Bb through nose and mouth (toxic smell) - Thoughts please!?
Posted: Mon Apr 18, 2011 12:12 pm
Hi, Firstly thank god I found this site. I've been getting so low about my bb recently, and just finding this site has gave me a little more hope.
Basically I get intermittant bb through both my nose and mouth...you can smell it from about a metre away without me even speaking. I say its intermittant as I only get this 3 times a month and it lasts about 2 days a time.
Obviously my first thought was food, I cut all sorts out of my diet. The usuals they tell you plus more, but it didn't change the pattern at all! My dentist has said I have no problems with my teeth...which makes sense as the smell is just as bad from my nose.
My doctor recently gave me some nasal steroids to try to open up my sinuses as he thought they may be causing it...but a month later still no luck!!](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall")
The smell seems to subside slightly if I take these sinus drops I bought from Therabreath, it seems to cut the length of time that the smell lasts for...but doesn't prevent it. Also, there is no way of me telling I have the bb apart from hen I'm home to ask my partner...so I don't know when to take them!
I've also tried the baking soda toothpaste, hydrogen peroxide gargle that some people have mentioned on here but I still have no improvement. My partner says its a toxic smell, other times I have the 'poo' smell others have mentioned. But that goes away with a quick gargle of hydrogen peroxide mixed with water so I'm not too concerned about that.
This really is ruining my life, so if anyone has any ideas for me to try, or has a similar story...please let me know! Would be great to hear from you!
