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.

    Here´s my story with this (excuse my limited english). Some years ago, I started noticing people around saying something smell like fart, in other occasions like ammonia, or burnt plastic. As I was the only one who couldn´t smell it, I assumed it came from me (we have a saying in my country; no animal can smell its own odour). I went to a doctor specialized in throath, and after some examinations he told me I had an extremely dry throath (that in my was produced by cigarettes, but it also could be consecuense of alcohol, weed, or any other thing that exposes your throath to long periods of dryness). He just told me to stop smoking and in 2 to 6 months the problem will be over.... and it did.

    If I start smoking again, it takes several months still the problem comes back. So if you´re expose your throath to dryness (it could be air conditioner too), this also could happen to you.

      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.

    Are any of you on long term prescription meds, such as thyroid medication or antidepressants? I know sertraline was giving me acid refluxt, and I am suspecting Synthroid as a GERD and bb culprit, but I don't know.  I am just now switching to another brand to test it.

    I struggled with this for about 3 years until I realized it was the synthroid I was taking every day. I was apparently allergic to the inactive ingredients, switched to a different brand that has different ingredients, and am clearing up. Doc said allergic reactions can create an environment of inflammation, which can cause these symptoms. I am also sensitive to other types of meds, such as rinitidine for acid stomach. Take a close look at meds you take every day and switch brands of you think you might be allergic. Maybe you're allergic to some foods?

    Hello all, my stool test came back that I have yeast. It will take 2/3 weeks longer to get full result but GI called me yesterday & wants to put me on ANOTHER antibiotic. Breath test said i have bacterial overgrowth. also have a naso. .. cyst behind my nose. Getting a second opinion.

    I eat healthy, take probiotics & avoided breads, sugars. Gluten free, veggies, fruits. Electrolyte water has helped.

    continue with your docs & ask questions top make sure you are getting tested properly.

    best of luck to all.

    I have to share this as I have been suffering for ages too.

    i have tonsil stones and waiting to get them removed, there are some on the bottom which I can feel a lot of hardness but the hole are so small there that  it's hard for the stones to come out.

    i went to the dentist who specialises in halitosis and after telling him all the things I have tried he has given me a breath test to see how much Sulfur compounds were in my mouth it's the only machine in my state.

    anyway he said to try sav a col which I already tried and didn't work but what he told me is that I shouldn't use it straight after brushing because they cancel each other out as there is some ingredient in it, so I had to wait 1/2 an hour after brushing and rinse with it for one minute and two times a day.

    yes it tastes like crap but this is working. Do it for 2 weeks. I am up to about day 5. My tongue isn't coated anymore and the other day when there was a little bit of debris on the very back of my tongue I brushed it and the gag reflex kicked it.

    i opened my mouth again and there were two huge stones at the back of my tongue, I was surprised coz this never happens because they only come out if I press on them and they are very tiny.

    the next day I went to clean my tonsils out again because I started to taste them I open my mouth and on the bottom of one of them there was a huge hole with some bleeding on it, this was something new. I realised this must of been the hole that the two big stones came out of. They would of been in there for years because they stank even worse than the normal ones.

    this mouth wash is very good I use the non alcoholic one. And my breath in the morning isn't so bad anymore. Tastes fresher and less coating.

      I agree Bingoqueen, its definitely right to use a non-alcoholic mouthwash as alcohol dries the mouth out and makes bad breath worse. I too have tonsil stones stuck right at the bottom of my tonsils and I do believe that using very strong mouthwashes breaks the stones down.  

      I use pro fresh which has chlorine dioxide in it.  It tastes like a swimming pool but believe me it does the trick.  I notice after a few days that the tonsil stones start coming out on their own, I thought at first it was making it worse but with what you have experienced with your mouthwash, I think it is getting rid of them.

      Only wish there was a quicker solution to getting rid of these stinkers! I notice the mouthwash you use is only available in the USA.  I am in the UK and the mouth wash I use is from the USA but can be purchased over here on Amazon.  

      Lets hope one day that a medical person realises how terrible the condition of tonsil stones is - I know its not life threatening but it does affect your life big time.  Socially, personally and career wise.

      KJJ I'm glad you share my pain and know where I'm coming from.

      I'm in Australia and buy the mouthwash from the chemist.

      I'm on the waiting list to see if I can get them out but now considering getting private health insurance just to do this. My crypts are super deep and I'm over these rotten creatures lol.

      If only medical staff knew how debilitating it is, I've been on the wait list for 8 months and haven't even got an appointment yet.

      Had my tonsillectomy on the 30th August and I'm so much better. My be is gone my coating it gone, that bad taste in my mouth is gone.

      i still get yucky morning breath but that's normal. I don't need to use mouthwash or scrape my tongue as much anymore and my husband doesn't say I have poo breath anymore.

      i still get a little paranoid when people rub their noses but I keep telling myself not to look into it too much they have have a genuine itchy nose.

      i ask my husband if I have be as he is honest and he says no.

      i make sure to floss my teeth and smell it and sometimes it smells but at least the main bacteria source is gone which came from the tonsil stones.

      im so glad I got the surgery done and was free through the public system it was worth the wait as I could afford to pay private.
