I'm new in this forum and have chosen this place to explain my symptoms and my history.
I'm 21 years old and just before summer I noticed people started to react to my breath when I was eating (sitting face to face) and would sometimes cough when I spoke. Back then I didn't think off the worst because I was in school and thought I just needed some dental hygiene appointment as I hadn't been there in a while.
Fast forward 2 months and I started working full-time and noticed the reactions where getting stronger and now the smell could be felt 1m/2m away if I spoke or if I was eating. Also started to get some comments about my breath which smelled like feces. (Note that at this point I couldn't smell it).
Then got progressively worse and I started having these "moments" usually 1h after lunch and into the rest of the afternoon as I started to emit a foul odor that seemed to come from my mouth even if it was closed and people started reacting several meters away saying it smelled like death. I was using all kinds of mouthwashes including Therabreath and Cb12 to no avail, although one thing that I remember is one time I drank yogurt the smell changed from fecal to acidic momentarilly.
In November I noticed I had heartburn and doctor prescribed omeoprazole which didn't seem to affect smell. Then in late December all turned for the worst. The breath I had was toxic, room filling almost instantly and people could smell it far away.
At this time GERD got worst (almost always feel something slightly burning in throat or that there is something there) and also bloating even thought I can't pass gas easily.
So here's what I've tried/done without result, by order:
Dental appointment (cleaning and checking)
Therabreath and tongue scrapping
Sinus irrigation (salts or grapeseed extract)
Breathing techniques
Cleaning tonsils
K12 mouth supplements
Zinc
B12 vitamin
Natural yogurt with probiotics
Symptoms:
White tongue
Post nasal drop (constant and gets worse with reflux)
GERD
Bloating, even though I go to toilet 2/3 times a day now
I always thought it was due to the tonsils stones because I've always had them but after deep cleaning the cripts and finding some my breath stayed the same. However when I press my right tonsil in a certain place a yellow fish/fecal smell liquid comes out but I don't think it can cause breath like this.
My worst moments seem to be during morning, when lay down or sometimes after eating or even fasting. I think there's a correlation with GERD because sometimes at the same time I have bowel movements i feel something passing my throat and reactions from people get worse.
Could gas from intestines go up my stomach and cause the smell. Stressful situations seem to affect it as well, and maybe even cold weather ??
This has become a nightmare, don't wish this on anyone, don't go out anymore but I live with other people and it's problematic.
Could it be TMAU ?? (One of my worst episodes I was sweating a lot. But maybe I can't smell it)
I'm cutting on red meat and don't drink alcohol or smoke.
I will try some vitamin B2 and see if does something
Don't know what to do anymore, doctors don't seem to know anything about this and treat me just for the other symptoms trying to rush me out
It's getting worse every day now. Didn't even know this was possible.
Have found some people with extreme cases like this reaching out for help but no solution.
Anyone like this
Long post but had to write it
It only gets worse.. nothing reduces the smell for me. Exact symptoms with urs . Just sad.
Surprised to see someone with the same simptoms. I have thought about a tonsillectomy but then started to realise the intensity of the smell oscilated too suddenly to be stones.
Do you feel the smell gets worst when you are bloated? And does the reflux get stronger when this happens?
Last night I drank lots of water but still woke up smelling a lot. Then ate outmeal and went to the toilet (I've been taking meds for constipation). Then I noticed the extreme smell reduced and was left with the regular (still very strong) odor.
Wasn't bloated for the rest of the day, and appart from a few moments after lunch nothing major happened.
Late afternoon had some bread. 2 hours later sudenly started to bloat and feel the reflux. The noxious smell then appeared.
There's something relating Bloating, GERD, Constipation and maybe dehydration (?). Now writting this after dinner I've gone to the toilet but was constipated. I'm now bloated and the smell is getting stronger, along with the reflux.
In your case could the antibiotics from surgery have affected intestinal bacteria ?
This is something really bad to live with. Appreciate your response, maybe we could cross check information and find something.
