Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Hello again guys,

Next week I will have to travel for about 5 hours in the same car with my boss. For 1 or maybe 2 hours, I could stay bb-free but for 5 hours it's impossible. Plus we will have to eat, and it will make everything worse. Then there is a meeting and 5 more hours of car drive back.

My current situation is, got white coat formation on my tongue, diagnosed with gastritis and esophagitis. I really need recommendations. Should I see my G.I. doc on Monday, explain him the situation and ask for antibiotics? Anyone have any methods that can keep me clean for 5 hours?

Oh honey! I think you see your doctor....do u think that he will prescribe the meds to you??? I would say first off go and get this stuff here
Aktiv-K12 ProBiotic Powder (with AO Serum) No I dont work for this company! But I tried this stuff last year and it worked while i was using it....but stop as soon as i ran out. TRY IT! Order it now and here is a coupon code that I use whrn i shop there code: brng277 it will deduct 27.00 dollars the kit is 62.00 dollars. Try it and also get the netti pot and use it before and clean your mouth with a wash cloth well before. You can also try to stop eating anything unhealthy ie: dairy, SUGAR, fried foods, soda NOW!!! and eat veggies and water. Also just remember to keep your mouth wet (water rinse with the coconut oil) and breath. I hope this help....please try the thera-breath!!


Also use the go-betweens and make sure theres is no smells stuck between those teeth......use the waterpic if u have one. gl

Hi,

there is a few things you can do to help you thru it.

obviously seeing the doc an grabbing anti biotics is worth a shot.

floss and swish with water the evening before.

ask for the car air con to be on as it "helps to reduce your dry eyes" say you always have yours on, air con will filter and clean the air

eat a bucket of mint (the kind you get in a fresh herbs bag like coriandar parsley etc) ok, not a bucket, but you get my drift, you can even pop some in your mouth and swallow whilst in the car, if you chew then make sure you rinse or you will have green bits in your teeth everywhere

drink water every 15mins or so, get a resonable sized bottle.

after you have finished eating, mouthful of water to swish suck and pull thru your teeth quite vigorously, this removes any unwanted food so it cannot sit there smelling, do this at least 3 times.

when you go to the ladies, floss if you can - do not panic if you cannot, as the swishing of water does most.

do not eat garlic or onions, or drink alcohol at all, do not eat meat 48 hours before or during that day if you can help it, do not panic if you have no choice but to eat with your boss, just say something like wow the onions must have been made with chilli, then you can leave them or something you do not want to digest, stay away from spicey foods, do not eat til you are super full and bloated, just eat a good portion, ice cream is loaded with sugar etc so leave that off the menu for that day

take sugar free chewing gum, as waiting2xhale said, use Aktiv-K12 as quite a few people say it works until you stop using it, also the waterpik is worth the time.

ask your boss open ended questions so they do all the talking, ask your boss to elaborate on topics and subjects, be inquisitive, get them to talk so you listen,

it will go quicker then you think.

@compor,
hey i was diagnosed the same and with acid reflux, dd u try to take omeprazole? that's the only med my g.i gave me and i can say i can see and noticed a positive effect but aside from that i take also progut probiotics wid 9bil gud bacteria which i think it also help, my tongue was not that much coated anymore even the day goes by,and my breath was not that warmth too, i feel clean but still i have to eat some candy but the good thing is it was not really coated anymore even if i eat candy but be sure it does not contain too much sugar.. not necessary sugarfree candy..and just this morning i had my review and attended a birthday party this afternoon. so wat i dd is i make a baking soda solution in the water just 500ml bottle and drink jst to stay as fresh as i can and i can say it dd help to neutralize the odor and i also noticed less reactions. hope this wud help u...

Thanks a lot for your suggestions, it's really nice to be able to talk about this and get help. Now I will go out and buy the necessary stuff.

aquariusgal24, my G.I. doc prescribed me the following:
Pantoprazole and Trimebutine maleate (these are the active ingredients, pharmaceutical companies might differ). To be honest, I didn't see any positive effect yet. I am almost 99% sure that my bb is resulting from gastritis and esophagitis. If I do a complete cleaning and brush/gargle with baking soda, I stay clean for a few hours. But once I eat (doesn't matter much what I eat), my bb goes out of control, I can smell it myself when I open my mouth.

Thanks again, when I'm back I will let you know about how it went.

Hello again,

Trip was much better than I expected. I avoided all kind of meat/dairy 2 days before the trip. Baking soda gargle helped a lot. Drank water whenever I felt my mouth becoming dry. At start, I thought he was covering up his nose all the time, then it turned out that I was paranoid. I had no problems at all till lunch. I felt clean and fresh which made me confident. After lunch, I didn't have time or opportunity to brush, so I remained silent on the way back, faked sleep for a while and it was done.

Terrible thing, to live in fear. I try to focus on job and other issues, as a result I care less and less about bb each passing day. This does not mean that I ignore it. On the contrary, I search for alternative methods which would help reduce bb, add reasonable ones to my routine. I just try to care less about people's reactions. This is our life, bb is a disease and it should not make us miserable.

Is the diet control really work? I'm trying to avoid eating diary products and meat, but it is quite hard to do since most of the foods are those. I'm now trying to drink a lot of water, avoid eating diary and meat product and chew parsely as much as I can and see if it works. The first few days seem work but I dont know how long I should have to keep it up. I want believe that there must have a soultion and we all got to support each other. Thanks for having this website!
