with illness and when I get stressed it just comes on like there is no tomorrow, I feel I have no quality of life at present. Is there anyone who has the problem with their tongue being sensitive and also bad breath.
Thanx
By the way, I forgot to mention in my post that since my stomach problems began I've had the most horrific bad breath in spite of great oral hygiene. It really sucks especially when you're in a relationship. And another thing comes to mind is when I'm having dinner with my friends and we're eating like a pizza or something.
I have been taking medication for the GERD, and sometimes Imodium for the diarrhea. This medication is helping heaps but, I haven't had this bad breath before.
Am I alone with this problem?
thickthigh's thread about a doctor saying it is all in our heads got me wondering how i could ask a friend/relative if i do smell? i'm certain i do from all the reactions i get, but now that i've fixed my gas/ibs problems i never can smell anything myself. i find i can even control my gas just fine. is this lg? fbo? just really bad bo??? bad breath? heh all of the above?
The other thing I notice when I'm having longer flare ups is bad breath; they type that is like when you were a kid and fell asleep after eating candy. You wake up with this nasty soured feeling in your mouth. That's how I wake up in the mornings in the midst of a flare up and lingers into the day.
bad breath or unpleasant taste in the mouth (16-63%) were
found in three of these four studies to be more common among IBS patients,"
