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.

    Hi, Glad to hear you got sorted out, and I do think that for some people it could be their sinuses, or both sinuses and tonsil stones, but the thing is, not every one has sinus problems, but they have tonsil stones and bad breath, so I dont think you can say its just a sinus problem..as everyone is different...did you have tonsil stones also?

    If you still have "poo" breath after trying everything to get rid of it, then that usually means your lymphatic system is backed up and stagnant. Even though you might have had your tonsils removed, the lymphatic fluid is still coming out of those areas where your tonsils were.

    Your tonsils are one end of the lymphatic system. Stones can still remain in these "tubes" when the system is being "purged" on a daily basis. Which means the lymphatic fluid is infected with smelly bacteria. So it doesn't matter what you do, mouthwash, gargling, tongue scraping, the fluid is going to continue to come out of your lymphatic tubes or vesels, continuously.

    The best way to cleanse your lymphatic system is to perform an exercise called Rebounding. Rebounding is when you jump up and down on a mini trampoline continuously for 10 minutes every day. Your lymphatic system does not have a 'pump' to move the fluid throughout your body.

    So, if you don't move your body up and down to increase the flow of this fluid, either by running a lot or by using an elipitical machine, then your lymphatic fluid will become stuck or blocked causing it to smell and even develop 'stones' within the system.

    Even if you run a lot or exercise on an eliptical machine, it's not a guarantee that you will have a clear lymphatic system. The only way to guarantee a clear system is to move your body vertically over and over again, up and down so that you can feel your chest and buttocks shake.

    NASA has done the research and they say rebounding is the best exercise you can perform for the health of your body. It just so happens that Rebounding is great for smelly breath and body odor.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebound_exercise

    There are five main organizing themes or perspectives with respect to what is claimed to be special about the health and fitness benefits of rebound exercise:

    -Strengthened Cells: All of the body’s cells are said to be strengthened through the mechanics of rebounding, either because of gravity changes or because of pressure differentials (along with more oxygen reaching cells throughout the body);

    -Increased Lymph Flow & Immune System Function: Rebounding is said to lead to greatly increased lymph fluid circulation, leading directly to a boosted immune system, greater white blood cell activity, and increased detoxification generally;

    -Cardiovascular and Respiratory Improvement: Rebounding is said to directly yield impressive aerobic exercise benefits in terms of heart strength and functioning, respiration, and related physiological functions; and

    -Physical Strength, Muscular Development, Coordination, Balance, and Flexibility: Rebounding is often said to improve all of these.

    -Low Impact, Less Strain on Joints, Soft Tissue, Skeleton: The elastic element of a rebounder, either springs or bungee bands, absorbs much of the impact or shock on each bounce, thereby making rebound exercise more attractive to those who need to avoid shocking or straining their joints, soft tissue, and skeleton. Rebounding is the absolute best exercise for any person over the age of 60.

    So if you have poo breath after trying every possible remedy, then you should definitely give Rebounding a shot. I bet you will see dramatic improvements in your smelly situation.

    Try natural toothpaste which you can swallow too to help with bad breath from inside.

    I realize this post is really old, but I have run into this problem three times in my life. At first I thought it was smoking, but I have since then quit smoking. The first two times I rid my self of this, I drank about two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar (organic cloudy stuff is the best, but doesn't really matter). I repeated twice per day for only about 3 days (or as many as needed) and that cured me. Right now my halitosis is pretty strong so I thought I would try a different approach. I was thinking I could work on my intestines a bit and was doing a cleanse with digestive enzymes (to break everything up) and pysllium husk (expands in the intestine and scrapes them out). I have been doing a fair bit of boozing lately - it is summer after all, and it hasn't worked out for me. I am going home today to go back to my apple cider vinegar regimen. Try it. two tablesppons of apple cider vinegar twice a day until it is gone. It tastes like s**t but it works. I really hope this helps someone. I have run into a couple people with the issue and they don't know about it which is too bad. What about you people? Would you prefer if someone told you or not?

    I tried to respond to this a few days ago, but guess my post won't make it on because I put a bad word in there.

    My suggestions are:

    A full spectrum probiotic or Acidopilus and Bifidus - this targets the nasties in the tummy. Buy at a health food store for quality, should be refrigerated.

    Oil pulling - look it up online, I use coconut oil every morning for as long as I can stand, it draws mucus out of the sinuses very well and whitens teeth.

    Apple cider vinegar - organic (Bragg's brand if possible with the cloud in it). Drink a couple tablespoons twice a day until symptons are gone, drink longer if you want. ACV has A LOT of health benefits and this may help the ladies with some freshness benefits (fyi!). ACV is my go to remedy for halitosis. It has worked twice for me.

    Also, drink less coffee, eat cleaner, drink lots of water, try an intestinal cleanse.  

    Basic intestinal cleanse: psyllium husk (powder or not), mis couple tbsp into water or juice and drink right away (it expands). Could do twice a day until you notice a good consistent change in your #2s. Found at health food store. Psyllium husk expands and grabs a lot of garbage as it moves through you.

    Think of what you eat and drink. Maybe there is something that you should just give up? I think smoking affected me too, but have quit since then.

    I think it's to do with my sinuses or back of my throat

    I guess the smell comes from the stomach. If one can get antibiotics that can deal with viruses in the intestines probably the problem could be solved.

    Hi There, My heart goes out to you. I've suffered from the above problem for more than 20 years and brushed and cleaned my teeth, gum and tongue relentlessly to the point where at times my mouth was sore. Now I know it's caused from constipation which I have had over the same period of time. I have lost many potential friends and it's affected me in all areas of my life. I understand fully well when you say you would rather speak to you doctor about an STD, I feel exactly the same, but there is hope, I will be taking prescription for the constipation and intend to do regular colon cleanse and at last I believe that I will solve this hedious problem. Take care!!!!

    Hey I see you posted over a year ago. Have you had any relief of your problems since then? I've found that a good probiotic and lots of fiber combined with enemas and weekly Colonics tends to help....

      Leah, have you tried the activated charcoal routine? I take 5 tablets, 3 times a day and it helps a lot. How much water do you drink a day? With bad breath, you should be drinking at LEAST a gallon, I personally try to drink a gallon and a half infused with oxygen drops. Not only will this help clear your digestive system (along with the charcoal) but it will also clear out any dry mucus you might not be aware of. Try this rountine every day for 30 days. I bet you see a nice improvement. Do NOT skip a day. Even if you don't see an improvement after a week or two, stick it out. And if you aren't already doing so, NO dairy, sugar, or alcohol. I realize you probably already tried that, but along with what I mentioned above, it should all be a great combination to help you out. At least to the point where you can be around other people. You may also want to look into seeing a chiropractor to see if he sees anything wrong with your spine or posture. The spine can cause problems for many things including silent acid reflux. I hope this can help you at least a little bit! Try to hang in there. I know how crippling this situation is. Always remember that you are not alone. Millions and millions of people suffer from this!

      The probiotic I use mostly is called align. Here in the u.s you can get it at any department store or pharmacy. It runs around $30 a box but you get a months supply. I Take 2 a day. There are others like culturell and by Phillips that are cheaper. Please DO NOT get the cheap 1 month supply for 9.99 and you get another box for free. For me, for some odd reason those give me severe kidney pain. Theyre just not worth it. As far as the colonic goes. Have you heard of colonic irrigation? If you haven't please Google it.  If you are suffering constipation it will remove a lot of what is backed up inside you. And take fiber too. If you do this for at least 30 days you will find some relief. I still have my days but it has offered me some relief.

      Hi There, You have some great suggestions. I know plenty of water is really important for digestive health, but it can be difficult to drink alot of water when you are working and frequently need to use the loo...
