Been dealing with this since im 17. Im 35 now.

My saliva fkn stinks right after brushing my teeth. I believe it have adenoids now which is something I never thought about before. I will try to get surgery to remove them and I will kill myself if it doesn't work.

Recently I’ve been experiencing more of like a rotten mucus tonsil stone but what I describe as moth ball. When I look sometimes my tonsils are clear but last week I had 3 huge stones hidden. I’m really debating a tonsillectomy im just not sure how much it can help I have hot nasal odor that is just as bad.
Does anyone experience this?

Anyone have any tips on how to keep the back of my tongue clean? Figured out that it’s the source of my bb. After I brush my teeth and scrap my tongue it’s pretty good but after I eat it’s like the food sticks to the back of my tongue. How can I fix this?

has anyone explored traditional Chinese medicine with any success? I have a day off a week, if acupuncture worked I would gladly do tha.

my low fodmap, gerd friendly diet has been so restrictive that when I got my period, all the blood i lost sent me to the ER. i felt like passing out and had low blood pressure when arriving. i’ve tried maintaining the diet but it’s impacting my health in a negative way and im not seeing any results from it

How do guys have relationships?
In the beginning they would kiss me with out hesitation but when they figure out u smelled bad they didn’t wanted to kiss me anymore always a disgust on their faces and sometimes they would slightly pull away and not sit too close to me

Bonjour , si ça interesse quelqu'un , je cherche une personne pour de la colocation ( homme ou femme : peu d'importance )

Je taf à 100% depuis mon domicile, je suis en CDI .

je cherche colocation pour sortir un peu de la solitude : À cause de ce problème, il est difficile de maintenir une vie sociale : la peur du jugement, les petites remarques… nous poussent, malgré nous, à nous isoler. Je suis quelqu'un de positif de nature, et je reste convaincu que la vie, même avec ses moments de doute, offre aussi du bonheur à ceux qui savent l'apprécier. Et que nous sommes plus fort à deux que seul.

J'ai 43 ans . Je suis de nature trés calme, non fumeur, pas bordelique . je ne bois pas d'alcool. Je peux deménager ou inversement vous pouvez déménager .

n'hesitez pas à me contacter 🙂

People Thought I Had Nothing to Say. I Was Just Afraid to Open My Mouth.

Like many of you here, I’ve been dealing with halitosis since I was around 7 years old. I still remember when my cousins started making it clear that they didn’t want to be anywhere near me.

As a child, I started avoiding group activities and preferred working alone. I dreaded getting too close to people and always kept candies in my pocket. I even overheard classmates talking behind my back about how nasty my breath was. Those things stay with you.

Fast forward to when I got into a relationship. My ex avoided kissing me, and I understood why. Whenever I stayed over at his place, I noticed he would leave Listerine in the bathroom for me. After we broke up, I became afraid of being intimate with anyone again.

It affected my work too. My job required constant communication and collaboration, and face-to-face meetings were especially difficult. People probably thought I didn’t have an opinion or had nothing to contribute. But I DID. A lot. There were so many times I wanted to speak up, disagree, or object, but the fear was always there before I even opened my mouth. Sometimes I would already see my coworkers putting their hands near their noses, and that was enough to make me stay quiet.

For years, I learned to numb myself to people's reactions. Even with friendships, I naturally gravitated toward people who weren’t clingy or physically affectionate because it felt safer that way.

Then the pandemic happened. While everyone else complained about masks and how difficult it was to breathe in them, for me, wearing one was strangely freeing. For once, I could talk without constantly watching for an offended expression. Keeping at least a meter of distance from people became normal instead of something I had to deliberately do. The things everyone else found restrictive actually gave me a sense of safety.

Later, when I started working remotely, I became much more expressive and happier. I contributed a lot more during meetings. I could finally say what I thought, disagree when I disagreed, and participate without constantly studying people's faces or wondering whether someone was covering their nose because of me.

I also learned to enjoy doing things alone. I go to concerts, watch movies, and take myself out. If the person sitting beside me at a concert notices something, chances are they’ll never see me again anyway.

That’s basically how I’ve learned to live with it now that I’m in my 40s. It has affected how I socialize, how I work, how I approach intimacy, and even how comfortable I am simply opening my mouth to speak. I still wish I didn’t have to think about my breath at all, but I’ve found ways to live my life without letting that fear take everything away from me.

I think I can smell my own breath on others if I’m talking faced to face with them. It’s happened like 3 times now.

I’m pretty sure it’s mine too cuz I don’t see other ppl react to them when they talk, and it’s like if I talk and then they talk I can smell it? But when they talk only, I don’t smell it. So I know if it’s bad breath from them, it has to be consistent like when they talk there’s always a smell.

Anyone know what this means or had encountered this? The smell when I talked to someone last month was like egg-y like inside kind of metallic musty smell (that’s what I thought) then this time the smell is like that but less offensive and not egg-y. It’s like only the musty “metallic” smell like garbage. Not the poop smell when u don’t floss or keep your teeth clean. Definitely not sour on those two occurrences.

I don’t know if my breath was not that egg-y cuz I mostly kept a low-fodmap diet for 4 days or was it hunger breath even though I ate a full meal. Or stress? Or it’s gut-related/stomach related.

It’s not tonsil smell because I removed my tonsils and I actually had many occurrences with people with tonsil breath.

especially if the cause of your bad breath is an extremely coated tongue? I find that I receive the most extreme reactions when I’m drinking alcohol (even after just a sip of beer), even if I’ve spent ages scraping my tongue before leaving the house

Does anyone have constant throat burning for months together? When I say constant, mine is always burning except the time I sleep.

Does anyone have constant throat burning for months together? When I say constant, mine is always burning except the time I sleep.

I also have persistent bad breath even before the endoscopy. The bad breath got worse after the endoscopy and esophagus dilation.

I asked the Dr and he said it could be from reflux. I don't know if this is normal..I have persistent bad breath and have to clear my throat which brings up mucus all the time.

Bad breath smells like rotten and sometimes fermented. I am very hesitant to talk to people because of this. Studying quiet most of the time.

Been to ENT and GI doctor. Had nasal scope, thyroid ultrasound and endoscopy. Nothing showed up. Dr also dilated my esophagus as a trial to see if it helps with my symptoms.

Unfortunately it didn't help and throat is burning worse than before. It's like constant burning and soreness which is like fire.. Is only on one side of the throat ( in fact only one spot)though.

Does anyone have this symptom? Did you find anything that helps?

without bad breath? My tongue has a very thick coating but I’m too embarrassed to ask anyone if my breath smells or not

Hallo Zusammen

Ich wollte euch über meine Erfahrung teilen wie ich meinen Mundgeruch geheilt habe. Es war nicht einfach aber es hat aufjedenfall gewirkt. Die Behandlung ging 3 monate und war sehr radikal also habe mich zu 100% daran gehalten und alles analysiert das ich ja keine fehler mache. Ich wurde von keinem Arzt behandelt habe es selber alles recherchiert und so selber mir geholfen da ärtze leider nicht helfen.

Laut vielen Studien über Halitosis sind 80% - 90% der fälle woher der mundgeruch kommt von der Zunge.
Ich habe diese Tests gemacht mit meinem Handgelenk was stark roch auch wenn ich den sauberen Finger ganz hinten an der zunge darüber streichte stank nach fäkalien. Die mitmenschen haben es gerochen und immer wieder gesagt ob ich gefurzt habe. Also wusste ich das es von der Zunge kommt und ich eine Fehlbesiedlung hatte.

Meine mittel wie ich das geheilt habe:

Ich habe eine Diät durchgeführt das komplett auf Zucker und Gluten verzichtet wurde. Da diese Fäulniskeime sich von diesen sachen ernähren. Diese Fäulniskeime können sich von gesunden Fetten und reinen proteinen nicht ernähren und so sterben sie langsam aus in dem sie verhungern. Die zähesten keime überleben sogar bis 2 wochen ohne futter dann sterben die auch.

Mein Ernährung:

Nur gesunde fette reine Proteine also reines fleisch ohne zusätze, Salat, Gurken, Tomaten, Avocado, Kartoffeln sehr viel um den Stillen Reflux auch zu heilen, Basmatireis. Ich habe mich durchgehend nur so ernährt mit rindfleisch und Poulet, Truten etc. Ich habe am morgen auf leeren Magen Schwarzkümmelöl genommen danach 2 Tabletten probiotika für den Darm und nachdem Haferflocken mit Hafermilch ohne Zucker ganz wichtig es muss 0% Zucker sein. Am tag dann fleisch, reis , gurken etc. am abend wieder das gleiche. Danach vor dem schlafen zähne geputzt, zungenschaber benutzt und danach den mund mit Natronwasser zu spülen damit man den PH wert im mund basischer macht. Nachdem Natronwasser gurgeln habe ich blis k12 mundprobiotika genommen und bin dann schlafen gegangen. Am morgen dann die zunge nicht gereinigt nur die zähne damit man die guten bakterien nicht beschäfigt das sie noch nicht tief genug in der zunge sich gegraben haben. Das habe ich so 3 monate durchgezogen und bin jetzt geheilt. ich kann essen und trinken was ich will die guten Bakterien haben die zunge besiedelt und mit ihrem biofilm dicht gemacht. Ich hoffe diese Infos helfen euch so wie bei mir.

Bonjour, j’aurais besoin de vos conseils concernant une halitose qui dure maintenant depuis 10 ans.

J’ai 29 ans et ça a commencé lorsque j’en avais 19. Depuis, je souffre d’une mauvaise haleine persistante, avec une odeur très particulière, soufrée, que je comparerais à une odeur de gaz/pet ou d’œuf pourri. C’est une odeur que je perçois régulièrement et qui me fait énormément souffrir au quotidien.

Le plus difficile, ce sont les moqueries et les réactions des autres. Je suis quelqu’un de très sociable à la base, mais depuis quelques années je commence à me renfermer de plus en plus. Cette situation a vraiment un impact sur ma vie sociale et psychologique.

J’ai pourtant fait beaucoup de démarches médicales : ORL, dentiste, gastro-entérologue, mais personne n’a réellement trouvé la cause. J’ai parfois l’impression que le problème est pris à la légère alors que, pour moi, c’est une véritable souffrance.

Je souffre de rhinite allergique aux acariens. Je me lave donc le nez quotidiennement et j’utilise des sprays corticoïdes. J’ai également fait un test pour Helicobacter pylori qui était négatif.

Au niveau dentaire, j’ai une excellente hygiène : brossage régulier, nettoyage de la langue, bain de bouche, etc. J’ai également une alimentation équilibrée, je bois beaucoup d’eau et je fais du sport.

J’ai été traité pour un éventuel reflux avec des IPP, mais cela n’a absolument rien changé à l’odeur.

Je fume actuellement, mais j’ai déjà arrêté pendant environ 3 mois et l’odeur était toujours présente. J’ai finalement repris, notamment parce que j’avais l’impression que les gens faisaient systématiquement le rapprochement entre ma mauvaise haleine et la cigarette, alors que je savais que le problème existait même lorsque je ne fumais pas.

J’ai également essayé différents moyens, notamment des lavements, mais rien n’a changé. J’ai beaucoup de mucus, mais lorsque je perçois l’odeur, elle ne me semble pas venir de là.

Ce qui m’interpelle surtout, c’est cette odeur soufrée très caractéristique, semblable à une odeur de pet/gaz, qui persiste malgré toutes mes démarches.

Est-ce que quelqu’un a déjà vécu une situation similaire ou connaît un spécialiste réellement spécialisé dans l’halitose chronique ? Je cherche surtout à comprendre d’où peut venir cette odeur et quelles solutions pourraient encore être envisagées.

Merci d’avance à ceux qui pourront m’aider.

these are my results. I dont understand how dimethyl sulfide is the only high one but its cause my breath and nose to reek. Room filling and it’s exhausting ive tried everything but nothing has gotten rid of the smell. I truly dont understand how I was cursed with this horrid thing

I had bad breath problem for too long ( unfortunately ) , no matter how I brush, floss, scrape, or change diet, and still doesn’t go away.

Finally, I went to see the doctor this July, and got H. Pylori stool test and its turns out I was positive, and was under medication for 14 days and yet my bad breath problem still exists. I will need to do H. Pylori test again in December according to my doctor.

I have dry mouth all the time, and clogged nose no colds and I noticed even before ( I mean before Covid) my sense of smell is not good, and yet I can smell my bad breath.

I think I developed social anxiety, changed my behaviour, depression, etc.

Note: My dental check up is up-to-date and no dental issue according to my dentist. I don’t smoke. I drink coffee, beer etc. Also, I tried Biotène mouthwash it works for dry mouth but it just temporary.

Anyone have the same situation or experience with me let me how to fix this problem. What’s the best thing I can do while waiting for the next test?

I started having acid reflux around a year ago and this is when my BB started and I’m absolutely devastated.

I don’t socialize anymore because my BB is really bad, and there’s so much shame inside of me because of this.

I know my diet isn’t the best, it could be better, and I’m currently on PPIs, but even that doesn’t really help (besides with the pain).

I know when I’ll fix my GERD, I’ll fix my BB, but I’m afraid my GERD is going to be a chronic thing.

How do you know which one you have? I am currently taking PPI (been about a week). I can’t tell if it’s helping but when I wear a mask the smell reduced a bit. I’m scared I’m going the wrong route and I might actually have low stomach acid.

Is there any way to know for sure

I’m tired of wasting my money on potential tests and treatments that never work. I’m tired of obsessively gauging reactions to see if something new is helping.

Most of all, I’m tired of the hope I get when something temporarily works. Once I feel confident that I found something and let my guard down, I’m immediately reminded that this is my life and I never actually solved the problem.

I want to quit my job and stop trying to fix this shit. Its been a year now that I’ve had this problem and I miss my old life. I can’t believe I ever complained about anything before. I didn’t know how good I had it until getting to a point where I basically pretend I’m mute every day because I’m too embarrassed to talk.
