Acid Reflux - strange smell
Posted , 24 users are following.
Hi again everybody. Isnt this problem a real pain. Something new seems to develop every day and knowing what to eat or avoid is a nightmare.Anyway in this message I would like to ask whether any one else like me gets a strange smell up their nostrils.I have for some time now and until today i was just assuming that this smell was being caused by the tablets i am taking Lanzesprosole and Ranitidine by I am now wondering whether its these causing it or something else. Whatever it is it isnt pleasant and cannot be masked by using cologne or after shave.Anyone having the same experience !

I've had this a LOT. They are "Stones". Most times these get stuck in your tonsils, you may have heard of tonsil stones but these come up from your airway (as mine do). They smell like mothballs. I cough them up and sometimes blow them outta my nose. If you see a sort of yellowish/hint of green looking ball in your tissue...take a whiff...they are nasty.
I've tried it all....netty pot, gargling with warm salt water, changing my diet. Nothing helps me. The stomach acid is being sucked up into my lungs and I feel the aspiration. My brain doesn't even function right anymore. I'm sure it could be worse but not love'n it.
Try looking up calcium stones with the words "smell like mothballs". I hope it gets better!

Good Morning, I currently have acid reflux, however this only affects with as I have a burning stomach and sometimes I smell smoke that is not there. I have been taking Omez Insta 20 mg. It has been working for my stomach thus far however I still have been smelling the smoke. I spoke to my doctor and they suggested a Detox. I will start it today so if this helps me I would let you guys know.

It could be some type of damage. It could the air you breathe, it could be problems caused from smoking.

this will sound gross, but on occasion, I'll smell feces when i exhale. additionally, my smell has been heightened and the smell of dust will aggravate reflux, extending from z line to sinuses.
