Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Recently I always feel starving. I still remember since I got my bb, I always feel hungry but I have 6 heavy meals each day in these two weeks. I look skinny compare to other people. I've asked three doctors few yrs ago about whether I have parasite in my body, all of them think its impossible and don't willing to check for it. I'm wondering how many people here has same situation.

After these yrs, I think I can sort out something which may be the reason I got bb.

Hormone
took too much antibiotics
infected by other people
immune system
parasite
genetic problem

So if the above hypothesis are right, there shouldn't be any mouthrinse or single simple product can help us. If its related to bad bacteria in our body, more we use the highly concentrated mouthrinse, more hard to get rid of the bacteria. Its just my hypothesis, pls correct me if I'm wrong.

Starving again~~~~~~~~~

Actually I feel more like I'm always not hungry, I think I can easily do with one meal a day. But of course I don't do this, because I know it's not healthy.

I only feel not hungry when I have quite serious depression due to this bb problem. Do you have sleeping problem, busted?

I only feel not hungry after a bargain bucket of 14 from the KFC.

hahahaha @ hungrygirl.


i tend to overeat - sometimes i do feel unusually hungry - and weirdly when i took the L salivarius, i got very hungry initlally. the mastic seemed to have done the same thing to me when i first started esp. i still feel like i'm more hungry than when i didn't take it, but i don't know if it's in my head.

I don't feel hungry all the time. I could go a whole day with only a slice of bread in the morning and not even feel hunger (and of course I do have bb).
However this problem you have is a symptom to many diseases, you may indeed have some parasite so you better check it out.

Not really, It does take at least 2 to 3 hours before I fall asleep, but I don't wake up until morning.

Me too, I can easily skip lunch if I wanted to. Are you underweight noptical? Do you know what your BMI is?

I'm always hungry and always have been! I was always told that I had a fast metabolism because I'd always been thin. In my early teens I started eating buns and french breads for reliefrom BB evenif for half an hour. the bread seemed to absorb all the toxins before they were back in full force. i was able to do this for some years until i started putting on the weight in my late 30s. Now I try to exercise and I do only 'good'carbs and my weight is not too bad. The BB never changed during these years although I think it got worse (I was less able to control it) - it was always there...until I went on the TT and then the mastic...

My BMI is 22.4 so fairly normal.

BMI Categories:

Normal weight = 18.5-24.9
Overweight = 25-29.9
Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater

I dont really think I am underweight (asked others too ), maybe a weeee bit (mostly due to losing ~3kgs in the last months because of unbelievably shitty eating schedule).
I also have strange metabolism (which is the same as my brother's who doesn't have bb or any health problems for that matter), I can eat as much as I want and not gain weight at all (I need to eat A LOT and I mean A LOT to have the slightest gain in weight) + I need to eat REALLY shitty to lose any weight. I never really had any sight of fat at all mainly because of my metabolism and because I work(ed) out a lot.

My height is ~1,75m and my weight normally is ~65kg so that makes my BMI=65/1,75^2 = 21,2 (isn't BMI w/h^2?)

KC, i feel exactly the same way, i never say know to eat even if i allready ate before. If i´m 8 or more hours without eat something i start to feel my strenght goes away and i feel tired. I always think i have a metabolism that spends to much (like a car with a big engine), or that i don´t asymilate food so good as others.

I can eat as much us i want without gain weight. btw i eat more than people with more weight than me.

i´m 1,85 tall and weight 71kg (i gain 3kg for working out, before 68 )

But hey, if this has nothing to do with bb i think we´re lucky

I don't remember seeing this when it first posted... but I have similar symptoms as OP. I can eat what I want and not gain weight. I can eat way more than it looks like my body can handle. Problem is when I eat too much my stomach feels heavy, and I feel slow digestion... but I can still be hungry at the same time!

I also work out, and gain muscle in areas, but still look slim. (not skeleton bony, but slim... most girls think I have the perfect body!) Thanks BB for giving me nice bod!

i'm always hungry as well.. and i'm also a really small guy with a fast metabolism


i work out atthe gym 4 or 5 times a week, weight training..

i've also thought many times that i may have a parasite or something.. how else could i be eating so much and yet not gain a pound.. i feel like i'm in a constant battle to just keep weight.. i eat 5 or 6 times a day.. not huge meals, but usually more than a sandwich size portion

i'm 5'7" and weigh about 122lbs .. i'm very toned and have an awesome chest and biceps, but i can't gain weight for the life of me..

Who are we suppose to believe anyways

There are so-called specialists who say that eating stimulates the saliva flow and so most likely your bb will reduce after you ate something.

Then there are other so-called specialists e.g. Katz who say that eating certain foods will feedproteins to the bacteria on your tongue and throat area.

I found that eating actually makes it worse, so I believe the second one more than the first. But wtf it looks like the two theories are contradictory.

not to mention that every other specialist is confident in their own reason for bb.. i don't think there's any hope for bb sufferers until the medical world can agree.. now i understand there are several factors to bb, and probably several key locations in the body, but you have one specialist claiming bad breath is all in the tongue.. while others will say it's strictly back of the throat.. others condemn the sinuses and even the stomach..

i wish they could get their pride out of their crumby products and admit that they aren't exactly experts in the subject..

In my case, i found that eat helps me to minimize bb (some food are more benefical than others)

my worst breath is when i wake up, and i have to eat something and drink water or sometthing to minimize it.

as day goes by, i eat something and thats the moment with less odor, and it slowly grows in strenght as time goes by, until i eat again.... and i drink a lot of water too.

Neither helps me to do all the clean proceedment (brush, floss,mouthwash,etc...) and keep without eat nothing cause is like i feel like my mouth has no taste, only the bad taste mixed with tootpaste or something like that...

So i clean, but half hour or an hour i eat something. In my case is just like i need to give some taste to my mouth, even if it seems to feed de bugs....
