Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Please try this, maybe some of you will feel a difference:

-Squeeze half a lemon in a little bit of water.

-Swallow it quickly, trying to avoid tooth contact.

-Do this before bed, and after meals.

I guess the idea behind it is that for a small % of us, maybe the BB comes from the stomach after all. Maybe due to too low gastric acid, leading to food fermenting, with the stench leaking up through the lower esophageal sphincter.

Adding anything acidic may counteract that, temporarily(?)


Let me know if you notice any difference, especially in the mornings.

thx larc, i will buy some lemons tomorrow

I do it just about everynight! ( to help me drink water) But No help here, actually causes me to have heartburn! :-(

Lemon may not work for everyone because some people get food stuck in their tonsils. If food builds up in your tonsils, you can get tonsil stones. Bad breath or a sensation that something is stuck in the back of your throat is an indication that you may have stones. Tonsil stones usually go away on their own, buy you can use a Q-tip to help it along. If you have tried to get rid of bad breath to no avail, you may be suffering from tonsil stones.

Tonisl removed i 08.....havent seen one since! bb still here. thnxs anyway.
