Breath smells like faeces (Poo)

Hi Andrew, my bb is detected from far away. I eat healthy for months, drink only water & I have this BB. I've tested for many things.

In my case, my GI said that I need daily more fiber to have a complete bowel movement. Probiotics, yogurt otherwise things back up & I breath this odor out.

ENTS kept telling me I had gerd, reflux took meds but didn't help. Then GI tested me for silent reflux & don't have it.

Hey Chris, It could be possible that you have Laryngopharygeal reflux(lpr) otherwise known as Silent reflux. I have this problem but I don't get heartburn. Hence the name Silent reflux. I sometimes have a bitter taste in my mouth, excessive throat clearing, hoarseness and mucus draining down the back of my throat. If you have similar symptoms it could be possible that your silently suffering from LPR. Google LPR and do a little research on it.

Disregard my post.... I forgot you mentioned being tested for Silent reflux and don't have it.

Leaky gut is an umbrella term which SIBO is included. I wonder if I can get prescribed medicine for this if I just ask my doctor? I mean last time I saw I told her it was my gut, but she prescribed me nystatin, which didn't do anything, it's more for oral Candida, which is just a symptom of a gut issue.

Do you have your tonsils?? Google tonsil.stones not all are visible

Shirley many can be deep in the tonsil so invisible. Very depressing

Hi Chris,

I think we found a breakthrough. Try eating all gluten free foods. Don't cheat tho and just eat gluten free. I have been eating gluten free for 3 days now and it was incredible. My co workers were no longer holding thier nose.

Give it a try! It might work for you. It works for me and Leah.

Remember tho all gluten free foods and no coffee.

For 44 years of my life I feel like I am free! This has been the happiest day of my life! Thanks to Leah who discover the solution for us BB sufferer!

MJ

Also avoid eating banana. Tips is if you are not sure of what your about to eat is not gluten free, don't eat it! Better safe than sorry. That's how I do.

Good luck Chris!

Hi MJ, I don't eat bread or banana. When i had a gluten free diet & no coffee I still had the odor. I will try it. I have constipation even from eating healthy.

. I am happy for you!!!! Congrats

Mj, what do you eat for breakfast?

I blend Apple celery and carrots. That's my brkft. I snack on peanuts and raisins and caffeine free Diet Coke. Lunch and dinner is mostly white rice, salad or meat.

Give it a try one more time it might work for you!

Do you have your tonsils?? Sure it's not tonsil stones?? You can't always see them in your throat. For many people they hide inside the tonsils. .. hopefully a solution other than surgery. It's dangerous operation for adults

I eat the same as you except for diet coke. I need something in the morning to physically digest thru my intestines, otherwise my constipation is worse.

I don't have tonsils stones (never did) & docs have checked. My tests come back & I am healthy except for hernia & e coli in stool.

Hi Ela, thanks but I don't have tonsil stones. Docs have checked. They used to be very swollen & even then I didn't have. My body must be fighting an infection. All my tests come back that I'm healthy except for hernia& e coli in stool.

I eat healthy but always belly swollen, constipated, IBS. ...

My GI gave me a med for IBS. so far I'm on day three. The odor I still breath out but not as bad.

I'm also looking for work, I haven't been able to find work bc of this.

You can have eggs in the morning.. If you are in the UK there is a gluten free shop there. The lady who discover this is from the UK. I am in US. Please

I am like you, done everything, spent money on doctors, specialist but dr can't help.

Same here. I didn't eat gluten for months and couldn't tell any difference. I'm so glad it worked for you guys though.

Daniel have you also eliminated sugar?

My GI is giving med for IBS constipation. Have you been diagnosed with anything?

I don't eat sugar.

I was tested for h pylori and that came back negative. I was actually reading on Celiac Disease and I'm starting to honk that might be it. When it comes to digestive disorders, there are many and a lot of them have similar symptoms. Basically on celiac disease though is just cutting out gluten, that will help with symptoms, but the disease itself is not curable. But I've went so long gluten free and it never helped, but also read it can take months to years for left over gluten to get out of the system.

Who knows....

Daniel, thank you for sharing that. I was tested for those I will ask my allergist on gluten being an issue.

I think you mentioned leaky gut before. I will ask my GI is I am diagnosed properly.

Also stress/anxiety can be strong factors. I've ben relaxing more & mood better not sure if its my intestinal meds.

I was reading on serotonin & ox ycoten that the body creates & related to intestinal, digestive receptors. We might not be creating enough. Look into that.

Leaky gut is an umbrella term, so celiac disease, h pylori, SIBO, Candida overgrowth..etc all fall into the Leaky Gut Syndrome.

That's another reason I think it's celiac, because "life changes" that cause chronic stress/emotional stress can trigger celiac disease and that makes perfect sense in my case because that's when I realized my bb.

I know that's why doctors have a hard time with the leaky gut issue. It's difficult to pin point exactly what you have and they just don't know much about it and they won't admit to it so they just say "it's this, or that and here take these pills..not working?...okay, take these..."..lol..hence 'practicing medicine'.

You are right. We can't give up on our bodies we'll get the answers

I agree with you Daniel. It takes time for our body to heal. Maybe I just got lucky for not eating gluten and saw the changes right away! Tho I forgot to mention that I am also taking LGlitamin, chlorophyll and oregano pills along with being a gluten free.

I strongly advise gluten free and take L glutamine. Please try it.

I take L-glutamine and I don't eat gluten. In the past I've slipped here and there on the gluten and was more focused on staying away from meats and sugars, but this time around I'm going to focus more on gluten. I think I'm just going to eat steamed vegetables, beef broths, fruits and probably nuts.

I would like to add something interesting.

First off I've always had regular bowel movements, but my bowel movements always looked different. I was reading about healthy looking bowel movements and what they should look like and I was reading up about how food digest and simple ways to improve digestion. Well...I've always known I ate fast and probably didn't chew up my food properly before swallowing. So, I decided to make sure to chew very well, like my food is to mush so this wouldn't overwhelm my digestive system, since I believe my gut is the issue. Anyways, after a week of doing this, I notice my bowel movements are healthy ones now and they are consistently the same. If you don't know what you poo should look like, go check it out!

My bb is still here of course, but hey, it's stil progress! I was just amazed how something so simple like chewing up your food food could change something else.

It's so horrible. I don't even know when it's bad.. so distressing I'm sorry you are dealing with this also

I'm sorry anyone has to go through this.

I'm positive this is temporary for all of us..just a matter of time.

Some fruits and vegetables triggers BB. Citrus and Brussels sprout makes my BB worst

Hi Ela, I also can't tell when it's bad. At times I feel confident about my breath but get looks from ppl like I'm a dirty person when I know I'm not. At least two docs finally smelled my BB. I also glad for this blog bc the other docs made me think I was "too sensitive" about this issue. They are not the ones living thru this.

Thanks. I've noticed the same.

Had anyone noticed if their breath or what they breath out smells like cheese or mold?

I note what I eat & very strick but notice theses odors as well. It's always worse in outside air vs. Indoor air.

I wonder if our sinuses has something to do with this?

Why is coffee bad on a gluten free diet?
