Breath smells like faeces (Poo)

Hey. Thought id join the discussion if it is still on going. Im 29 (just) been suffering with BB since my early teens. Ive been to a few doctors over the years. The first didnt test me but put me on the nexium for h pylori. It seemed to work for the couple of weeks that i took it. Woke up with a freah mouth. It felt amazing. However when i kissed my boyfriend and spoke directly into his face he told me my breath smelled.

As soon as i finished taking the nexium the bb and foul taste returned.

Ive also been given oral thrush drops...did nothing.

Ive tried eliminating dairy from my diet which made no difference.

Ive tried to cut out gluten

Tried chlorophyll juice

Oil pulling with coconut oil

Inner health plus tabs

Fresh yoghurt with all the good stuff

And i also tried charcoal tablets but stopped them due to the fact i heard they can stop the affect of other tablets and i take anti anxiety drugs. (Only been taking them for the past year therefor i dont believe they have anythingo to do with the bb as some people might suggest)

I was interested to know when everyone started experiencing bb. I feel that it is common for alot of people to first have bb in early teens.

Anyone else the same?

I believe mine first started as a fishy smell but now it is definitely fecal breath.

Doctors i have seen have denied there being any smell however my partner and family have made comments and well as others.

I also have a white coating on my tongue which i have used a scraper on however it simply got rid of the white but not the smell. Ice used peroxide and baking soda which works for a day or two and stops the white tongue.

Im worried that i will suffer this for the rest of my life and the thought of that destroys me a little each day. Im at my wits end.

Hi a9, Don't feel alone. I'm going thru the same for two years. For me it began when I was living in a moldy room & the BB after I was intimate w my partner at the time.

how did they discover the h plori? Have you seen a GI?

I've spent all my money on this & desperate to work but this condition makes things harder to even wait in line at a store or walk around in public bc of ppl noticing & giving me dirty looks. So,

Docs also don't smell it at first. My allergist & GI smelled it & said it smells like sulfur.

Last year, I remember it smelled like fish. This year like poo. One ENT diagnosed me w gerd/acid reflux when he smelled my mouth last year. I took the meds but didn't work. This year, GI tested me for silent reflux. I don't have it & told me to stop the reflux med.

I understand your pain!  I, too, am experiencing this awful dilemna.   I have done a little research on this subject--here is what I have found...."Halitosis is typically caused by poor dental hygiene.  However, other factors may be involved, including gum disease, tooth decay, heavy metal buildup, infection of the repiratory tract, improper diet, constipation, smoking, fever, diabetes, foreign bacteria in the mouth, indigestion, inadequate protein digestion, liver or kidney malfunction, postnasal drip, STRESS and too much unfriendly bacteria in the colon.  It can also be caused by a buildup of toxins in the gastrointestinal tract, salivary gland disorders, chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, or diabetes.  Dieting, alcohol abuse, or fasting can cause bad breath as well.  Dieters and people who are fasting may also experience bad breath due to metabolic wastes that give off an unpleasant odor as they are exhaled from the lungs."  Having said all that, these are some of the things that I am presently trying and obtaining good results.  1)  Heavy metal cleansing kit for 30 days   2) Digestive Enzymes taken each meal to help with digestion of protein, fat, and carbohydrates    3) Brushing teeth and TONGUE after EVERY meal plus using a tooth pick brush to eliminate foods in between teeth after each meal   4) Eating a smaller portion of food but more frequently  5) Scraping my tongue 2 x per day  6)  Drinking more water of which some of it is with lemon juice 2-3 x/day  7) Dental flossing every day   8) Rinsing my toothbrushes in peroxide to ensure no bacteria is present  9) Eating more fibrous food to eliminate waste (eating porridge with psyllium is great).  Taking a natural fibre supplement  10)  Eating lots of raw vegetables as part of the cleanse.  (Proper diet and exercise have been proven to be helpful aids in keeping bowels moving!)

Other recommendations according to the research I did are....

1)  Bulk Cleanse

2) Chlorophyll 2 x/day (can also be used as a mouth rinse)  Parsley has natural Chlorophyll

3)  Vitamin C

4)  Acidophilus to replenish friendly bacteria

5)  Garlic - 2 capsules 4 times daily (this acts as a natural antibiotic destroying foreign bacteria in mouth and colon.  USE ODORLESS FORM)

6)  Avoid spicy foods or strong flavored foods such as anchovies, blue cheese, onions, garlic, pastrami,  etc.

7)  Avoid sticky or stringy foods that get stuck between teeth

8)  Use chlorophyll mouthwash daily (do not use commercial mouthwashes as they may kill the bacteria temporarily but soon return in greater force.)

9)  Avoid beer, coffee, whiskey, and wine which leave residues that stick to the soft, sticky plaque on teeth and get into the digestive system causing odor to be released when exhaling. 

If these suggestions do not improve your conditiion, it may be a sign of an underlying health problem.....consult with your doctor. 

Don't give up! 

What is a GP I have this problem as well
