Breath smells like faeces (Poo)

Posted , 379 users are following.

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.

    Hello guys,

    I have been following this discussion for a while and have tried many different things that I saw in here. Not successful with any of them or had a good result for a little while

      I took metronidazole and my bb got better for a while , but it came back as soon as I stopped taking it. The thing about taking antibiotics constantly is that your body will become resistant to this drug and, if you need it in the future for any other issue, it will not work. So, my Doctor told me to stop taking it. I have started a different diet now: breakfast I have a smoothie with strawberries , blueberries, banana, celery, parsley, nuts, spinach .. Lunch: beans, brown rice and green salad with no salad dressing. Dinner: vegetable creamy soup( cowle flower, bricolis, etc). My last meal is at 6:00pm. Plenty of water... No dairy products at all, and no bread.. I don't feel hungry and my breath has improved a lot. I believe that the proteins and dairy products that I was eating was causing bb as it wasn't digested properly. I hope this will be helpful .

      Are you lactose intolerant? If so, seems like a lot of people with bad breath are also lactose intolerant. I forgot to add that in my comment about myself. Trying to list all the things that may contribute to bad breath and see what maybe we all have in common and then go from there.

      I am not lactose intolerant . but I found the dairy products worsen my acid reflux and so, contributed to bb.

      George, I eat identical to your diet for two months now and still have oral thrush. The poo breath exists but some days are better than others but I've yet to determine what makes it better. The wonder if I need to try a Different probiotic?

      Hi MJ, you said you tried many tow it's your BB now?

      I still have BB. I will try metronidazole and erythromycin to see if this will work for me.

      And yes I finished 2 bottles of 100 billion probiotic but my BB still there. My bowel movement did improve coz now I poo every morning.

      I am also about to try a new probiotic that suppose to be more effective coz it has active culture in it that produce good bacteria.

      I'll let you know!

      MJ, I hope you find out soon. since you are noticing improvements. What active probiotics are u now purchasing?
    • Posted

      It's a capsule that has active culture in it. This one I bought is refrigerated. The other probiotic I used to buy were like a regular pills on the shelves.

      My dr called me today and saw no bacteria on my throat thus, he did not want to prescribe me tha metro 😭😭😭😂😂.

      I don't know what to do 😭😭. I'm just hoping now that this new probiotic I will start to take will work! Im so mad at my dr huhuhuhu

      Hi MJ.

      Have you tried 400 billion priobotics??. It comes in a powder. I tell you this I dont think you will need any antibiotics at all.

      I have no taken any of ero and metro. And trust me. Im all fine just with this 400 billion probotics. Go get yourself that cos you will be happy. I stopped taking antibiotics cos I have a side effects on me. I had a burn tough and its really uncomfortable. So please please go get that 400 biilion probiotics. My brother saw it in one of the Organic Shop in Portland, Oregon. My families are living in States except myself in NZ.

      Let me know whats the outcome.

      Now I'm confused 😭. I Thot u said you were taking the meds and your daughter did not smell your BB. Did u stop taking metro and ero?

      I just bought this another expensive 30 billion active pro biotic. The sales girl told me the number sometimes does not count 100 B or 30 B. She said it depends on what we're trying to accomplish with the probiotic. She recommend the 30 Billion "active" probiotic cause it will help produce good bacteria and eliminate bad bacteria. This new probiotic I just bought is a capsule that stored in the refrigerator.

      She recomend that I take one probiotic as soon as I wake up in the morning. I will start this process in the morning but instead of taking 1 pill I will take 2 instead and see what's gonna happen. This is the last result I have so far 😪 I'm so tired with my BB I'm literally crying right now. 😂😂😂.

      Sorry Im confused you. Yes my BB stops from.taking both ero and metro. But I have side effects on my tongue. Burnt tongue feeling and its very uncomfortable.

      And I stopped taking them and repkaced them with 400 billion and I can see far more better results by taking only 400 billions.

      Its okay you can take ero and metro and see what the outcome is okay. Sorry I confused you.

      No I don't want to take the antibiotics if I don't have too!

      I'm off tomorrow and i will go find this powder probiotic. What's the name/brand of the probiotic your using?

      How do u use it? Mix in water? Please tell me 😭

    • Posted

      Yes the bottle comes with a scoop inside.

      I mix one scoop in a glass of water and drink it all at one time.

      I think it recommend once daily. But I take one glass in the morning on empty stomach and again at lunch time after lunch and so one glass before dinner at 5:00

      I have no longer have a burnt tongue feeling and my breath is still fresh.

      Sorry again if I upset you. Trust me. I cried alot and I always took it on my husband if I dont have any break through.

      I feel sorry for him.

      I can feel you but cheer up okay because this will be your last one to try. I have spend alot on medication but I finally have the right one.

      Please if you get it. Give a day or 2 and you can judge it yourself okay.

      Make your own sauerkraut, look it up, it's insane how much probiotics is in it and all it is, is cabbage and salt fermented so very inexpensive and better than probiotic pills.
