Bad breath(fart).
Posted , 54 users are following.
So I've been experiencing BB for a few years now. Just like everyone else I've tried many things with no success. At first I thought it was my mouth but starting to believe it's something in my gut. I'm tired of getting "did you fart?" comments. Thing is I believe it's in my gut is because I've been suffering with bloating and passing gas all the time. So if I'm passing gas a lot and my breath smells like the exact same...there's got to be a connection. I notice it gets worse when my mouth is dry, which seems to be a lot of the time. Not sure that's due to my gut or because I'm always stressed/anxious around people and it dries my mouth out. Another thing is I think it may be linked to my MERCURY FILLINGS and wondering if anyone with BB here has fillings..? I've also noticed skin rashes that look like ringworms and uti's off and on. I went for a H Pylori test and waiting in results and I've been on the candida diet for about a month now and really not seeing a difference. Thing is I've not always had this. I've had many relationships and they were long lasting. It's hard to pin point the exact time when I started getting comments. Keep in mind it's been a handful only of comments, but those were enough to take precaution around people. I don't feel like it smells all the time, but when I exhale deeply or use certain letters like "H" and laughter. So please let me know if you have fillings, trying to find a connection. I know we can beat this. It's hard to function everyday, trust me I know. You can be handsome and rich and would t matter if you have fart breath. A mentally challenged person has better luck functioning in life than we do! I know talking helps, I've only briefly mentioned it to a doctor, but she was skeptical. I'm willing to keep in contact with people via phone or/and Facebook so we can support each other and figure this out together. It hurts to be alone. Thanks.

I have the same issue, really depressing me as I am an open person and love to talk and meet people, but this BB problem is like a chain holding me back. I take very good care of my dental hygiene and my BB is still there. I had an appendectomy surgery a couple of weeks ago because my appendix was inflamed and I've noticed something very wierd after the surgery. I've noticed that I woke up with 0 BB. At that time I thought it was my appendix that was causing my BB, but a couple of days after BB was #@$% back.
Usually when i wake up my BB is worst, but when I woke up from anasthesia there was absolutley nothing which was wierd. Since this surgery is done under general anesthesia, when you wake up usually your GI tract is still not working, so it gave me a clue that my problem is due to my GI, something with the movement of the GI tract. I will be going to a doctor soon and making a stool analysis and an endoscopy hoping to find something. Hope this helps others with the same problem which surprisingly no one has found a cure to.

I feel like you're on to something. I notice after coffee, beer, cheese or anything that dries my mouth, like stress from thinking about it too much, really causes it to smell.

Just got this. Been awhile since I've been on here. I'm 35 years old and this has been going on few a few years now. My parents say the same thing, but me ex directly told me it stunk. It never use to when I was with her for years. Not sure what changed. I've asked her again via text if my breath still stunk, but she never replied.

Daniel,
Like you, mine has got worse recently. In my case it may be because I am now on medication for the rest of my life and I know from past experience that antibiotics can trigger the problem; just another kick in the teeth!I wonder if you have started medication recently that may be causing your issue to worsen?
Unconnected with the above, I am currently on antibiotics for a water infection - it's unusual for a bloke, but I get one approximately every two years. After lab analysis, the doctor informed me that the particular infection was normally only found in the gut. She then asked me if I was heterosexual, which I assured her I most definitely am! :-) Thing is, I am convinced that my issue is coming from the stomach and is to do with the passage of food through the body. I think something intermittently goes into reverse, which ultimately results in chronic BB. This may also be the root cause of why I keep getting these infections and why are bacteria that should only be in the gut, is appearing elsewhere in the body!
Does anybody else get intermittent infections, beyond the norm?
As an aside, if those aliens land I hope they bring some alien technology that will sort this out! ;-)

Hey little buddy. You are Asian. If you are hispanic, Asian and Afro. Then you are likely to have enzyme deficiency.
Your family cannot smell it, because your smell is not consistent. When you eat too much milk or cheese products, it starts to furmugate in your gut after a few hours, and causes the smell. So when you eat less, or didn't eat it that day, your BB is not as bad.
You can buy on line from Canada or the States a bottle of "lactaid"
STOP consuming curry, flat bread, and any milk or cheese product NOW. You will get better after 3 days.

I have BB since I was 23 and now i'm 39 and still have it. I tried so many meds and remedy and i ordered lots of medicines or herbal and vitamins and probiotic online but did not work. I tried candida diet but did not work too.. I tried peroxide, baking soda, honey and ACV but nothing works.. This situation makes me sad and anti social. My family keep saying that they don't smell anything bad but i see their reaction everytime i speak to them. I often got reaction from friends, families and other people.. They asked me if i farted! My breath gets worst after i eat process foods, alcohol, ice scream and dairy foods. My ex's left me because of this. It seems like a curse! But God is good because i found someone who can love me even i have BB idk if he just lying to me but he said he never smell anything! He is very honest person and he told me if he can smell anything he will help me to cure it but he said he did not smell any.. So we are engaged now and we are going to get married soon! I'm very happy but what makes worried now is i'm afraid to meet his family what will I do if they smell me and i don't want my fiance to be emabarass and i would be so embarass too.. Well i will pray again that they could not smell it like my fiance did.. We should not lose hope God is good!
(Sorry for my english.. I'm Asian)

Thanks for responding. It's been awhile since I've been on here. Seems like there's no solution and being in here is just a reminder and causes me stress and anxiety and makes things worse.

Nexium for the tummy, Gaviscon for the tummy cover, Pariet for acid, Digestive tablets or other enzyme helps, Over $100,000 used for medication and seen over dozens of dentist and specialist doctors from teeth, liver, bladder, kidney, intestine, whole gut from the bottom up and vice versa, nosal, throat, heart, lungs, bones, oral, and even skin...... came out negative.
All it took was a 19.99 bottle of " lactaid".
Puzzle solved. Fxxk.

For how long we need to take lactaid and leave dairy products. Is it daily\permanently or for certain time period. As i take tea\coffee and moved to strictly vegetarian diet but whenever and whatever i eat produces different bad smell. Specially when i eat chicken,milk, food with sugar and even spinach. Not sure if its H-pylori or lacto intolerant or Gerd. Where-ever i enter in a bus , hall gathering or appointments, my bad oder is noticeable from distances and within first 5 minutes.
Also what diet you follow now after your problem got solved. Any suggestion or answer will be really helpful.
