I have this horrid poo smell from my mouth. I brush my teeth twice a day, floss, use Dentyl PH mouthwash, I have the best oral hygeine of anyone I know but I still have this smell. I am too embarrassed to even ask my flriends or family to tell me my breath stinks. I am becoming totally reclusive because of it. Id rather go to my GP and tell him ive got an STD. I know ive got it coz sometimes people look around and ask if ive farted, and I see people with babies smelling their nappies when I speak. It really is starting to badly affect my life but I just cant pluck up the courage ot go to my GP. How on earht can i ay \"DR, My breath smells like poo!\" Please, if anyone has any tips let me know.

    How long have u had it for?

    Is it there always? Or does it come and go?

    Have u noticed anything different when u go to the toilet?

    You are not alone in this complaint. My bad smell/taste is coming from my tonsils. As usual my GP doesn't want to know but you have to keep on at them cos they really are a waste of space in matters like these. I'm going back to see mine again tomorrow after being given a clean bill of health from my dentist. I guess i'm getting back on the merry go round as i know my GP will sugest something like 'try a diffrent mouth wash, lol. They never take these matters seriously so you have to be asked to be referred to a specialist, which is my plan tomorrow. I have some kinda bacterial prob but don't know if it's allergy related or a tonsil prob. Good luck to you an me.

      I know that my tonsils would get enflamed and food would get caught in them, which made them smell like infection/poo sort of. Which in turn made my breath smell. Have any white chunks of stuff that looks like tooth but is soft come back up your throat before?

      Hey Pluto,

      In some cases I have heard that having the tonsils removed was the culprit. Myself however, I had mine removed last month and the smell is still there. I've seen a periodontist, she did a root cleaning. No change. Had a colonoscopy, they found a couple of polyps, no change. I can brush, floss, Listerine, tongue scrape all day until the cows come home, but the problem is still there. If you have found the solution, PLEASE PLEASE share. smile

      A huge number of things can cause this issue Fatty liver or liver disease is up there with the top causes along with tonsil stones and infections and chronic synus. Unfortunately have found no real quick fix and GP don't often know what to do. Go see specialist particularly if you have other symptoms like sore throat, difficulty swallowing, ear pain. swollen tonsils. white or yellow debris on the tonsil. Practice good oral hygiene, including cleaning the bacteria off the back of your tongue when you brush your teeth. S

      Gargle salt water, which can prevent tonsil stone formation and eliminate the odor they cause.

      Drink the recommended daily requirement of water and stay hydrated.

      First determine if the source of the problem is in the mouth or the throat??

      if the throat then do this.

      In the shower have the water as hot as you can stand it. the spray must strong and hard. (I once used a garden hose)

      Turn your face up into the spray and let it hammer away at your throat. Swallow TWICE.

      Now if you smell it you know you're on the right track but you may not yet so continue.

      Do it again. I did it again for three days straight and now once a week or 2. SMELLNOMORE

      It was such a joyous relief when i realized my idea worked.

      Good luck, hope this helps
