What regimen or methods are you currently trying 2 rid ur bb

I find with a devastating problem like this I'm most hopeful when I'm comparing and researching symptoms and regimens and comparing them with what others are using with my same symptoms.

***What has helped me a little is vitamin c, d and a. (When taking it daily my strong 30 feet vapor bb changes to a rotten egg smell, which is a bit reduced believe it or not lol). I’d been taking them every day for at least 3 months and stopped the last couple of weeks to try something else. Its interesting though when I first started taking them the change in smell happened within a week or so but the rotten egg smell remained.

***Also someone suggested trying plain Dannon yogurt (rather than probiotic capsules/powder) – which I always feared because its dairy food. Been using it 7 days now. I wanna try it for at least another month to see if there’s any improvement.

Raw diet
I tried to start the raw veggie diet on Sunday but by evening was dying to have a little more of something else. So for dinner I added a piece of salmon, with asparagrus and brown rice and the following morning for breakfast had fruit.

I know I could come up with better raw food recipes but I don’t have much money so this is my poor man’s version of a better diet:

What I wanna try and stick to is this or a variation:***Breakfast: 2 Bananas, 1 apple
***Lunch: One large spinach salad containing cucumber, tons of shreaded carrots, red cabbage, avocado (luv avocado!)
***Dinner: salmon, ½ cup brown rice, Steamed asparagus, Green salad (w/carrots, cucumbers)

Gerd and constant phlegm in back of throat
I read on another website a while back that a sufferer who had a hiatel hernia and Gerd was cured or bb greatly reduced when he made a conscious effort to not lie down for 3 hours after eating. (Harder than you think especially if you’re a night eater or snacker.)

He explained that per his doctor this was enough time to empty the stomach which means no reflux overnight. Because there is no reflux, there is no irritation in the throat and therefore no release of as much mucus as a reaction. He said this greatly reduced his bb and the reactions reduced or went away and the mucous or phlegm did also.

I don’t have a hiatel hernia, but I do have Gerd and constant phlegm in my throat that I assumed was pnd. I do tend to lie down and watch tv after eating when home so I’m definitely giving this a go.

Mouthwash/Toothpaste

***I use diluted hydrogen peroxide, with crest toothpaste (brush/floss/gargle 3x a day with long 10 min. gargles)

Water
Drink two litters of water every day – always room temperature

Me, i'm taking antibiotics, prilosec & I included pepto for 10th day now but I don't see any improvement about my bb but I have to finish it maybe a miracle will happen after I finish the 2 weeks medication. After I finish the meds I'll go back to the doctor coz they took blood sample of me to find out if I have h. Pylori bacteria. If I have h. Pylori I'll ask the doc to prescribe me helidac. If I don't I'll try the bentonite clay and maybe diet also. I did egetariN diet for 3 weeks but didn't see any improvement. Today I bought a gallon of alkaline water it cost me $2, pretty expensive so I may not continue that. Good choice about the avocado, I start eating avocado for a couple of days now. Avocado could be the cure for bb in time. if you keep eating it because avocado is one of the best natural mouth wash and a remedy for bad breath. It is effective in removing intestinal putrefactions or decomposition which are the real cause of a coated tongue and this unpleasant condition.
so yeah you gotta love avocado if you don't, start loving it.

have an avo tree at home n its avo c-zon. Bb amplified 10 million X when i ate an avocado. Boiling the leaves and drinking makes for an awesome sugarfree tea, though... Different floras anyway

@musiclady : do you literally eat the spinach raw? as in, uncooked, unboiled, unsteamed???

Chubbygirl: Yes the baby leaves. They come in a pack type thing (I forget the brand name) but its usually in the vegetable section in a store. They also have mesculen greens, lettuce in the same type of pack.

Regarding the avocado that's the one light at the end of a dark tunnel that it taste good AND its health properties of course.

Like the 2nd poster I tested positive for h.pylori once, was on antibiotics, it cleared up the h.pylori, but unlike other sufferers who've gotten relief from there bb, I never did. It never left. I've gone back at least 3 times to re-test but they all have come back negative.

Post an update if you can on how you make out with your test and treatment.

Misic Lady,

If you like fruit, you should try papaya. Google it and see how to buy it (ripeness - should be turning yellow) and how to slice it. Papaya not only tastes good, but it has an enzyme, Papayne, that allows your body to absorb all the nutrients from the other food you eat. That makes it very good for the digestive process, and if the bad breath originates from the digestive tract, papaya may help.
