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.

    thank you for sharing. I feel the same about your story & want to thank you for taking the time to post!!

    you men toned all my symptoms but I don't have pylori. I do have hiatus hernia & next month GI WILL test for BACTERIAL overgrowth.

    I had my tonsils removed but my digestion is still an issue..

    I want to thank you again for your words of inspiration. =)

    I dealt with this problem for half of my life, post nasal drip bad breath, I am 48. I am not allowed to use steroid nasal sprays.  I take prescription reflux pill, eat small quantities of food , drink only water and most importantly use Xlear sinus spray with xylitol.  I also use Neil med sinus spray.  I let the Xlear enter my throat and spit out.  My toothpaste is Colgate and I clean my tongue and upper palate as well.  Lastly, I try to keep active everyday. Hope this can be of help, I used to wonder why was I born to suffer because I had no friends, workplace was hell and I was alone.  Life is opening up now.

      Hi Feelbetter,

      Have you tried a sinus irrigator? If so did it help at all

      Are the meds for sinus over the counter?

      So you do not have any more bb?

      They are found over the counter in North America.  XLear I found in health food stores.  This works for me and I do hope it can be of help to others.  You can get this stuff online too.  I feel much cleaner in my mouth, in the tonsil area.  I spray up to 4 times a day in my nose and straight at my tonsils.

      What's the difference between using this and a nasal wash. Also once you stop using the xlear will the symptoms come back or is this just a temporary fix.

      Hi there,

      I too have been suffering from this for almost 25 years now. When you said you feel better after using Xlear products. Do you meant to say that you dont have bb anymore.

      If so can you please let me know exactly how you eliminate your bb issue.

      Thank you

      This is a chronic problem and I must use this regime a few times a day to help my breath feel clean.  Please note that I take a prescription reflux pill as well.  Talk to your doctor and dentist too, There is no magic bullet as bad breath can be multi factorial.

      Hello Feel better, by any chance do you have hiatus hernia? Also, do you have enough saliva or is your mouth dry?

      Are you taking omeprizole?

      Do you eat chicken & fish?

      Eat any sugary things?

      Did/Do you get hungry an hour after you eat?

      Ever take probiotic?

      Sorry for all these questions, I just didn't know what else I can do because every walking makes me breath out this odor.

      Thank you for sharing your story with us. Hope to speak with you soon.

    You must ask your doctor if you have anything that remotely like constipation. Sometimes it happens that we are unable to identify that we are suffering from constipation. And it is known to have bad breath as its primary symptom.

    Well my victory of beating bb was short lived, lasted one day.

    got my blood results back and hep b antibodies are low so got a vaccine. Still waiting for the h pylori results to come back but I seriously need my tonsils out.

    i press them all the time and stones come out maybe 2 stones per time but small.

    even when I swallow water to tastes like crap. I think because when you swallowed w your tonsils move forward and open letting all the smell and dirty saliva come out.

    im on the public waiting list but still haven't got a first appointment.

    im seriously considering paying for the surgery privately but have no idea what it would cost.

      SOLUTION SOLUTION!!!!!

      My computer keeps messing up so i don't know if you got my previous writings.

      solution is to turn your open mouth up into the shower spray and let it flow forcefully into your throat;SWALLOW TWICE. I do this a couple times a week and wish i had known this in my high school days. I have a successful business which I know I would not have if I had not figured this out. Hope you find this and that it helps.

    Hello Loobs, thank you for responding I have trouble writing back on this site.

    To all-

    I removed my tonsils , per GI suggestion. I'm still healing almost a month.

    I smell Better and smell that the air I breath changes from fish, to poo. I'm still healing so I will update but so far. My diet for months is eliminating sugars, any premade foods to all healthy foods. I'm trying multivitamin with food & better probiotics. I notice I am less swollen unless digesting food.

    I will keep u informed. My train rides & office environment are not easy but I've come a long way from not going out. I take it a day at a time, reduce stress, feed my body every three hours, drink electrolyte water, exercise every other day and have not eaten bread or corn stuff.

    When I cheat & have a gluten free cupcake I notice the Sugar! Activates my bad breath within half an hour.

    I'm still due w another GI test but since i have a hiatus hernia even walking, carrying 12 oz water, or work laptop, train motion is giving me abdominal pain! My GI just tells me to drink Tylenol for the pain but I really need an answer as to why this pain keeps happening with minimal exertion.

    I will update & hope someone find relief soon!

    smile do not give up!
