Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I recently saw my gastrologist and I asked him if a lot of people with gerd complain about bad breath and he said yes. He went on to explain that when the valve or opening between your esophagus and stomach stays open than the gases can emitt odor out of our mouths. This may be why I have bad breath because my opening is always open due to a hiatal hernia. But I had bb before the h. hernia as well, just not as bad. I'm scheduled for a tonsillectomy this Friday, then I may get surgery on my stomach as well. I'm not messing around anymore with mouthwashes or any other crap. I'm tired of it - hence my name.

ps. just wrote a well known psychic (she's legit) and ask if she could help us. She's out of the office until Mon. You could find her at www.postcardsfomheaven.com She specializes in contacting the spirit world, but she my be able to help us. My friend went to her, didn't tell her a thing about herself, and Michele Renee knew all about her already. Not sure she could help us with bb, but she may have some insight as to why God has given us this brutal challenge. Maybe we should all write to her, and that would encourage her to help us.

ps. I know most of you are skeptical about psychics - if so, ignore the last ps. I'm just trying all avenues...

if she happens to get into contact with the big fella can she ask him to leave a message in this thread...

Tiredofit,

A couple of years ago i visited Jan De Vries, i dont know if you know of him, he is a famous homeopath. Anyway his theory was that my BB was coming just the way you described, from the tummy (turns it it wasnt for me). So ill tell you what he prescribed for me, you may as well try it (if you havent already):

First Visit he prescribed :15 drops peppermint Complex (before meals 2 times a day)
15 drops Milk Thistle (after meals 2 times a day)

Second Visit he prescribed : 15 drops centaurium (before meals 2 times a day)
15 drops chelidonium (after meals 2 times a day)

I certainly felt better throughout this time so im sure it wont do any harm to try it.

The taste in my mouth changes when my stomach is full of air (= when I'm about to burp). Don't know if this is normal or a sign of an open valve?

(I don't have acid reflux.)
