Breath smells like faeces (Poo)

i've been dealing with this and its seriously the worst thing that could ever happen to a person. i've been locked up inside my house for months refusing to communicate with people because i don't want to be that guy. i've spent thousands of dollard on different types of products and nothing works. doctors don't seem to help at all. i want nothing more than to be able to just go outside and sociallize with people, but even thinking about it gives me anxiety. i don't know what i'm gonn do. i dont even have insurance anymore so i cant be persistant on that front. all i can really do is hope somebody finds a cure some day soon. 

Hi folks, to tell if its your tonsils just take a very close look, if you can see white stuff in there, then thats the problem, I get it every now and again, and it can make your breath smell like somethings died in there.

 For those that have had your tonsils out, then clearly its something else, I'm wondering if it might be an idea to try taking some probotics...I have no idea whether this will work, I am just putting it out there...trying to help.

Probiotics are organisms such as bacteria or yeast that are believed to improve health. The idea of taking live bacteria or yeast may seem strange at first. After all, we take antibiotics to fight bacteria. But our bodies naturally teem with such organisms.

The digestive system is home to more than 500 different types of bacteria. They help keep the intestines healthy and assist in digesting food. They are also believed to help the immune system.

Researchers believe that some digestive disorders happen when the balance of friendly bacteria in the intestines becomes disturbed.  This can happen after an infection or after taking antibiotics. Intestinal problems can also arise when the lining of the intestines is damaged. Taking probiotics may help.

You can purchase probotics online, I take a couple a day.

Hi!

Did you sort out or find a cure for this?

Jaymo, everyone is trying to help.  I've read some excellent suggestions here...things I've heard of before!  I will try some. 

One other suggestion is to try eating hot chili peppers.  Cook them a little if you have to, use them generously in your food, if you can stand it, eat one whole.  That will not only kill any bad poop smell in the mouth, thorax, and stomach, but will lower your blood pressure as well.

Give it a try. 

Hoping that since this is so old, you have found the solution to your problem.  I know for sure that if your gums are not cleaned underneath (as in the dentist has to go in and clean them), you will definitely have this smell.  It does not mean you do not keep your teeth as clean as possible.  You are definitely not the first person with this complaint and you will not be the last.  It is very common in the dentist office. 

Following, I need advice on what area of Medicine and who to see. 

Hi,

Sorry, about my previous post .This is my mistake. And I also want to delete that post. So thanks.

 

Stomach disorders means Zenker’s diverticulum, Ulcers, GERD or an obstructed bowel can affect your breath, making it smell like faece.

The problem most of you are having, and you don't realize it, is your sinuses aren't draining properly. Whenever someone has bad breath even after they brush and gargle is because of the sinuses. The sinuses are ideal places for smelly bacteria to thrive in. They are dark, warm, and moist. Tonsil stones and stomach problems are rare causes of bad breath. Tonsil stones are a lot more common than stomach smells. But tonsils alone can definitely cause bad breath IF you have thick post nasal drip. The mucus gets stuck inside the tonsils and becomes stagnant. But the tonsils are not the SOURCE of your problem. They just add to the smell. The source of your problem is your sinus and/or nasal chambers.

If you have a white tongue in the morning, you scrape it and your tongue is pink, then a few hours later it is white again towards the back, then that means you have thick and stagnant post nasal drip. When you combine the sinuses with thick mucus, tonsils, and tongue you have FOUR culprits that can make your breath absolutely disgusting. All kinds of smelly bacteria can be in the mucus. "But my mucus doesn't smell when I spit it out!" Yeah, most mucus doesn't actually stink. The place that is stinking up the joint is caused by the bacteria that is hiding under the mucus caked on your nasal walls, sinuses, back of tongue, and tonsils.

The mucus caked on your sinuses and nasal chamber is old and can sometimes be years old. You could compare it's stickiness to glue. It's very hard to get off. Again, the smelly bacteria is hiding under that sticky mucus. Your body produces the thick mucus to cover up the bacteria, but in reality your body is causing all of your smelly problems. Your body would rather smell than have bad bacteria roaming around everywhere.

Your nasal chamber and/or sinuses aren't draining properly. Either because you have an obstruction somewhere up there, like a nasal valve collapse, cartilage that is blocking the flow of mucus, or even a cyst. If your nasal cavity is blocked in any way, shape, or form, 90% chance your breath stinks.

The thick mucus is the first sign of this, along with the white coating on the back of the tongue. If you are constantly clearing your throat, wake up at night of a sleep apnea, your voice is hoarse (especially in the morning), you are always having to blow your nose, you get tired easily, your nose runs more than normal while/after you eat... these are all symptoms of a blocked nasal cavity or sinus.

Try doing the following to properly diagnose yourself. Grab both sides of your cheeks near the middle of your nose and pull up and out with your fingers. Do you breathe better when you do this? Clear your throat over and over again as you have your cheeks pulled out. If you are clearning a lot of mucus out while doing this, then you most certainly have a blocked area in there somewhere.

In my case, I had a collapsed nasal valve on my right side which would clog up the mucus. As soon as I lifted up my cheeks, the mucus would drain like mad and I could tell my breath was completely fresh again. I had to have surgery done by a PLASTIC surgeon (not a regular ENT doctor) but a skilled plastic ENT surgeon. They know what they are doing and will fix your problem. Most of the time your insurance will pay for the surgery since your problem is caused by a deformity.

If you are in the UK or Europe somewhere, then you should definitely look into the "titanium splints" that some doctors use to keep the nasal cavity wide open. This will solve your problem. While you are there, ask them about your tonsils just to make sure. He might suggest you have both procedures done at the same time to kill two birds with one stone. But in most cases, your tonsils aren't the source of your problem.

Nasal deformities can be caused by weak facial muscles, especially around your mouth. If you sleep with your mouth open, this means you have weak facial muscles. You should also look into Myofunctional therapy. This deals with all kinds of nasal and mouth problems. If you sucked your thumb as a kid, or a pacifier, those terrible habits can cause open mouth posture, which will give you all kinds of problems in your adult life. Crooked teeth, swallowing problems, a weak tongue, weak face, open mouth, sinus problems, etc.

I hope this shines some light on your problem. Most all human body problems are simple in nature. Don't try to overthink this. The fact of the matter is, your normal thin and foamy mucus can't drain properly. So it builds up over time and becomes extremely thick and sticky, which invites bacteria to thrive in its environment. That's it!

I forgot to mention, a great way to stretch out your nasal cavity and sinuses is to perform excellent posture throughout the day. While you have good posture, perform this exercise and it will help drain your mucus...

With your shoulders back, chin up, stomach forward, keeping all that in place, start doing chin downs. Chin downs are done to stretch the top of the neck and bottom of your skull. Try to touch your chin to the top of your chest while having perfect posture. At the same time, clear your throat over and over. Do this throughout the day as much as possible. You will start to strengthren your neck muscles which will help your mucus drain better. You can try lifting your cheeks up at the same time for maximum drainage. Hope this helps!
