bad breath no matter what i do

Posted , 6 users are following.

Hello, ive had bad breath for as long as i can remember. Ive tried everything, blood tests, breath tests, i even got my tonsils removed. I feel like my bad breath comes from my stomach and it gets worse whenever i eat dairy, but even if i have stopped eating dairy is still there maybe not as strong but still there. The worst time is when i wake up, it is so strong that i even get disgusted with it. They have given me some medication such as olestyr and tecta ec and they do help for about 2-3 hours then the bad breath and bad taste in my mouth comes back. I brush my teeth everyday and floss too, everything looks really healthy in my mouth. Im 23 years old and ive been suffering with this since im about 9 years old. If you guys could please help me i would really appreciate it, i have no self steem anymore i can't even talk with someone face to face this problem is just driving me crazy.

    Sergio I don't want to lie to you, iv also been suffering for years and Iv done it all!!!!!!! had my tonsils, turninates, adenoids and wisdom teeth removed. was diagnosed with Hpylori and got it eradicated, was told I have Silent Reflux took medication for it, was told I have bad PND I'm taking medication for that. I bought Dr Katz entire Therabreath kit- Is helping a lil shame but the root problem is just too strong for the kit.

    one day someone told me that 30% world population suffers the halitosis disease whilst the 70% are jst lucky coz their bodies naturally fights off the bad breath causing problems. what this person was insinuating was that I should accept that I'm the unlucky one and try to live my life with the bad breath.

    However....Don't give up!!! in my case what I'm strongly suspecting now is that my bad breath is coming directly from the back of my throat or down the osophagus and Iv made an appointment to have that seen next week.

    Depression has taken over and it is not easy to go through a day but let us be strong and think of how gr8 our lives would be without the disease

    Hey believe me I have the same problem. There is most likely no cure, but I have found a good solution for me that will likely work for you as well. Because I believe that this has nothing to do with your actual breath but your gut.. Try a Body cleanse.  A product called "Bowel Pocket"  for about 2-4 weeks followed by taking chlorophyll. You can this at your local nutrition store. Good luck.

    Hello Sergio, your not going have much luck in finding this product in your local grocery store. Instead try a health or vitamin store that is more in line with selling healthy suppliments. You could go on line to locate your nearest nutrition store, seek out a physical trainer at a gym or if all else fails consult your dr on these products. Good luck

    Hi Sergio, don't feel alone with this. Have your tested for Candida in the blood, stool tests? Are your sure the h.p vlori is gone?

    Did you take lots of antibiotics before? Bc that can cause your immune system to weaken.

    Do you have oral thrush, dry tongue, no saliva?

    I'm going thru this & even when I breath out from feet away ppl give me dirty looks. This has caused me both my jobs bc ppl notice it.

    I'm still waiting for blood results and so far I dint have fungal candida but I have another two weeks to wait.

    3 Ents kept telling me it was acid reflux but my gastro properly tested me and I don't have that.

    just hope my experience helps.
