Something may be working for me!!!!!!

I’ve been on this site for the last 8 years or so, ever since I was 21. I remember feeling like I had bb on occasion before that, but looking back I think it was more than normal and this was a problem that got gradually worse.
I’m not sure if I’ve found the full solution but I think I’m on the right track because I’ve had BIG improvements this week. The last few years I’ve been trying to focus on the fact that this is just a symptom of an underlying problem and checking things off the list to narrow down where it’s coming from. Here are some of my symptoms and some things I’ve tried or checked off the list.
Symptoms:
—White tongue (when I scrape it I swear it doesn’t smell bad or at least I can’t smell it )
—Lots of PND and mucus collection in back of throat only in my left side (I swear this doesn’t smell either)
—Bad bad bad taste in my mouth. I don’t know how to describe it other than rotten.
—constipation
—dry mouth
—some acne
—sinus inflammation but no congestion in the “front”
—if I lick my wrist it always smells like vinegar
Things I’ve Tried/Checked off:
—sinus rinses
—got a sinus ct and my ENT said there is no sign of anything that would cause my symptoms, no infection no blockage or polyps etc.
—my tonsils were taken out BEFORE I noticed this problem
—wisdom teeth removed
—dental health is fine, I actually get comments on how wonderful my oral health is and how great my gums look
—I’ve considered it’s all in my head, which was a big possibility because I was previously diagnosed with OCD . I’ve noticed older students at the school I work at comment on it though, and kids are brutally honest.
—lots of herbal parasite cleanses, colon cleanses, herbal antibiotics
—Oral thrush oral tablets
—dry mouth lozenges
—drinking more water
—eating a strict diet of only chicken and potatoes and other diets such as the candida diet etc.
—did a bristle test... it said that I have low levels of halitosis bacteria, my ENT also did an oral swab and said it came back normal
—no airborne allergies
—got ph strips and my saliva tests pretty alkaline
At this point I had gotten extremely frustrated! Why does my mouth taste like rotten death if my oral health is fine?? Why do I have SOOO MUCH mucus production if my sinuses are fine???? Why does my saliva smell like vinegar if my ph is normal??? I sat down and made a list of “could be” and “couldn’t be” for all the normal explanations. One thing I thought it could still be is directly related to my gut health and constipation. I saw on here recently someone mentioned getting a colonic and that it cured them. I have a lot of anxiety with health procedures but I forced myself to try it. I was literally crying while the lady explained the method I was so nervous. She said with my history (of over a decade of constipation) it could very well explain ALL of my symptoms. I’ve done the procedure once. The day after I do feel like I noticed my mouth feeling cleaner and that my tongue was not as white at the end of the day or in the morning. The next day it kind of went back to “normal” as in my normal. Then I remembered a post from someone saying probiotics will never work if we take the regular dosage so I bought some probiotics and have been taking literally 10 of those babies a day as well as a laxative. I’m still not having regular bowel movements but more regular than usual and plan to go in for more colonic treatments. Just in the last 2 says, after maybe 5 days of jam packing my gut with probiotics I’m noticing my mouth feels cleaner than normal again!! Yesterday I had been drinking alcohol but I noticed I was getting less reaction, still some but less. I kid you not, I licked my wrist and NOTHING. I kept smelling it waiting for that vinegar smell to appear cause sometimes it takes a little while but it never came. I’m still trying not to get my hopes up but this is the most change I’ve ever seen in the last 8 years. I think I found the root problem. I’m going to continue getting more colonic treatments and I will keep you guys updated!!!! Also it’s worth noting that I was SOOO scared to get the colonic but it was actually not bad at all!!!
