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.

    For as long as I can rember I live with this BB and Irritation to my tongue,brushing my teeth coutless times in a day only to have that bad taste come back in just a short time.Thinking that it was my tonsils I have taken countless bottles of amoxicillin with no success. A doctor once said that the Irritation to my tongue was from Post Nasal Drip, but gave me suggestion for relief.I read here on this forum about using neti pot or Sinus Rinse.This work with much success the first time I used it, the bad taste and smell was gone,my mouth and was fresh for hours! I still brush my teeth after each meal and use the Sinus Rinse twice a day that seems to wroks for me.

    I'm not saying this will work for all but it's worth a try.

    My first time on a forum and I have to say, I would've never thought so many people suffer from bb! I'm 18 years old. Got bb in 9th grade right after I got braces I always thought it was a braces but once I got off it was still there. All my high school life it was really tough but I'm still blessed to say that I still have my friends.I never really bother telling my parents about this cause they would think I'm crazy or my doctor too. Awhile back I read somewhere that intestinal worms might be the problem, iI searched it up and I have most of the symptoms (pin worms) I'm gonna go to the doctors and hopefully get some medication.. I'll keep everyone posted on how it goes.

    Also, I have mucus in the morning. stomach pains right when I wake up I'm honestly never going to change my eating habits cause I love junk food but I'm not overweight or anything. I am average weight if that helps

    Daily brushing, flossing, and scheduling regular hygiene and dental visits twice a year are great ways to reduce all the dental problems.Try this as well gaggle your mouth with salt water daily.

      If only it were that simple! Are there any doctors reading this discussion?? Surely some doctor out there could do a study and find a cure?? We have all spent a fortune looking for cures but nothing works.

      Hi Loobs,

      I found a cure for my BB. Read about candida. And about GUT. I Think that's what we have. I bought all the recommended pills to cure candida and to heal the GUT. I have been taking this pills for only a few days and it works! Google what is candida and how to cure your gut!

    • Posted

      Wow that's quick! That's amazing you have found the source. I really don't think I have candida as I don't have symptoms. I also drank kefir for a couple of months which is supposed to get rid of candida. However I am willing to try anything. What are you taking?

      I am taking, priobiotic 100 B, enzyme, L glutamine, sinc, Caprylic Acid and omea 3 fish oil.

      I have bad breath since I was born i think. I did everything I could to find out the problem and I think I just got a break through at 42 yrs old!

    • Posted

      I am the same, my whole life has been tainted with this bad breath and I am 42 this year. Let's hope I get the same results. I've just ordered aloe Vera gel to cleanse my colon so I will order all the things you have taken too. Hopefully I will be posting positive results too.

      Be sure not to eat the foods that triggers the bad smell. Try not to eat corn and soy. I had been eating just veggies and apple then took the pills and instantly the bad smell was gone. The. The other day I went out to the restaurant and had some Thai food. Then the next day o cooked some chicken with veggie, breath still fine. When I was at work today, we were so busy and I'm all stress out and the smell came back on. I Read that stress can also trigger the bad breath. I'm not sure if this is the cause of having my bad breath back or it's because from the foods I ate at the restaurant or the chicken sad. I need to find out why the smell came back on.

      I am goin back to eating just apple and steam veggie tomorrow to see ifso the my fresh breath will resume.

      Don't buy the pills yet. Give me a few days to experiment this. I hate for u to spend more money to something that don't work. I'll keep u posted!

      Hi Tad,

      I take one pill a day on all of them. The pills are no longer working for me tho 😂 So sad.

      It did work when I was only eating apples and veggie.

      im frustrated right now and eating all kinds of food including coffee. My breath is so horrible right now. I do get some relieve for a few hours by gargling Tea tree oil.

      MJ 😂

      Hi No I ordered on internet. Try google it.

      This antibiotic was suggested from someone on a different forum not on this forum.

      So I google it and did a little bit of research.

      And then order it. For my son, it took only 1 day and its all gone. Even his morning bb all gone. I am so super happy. So Im going to give him priobotic as well.

      Thanks and try to take priobotic as well. As I am going to try both now and see if will work on me. Goodluck.

      My other 3 kids are still on priobotic and still working on them.

      Just to let you know. Thank you.

      Thanks. I have yeast infection also. I don't know if that even matters 😢

      Sigh I'm so tired spending money that don't work 😭.

      My breath gets really worse when I eat foods I'm not suppose to. It's just so hard to eat just veggies and apple. My friend don't even brush his teeth at night and wake up with fresh breath! So unfai!

      Same here. I used to order Therabreath products. They are very expensive.

      It worked for a few months on my kids and then stopped completely. So frustrating.

      But I few relieved now that all my kids are cured now. Hopefully for life time. I think by taking antibiotics. It kills both bad and good bacteria. Im just saying. Im no doctor. But yeah I am going to give my 21 son both erythromycin and 100 billion priobotic. And I will try taking them and see if they work on me. Dont give up. I know that feeling. I feel so depressed not for just myself but for my kids as well. They never used to have friends becos of this😢😢😢for a very long time. But now Im so thrilled and thanks to you for that. So dont give up. Try that antibiotics and let me know please. Goodluck.

      I have a question Leaheva, does your husband has a BB? I know that my parents my siblings has BB too except for one brother. I don't understand all family members have BB except for one 😭. My family members just accept the fact that they have BB coz they can't do anything about it and certainly cannot afford to buy products to even try to cure BB. I got lucky I guess to be here in the states and can afford to buy and see all this doctors that certainly can't do anything about it either! I am so frustrated right now, depress eating a lot, getting fat, drinking coffee and boy coffee is the worst you can have! I have a 14 yrs old son and he's going through the same thing and it kills me to see him go through this. I have not giving him anything yet coz I want to try it on me before giving it to him. Believe me I don't mind to just die but my son is the keeping me from doin something terrible. People with BB has no life at all and that's just so so sad 😭😭😭. So what is the point in living if u have this condition?! 😭😭

      Hi mj. No my husband now doesnt have bad breath. He only cant smell me. He has less sense of smelling so that is so lucky of me. My first husband left me over this. Which was so hard broken. I was so devastated and thinking of committing suicide but it was my son whom he was six at that time kept me going. He wasnt born with BB but when he reached the age of 8 then that all started. I tried therabreath products on him first which worked for only a few months and from there went downhill. He goes to school and played football. He has no friends or g/friend and that is so heartbroken. Im not daying this becos Im his mother. He is a very attractive boy whom any girl would dreamed of being his girl. And of course you would know the rest why he has no girlfriend. Anyways I met my 2nd husband long story short. I have now 3 kids and they all have the same problem. They all didnt born with BB. They all started in their different age. But thanks to you now they are all so happy and telling me that they have friends. So yeah I know how you must feel now. Dont give up.

      Have you given your son priobotics yet. Try giving it to him. Because priobotics alone stopped all my 3 kids BB.

      Im the only one now that still struggling. At least now I only have to worry about myself. And I am determine to find the solution. I hate my doctors for dont eanting to see me because they think its all up in my head even though I know they can smell me. They dont want to admit because they dont want to say they cant find the solution. So I am so on my

      wit to try go extra miles to finding the cure and prove to my Dr, ENT Specialist that I am able to cure my 4 kids and myself hopefully very soon. So yeah trust me BB is far more worst than any disease out there cos we wont have anyone come close to us.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

      Hi,

      At least we now know that our problem is not due to neglect or lack of oral hygiene, but there is so much ignorance sorrounding this topic which makes this invisible condition so frustrating to deal with. I thought I had solved it by taking a prescription medication, but as soon as I stopped taking it, the bad odour returned, so it seems that I may have to continue using it for life or a very long time or unless I find another solution. I have used probiotics unsucessfully, but from what I have read it seems I need to try a better quality one. Hope you do find something that works for you. This problem is truly depressing, but sometimes I console myself by thinking that I could be inflicted with a life threatening disease which would be far worse.

      Hi there,

      You probably feel worse about you bb problem because of other people's reactions. I know how it feels when other thinks that you are filthy and dirty and it's your fault, but you know better so you shouldn't judge yourself by the standards of ignorant people. You can also help to compensate for this condition by being positive and making extra effort to look good that way you will feel much more confident. There are many suggestions on this site which I have found useful, so try and read as much of them as possible and see if you find anything useful. I think the majority of bb problems that are not related to oral hygiene are due to digestive disorder/s, but other people have mentioned sinus problems...

      Hi yvonne

      Can I ask you what sort of antibiotics you are taking.

    • Posted

      I do try to look good everyday, bathe everyday. Wear high end perfume to compensate my BB. My co workers often ask me if I have a date.. I have had several dates but I ended up getting dump at the end coz of my BB. Too bad coz a lot of people says I do look good but men of course cannot stand a Women with a BB.

      I just heard from my sister today and she told me that the pills I told her to buy works! She was thrilled and very happy. She is taking the pill with a strict diet. I am happy for her tho I know that if she mess up and start eating all sorts of food, the pills won't work 😪.

      I have been depress lately but I will try to be more positive and get back to my struck diet to see if the pill will work again.

      Hi mj.

      What sort of pills your sister is taking?

      Is she taking the same pills you posted last time?

    • Posted

      It's not a antibiotics. It is a product called Laxido which I get on prescription from my doctor, but can buy over the counter from the chemist in London. Hope you find this helpful.
    • Posted

       I do understand you frustration and hope that you will eventually find a solution. Maybe you should explain to your next date that you have a medical problem that cause bb and if they genuinely care for you, then hopefully that won't put them off and you will get empathy instead. Good luck.

      Yes.

      She did not have a lot of money so I told her to just buy 3 kinds of pill which is the 100 b probiotic, enzyme and the L glutamin + gargle with Tea tree oil. She told me it works so I'm very happy for her. I hope it will continue that way .

      Thats good. We dont have lots of money too. I have spent all my savings to buy products that are not working. All my hard work flew out of the window for nothing. But I guess we just have to face the fact that we are not do fortunate to have good bacterias in our systems. But will get through this.

      Im guessing evryone is different and depends on the age as well. So if I have a break through which Im praying that I will get a solution. Then I will post it here again.

      Dont give up and just to let you know. Im on a yo - yo diet.
