Breath smells like faeces (Poo)

Did anyone take clotrimazole, an antifungal? It is suppose to be like fluconzole.

I am hesitant tothis take it bc antibiotics messed up my immunity & that is one reason I haven't fought this.

Any suggestions?

Hi Daniel, I just received your message.

It's good to hear that at least you continue to look for solutions, instead of just giving up.

Have you narrowed down if it's many things going on instead of just one issue?

For ne it seems that it's IBS & not going completlly in the morning.

I saw an oral surgeon. She mentioned that I have pockets in my molars that MIGHT be causing the fecal odor. She noticed that my odor comes & goes. I mentioned my symptoms about dry tongue & burnt tongue feeling, white tongue. She suspects it's candida. I asked to have it tested in my mouth before she gives me medication but said she didn't SEE anything but will give mean antifungal & no guarantee that this will work.

I'm so cautious about taking meds bc of misdiagnosed & antibiotics that weaken my system.

I started exercising more & like you I get self conscious when I have to run errands & walk out side. I do get reactions but I feel better that at least w this doc visit I physically saw that my teeth MIGHT be causing the odor.

At times when I do smell my own fecal odor I just hold my breath of a second to not breath on ppl.

I've started a new routine in the morning & when I ask friends they tell me they don't smell it. So now my odor comes & goes through out the day & not constant:

Glass of water when I wake up

chlorophyll

aloe juice

pill to clean liver ( I don't have the name of product)

Goldenseal with vit e (take for only a week &

Before meals)

probiotic 30 billion (once a day before breakfast)

digestive enzyme

No sugar

breakfast

Daniel,

For me I know I'm having small & large intestinal issues. L-glutamine powder heals the lining if the intestines. Research on Turmeric. I use more garlic gloves, oregano, parsley to season in my meals. The garlic has helped me more this week and EXERCISING.

Fiber powder w water ( at night but if home do it morning bc u have to drink lots of water).

Again, for thoes that have acid reflux things I've mentioned should be researched before taking.

I wish the doc would have sampled my throat for candidiasis bc its not in my blood but "might be in the throat".

Either way, I'm regulating my morning bowel movement to one instead of four times during the morning.

Hi everyone,  wow what a read.  I started my own post on here a couple of years ago as I've had tonsil stones since I was a kid.  Its made my life an absolute misery.  I've gone from boyfriends telling me I had bad breath to now my kids telling me.  Usually in front of someone.  Everyone is unique and has bad breath for different reasons.    Mine is due to post nasal drip, the surface of my tongue and tonsil stones.  I really believe that a huge part of my problem is I crave sugary products (this is often linked to candida/thrush that thrives on sugar).  My mouth is always dry and if I ever have antibiotics they cause me to have thrush!  So if your bad breath is from candida then taking antibiotics is only going to make it worse, well it does for me.  A lot of medications have side effects, sometimes this can be a dry mouth which makes bad breath worse,  It just a viscious circle!  I used to use Therabreath products, I got them from the USA but they are now available in the shops over here BUT it hasn't worked for me in a while.  To be honest with these sorts of products you have to keep using them otherwise the problem comes back and I just can't afford it.  I really think it would help me to give up sugar but I crave it because of my high candida levels.  Has anyone ever taken a really good probiotic?  Not just the ones you get in supplements.  There used to be a product called Threelac I used years and years ago but it made me throat sore it was so strong!  There must be an alternative.  In the meantime I am still hunting the product that is going to get rid of this horrendous issue we are all suffering from.  I have ordered another one from America called Profresh but to be honest I don't really have any faith in it.  Probably just the same as the others.   Got to try it though.   I also read elsewhere that Daktarin was great for clearing the tongue of bacteria and the yellowy coating on it but that tastes like it is full of sugar.  Keep talking guys, its nice to have someone to come and discuss this horrible condition!

Shine your phone's flashlight in the back of your throat to check for a white bacterial build up on your tongue. Also brush deep in the back of your mouth until you gag. If any mucus is back there it will come out. This cured me. 

I hope you have found an answer by now. I wanted to ask if you suffered from heart burn or reflux/GERD as I'm well aware of the smell that can be caused by these problems. Something as simple as calcium carbonate (rennies etc...) can neutralise the acids and reduce the smell.

Another possibility is tonsil stones, these are little hard cheesy looking lumps of  food matter that gets trapped in the holes in the tonsils and putrifies. And they really stink! I got these a lot as kid and then started getting bouts of tonsilitis every few weeks until I had them removed aged 21.

Dr See cases of bad breath every day and there are lots of reasons for them, some indicate poor health or disease and others poor hygeine etc... but they are the best people to help you. 

I've had a few experiences of burps that smelled very much like poo, my GP organised tests asap and did take me seriously, and although it was a little embarrassing, I felt much better once she and I were on the same page and able to do something about it.

Best of luck

Sarah

I think I may have found some relief. May be too soon to tell, but I feel different and my dry mouth/white tongue is going away.
