Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

ok i have had bb for about 14 years, 26 now, first became aware around 12, but maybe have had it before.

i have tried every product known to man, visit so many professionals, dentists, doctors, bb specialist (apparently) had one imbedded wisdom tooth removed, had 3 sinus operations to irriagte. and still bb

i can only now think it is my stomach;

here are my symptons would appreciate some helpful feedback

my bb is like chronic morning breath, that heavy foggy bad breath smell, but when i eat anything especially sugar it turns fecal.

(makes me thinks its bacteria overgrowth as sugar is huge bacteria trigger)

thick slimy mouth, even after brushing

severe PND and headache

feceas is very wet and go often, and also smells incredilby bad, (sorry) - i know its going to smell pleasant but its very very bad - and its this that makes me almost certain its stomach problem.

also all my dentists say my oral hygene is perfect but i have noticed my enamal has got incredibly thin over the past years. i do not take or limit anything acidic so its certainly not that- i read that it could be result from stomach problem where the acid rises????

im so lost.no idea what to do or how to confirm where this is coming from. doctors are so bullshit as soon as you say you read something off internet they immediately dismiss.

how can i confirm this is from stomach and where do i go from here?

i eat very well at moment and generally have, no sugar, lots of fruit and veg, wholegrains, no coffee or caffine, no alchol etc. i dont know what more to do......

any help?

cheers

And yet another person whose bb started at the onset of puberty, there are so many of us here with a similar story, that can't be a coincidence.

Have you had any stomach tests?

i few years ago i did a candida test, but it was online where i had to post my stool sample it came back negative, but i wasnt sure how good test it was.

i dont know how ot get other tests. if i ask doctor in uk they just say stop self diagnosing...

Sounds like you have an intolerance to a food you're eating perhaps. Do you get stomach cramps at all? Or really gassy?

Have a read about LPR, the thick sticky mucous could be caused by some acid getting up into the back of your mouth and even nose. I'm pretty sure this is whats happening to me, I get tonsil stones occasionally. Do you?

At the moment I am avoiding acidic foods, and cutting out all dairy as it really makes my mucous thick.

Also going to try some DGL licorice as its supposed to coat the throat and stop acid damaging the throat so I'm hoping after I clean my tonsils and arches at back of throat that my bad breath will diminish so long as no acid is coming up.

have you considered that maybe youve had BB forever but was too naive as a kid, to realise, then when you got self concious at 12 you realised? ive had mine before puberty, before i was 12. But when I was about 13 I started to worry about it
