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 All...

                     Reasons for BB are many & I think it's very hard to find a reason of BB among many possiblities.  I have found a new idea n thinking about it. My dentist says that whatver the causes are, but if get a Mouth Plate with cream & attach to the roof of my mouth, then i can stop almost 90% of BB coming from mouth.  Can u all plz give me suggestions n views about this idea...?

      Krishna, have you seen a ENT OR peridontist? They can check for abnormalities.

      Have you done blood work for liver, pancreas, diabetes, candida, h.plovri?

    Hello everyone,

    I have been a BB sufferer for a 4 years now. Tried everything ive read throughout the internet and spent tons of money on products. Not sure if this will help everyone but i recently tried a colon cleanse and found that my tongue doesnt have a white coating as much as before. Taste is has change significantly but still not sure if this is the cure. I just gave it a try and makes me feel somewhat better talking in front of people. I absolutely hate when people start rubbing their noses so I will never give up on this. I am still one week on the cleanse and also added activated charcoal to remove possible toxins. Also take zinc multivitamins. I hope we all get through this horrible symptom. Even doctors and dentists ive visited think is acid reflux but those antiacids do nothing. Maybethishelped but its worth a try. Never give up!!

      Hello maybethishelped,

      How long were you doing the colon cleanse?

      Could you message me the one you used?

      I found one on Amazon in the u.s. called optimum colon cleanse. It had good reviews so I gave it a try. Took with activated charcoal which some what help the bad taste. It's been one week and I'll let you know how it progresses. But my tongue has been the pinkest it's ever been. I also eat Saurkraut as my probiotic in case of sibo. Possibly it could a digestion issue causing this. It's been a long journey and I hope this works. GL

      Sometimes I look at people while they're talking to me at work, a customer, and I never say anything and they still run their nose. I wonder if it's not as bad as I think, but make it worse by stressing and overthinking.

      Hi Daniel, I hear you. It is hard to tell what the other person smells. I also get anxious but ignore and sometimes I get ppl coughing, covering their noses next to or feet away from them. I know it's directed to me bc they look at me. It is stressful to be in this situation. Don't ignore his you feel but that gives you more motivation to find out what this is.

      I hope we all do.

      I have a job interview today and wonder about my BB but I still have to go.

      Chris, I've been feeling a bit better, never no when my breath stinks or not after trying different things. I can go around asking people, lol. How's your diet?

      Not really sure. It's hard to tell without asking people and I tend to keep my distance when talking to people and I'm so self conscious and paranoid in that I take every reaction a person does is in response to my breath, even though it may not even be. I think my dry mouth is the major contributor, but not sure what's causing it and I've tried everything. I've been using this mouthwash I've made with essential oils, but doesn't do anything for my dry mouth. I think back during periods of time when I wasn't getting comments on my breath and I do remember I was not stressed back then and using a good toothpaste and mouthwash for dry mouth. I also was not working due to a work injury, and was like a vacation and had time to take extra care of my oral hygiene right after each meals. Sometimes I just get frustrated I just want to breathe on every one and say,"screw it!". Haha

    Hi Daniel,

    my gastro came back from vacation. I dint have candida in the blood but I have to wait another two weeks to see if it's fungal in the blood. I also asked him if I need a colonoscopy or enima. I'm waiting to hear from him.

    everyone's cause of BB maybe different. And I ALWAYS STRESS TO GET YOUR BLOOD WORK DONE & follow up with your docs.

    I started seeing my acupuncturist last week. He also sent me home w herbal teas to drink for three days. I'm noticing that I'm building mucus again. My IBS is getting better. I've stopped taking the vitamins & mix of things the nutritionist gave me. I feel it was overwhelming & too much $.

    I am eating more w meals n I was vegan.

    I think I was NOT eating enough & drinking water. I still eat healthy & drink vitamins c. I'm not a doc but I'm going these changes will give me answers

    I have that a rest. I will continue w acpuncture for now bc it's cheaper & my docs don't have answers

      I find that not eating proteins (meat, eggs) and no dairy and coffee in the morning helps me a lot for the day.. Like, I have a little smoothie and will only have a cup of coffee later in the day with no milk. For me, I know that dairy and meat trigger my bb. So, if I have to eat meat, I will do so at home, in the evening.

      Thank you George,

      For me seems like everything triggers & causes oral thrush. Even eating healthy had not made a difference.

      I am noticing that the acupuncture & herbal teas, drinking electrolyte water, vitamin c, e. And this week I'm slowly adding chicken, fish this weekend.

      I was not eating enough in my meals.

      I conquered my anxiety & went to the interview I felt like my true self. I hope I get the job. I find out next week & hopefully by then I will conquer the BB. Thank you all for reading & suggesting. It helps ease this issue!
