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.

    Hello ...I suffered from this for a long long long time...and yes water seem to make it worst...I've tried everything ...nothing seemed to work...even doctors they don't really know whats the problem ....what in going to tell you it's 100% free..I guarantee it solve let's say 99 % of the problem ...I'm not a doctor so I don't really know why in term of médecin but...I had contact with more than 25 people who suffer from this including myself and for some reason that from my researches on my being is just a bad habit perhaps after a sinus infection in the child hood or whatever else....swallowing the saliva !!!! ...an average human swallow around 2 or 3 times per min ...I don't know about you but all the people who suffer from this ..they have swalling problem ..maybe not all they life but in some point....in result they accumulate mucus in the end of nasopharynx...so to begin buy some nasal solution or ask doctor something to clear that area even if you think there's nothing there there might be a lot of accumulated mucus..then when you are sure that overthre is clear..second step make you're to get 2 L water per day ( to produce enough saliva ) then ! The SOLUTION!!...for a week ! Concentrate all your focus on your swallowing...even if ow you're reading this you're probably sure you swallow good and enough.. no!! You don't ..if our mouth smell that bad ...we have saliva swallowing problem...saliva is able to kill odor and bacteria so if you practice swalling twice minimum per minutes...it seem hard but when I watch normal people they all do ! ...after like a week the brain get use to it ..and will do it by itself ...we all have mucues and bacteria in stomach and intestines ...it's impossible that the problem comes from there..yes maybe the odors comes from there but my friend believe me I even observe animals closely for a year to even learn from them + my friend kids ...they all smell really bad in some points but !!! The brain automatically swallow right away after..even if you have to do it 3 time or 4 per min ...you'll just get use it...just drink water to have saliva...but swallow well each minute several times believe me in matter of weeks or month ...it will go away ..please so it at least for a week..it really worth it to try...and give me feedback...I don't believe Noone have a bad breath worst than me and if by doing this I'm cured..you will be

      I noticed that people around me cover their faces more often when I eat meat, dairy and nuts. The poop smell is worst when digest these iteams.

      I avoid those items. I noticed people don't cover their faces as much. But, that isn't the answer either.

      Chris,

      I mentioned that it occurs often at the gym, but not that it gets worse at the gym. Could it be me that you are thinking of?

      I don't believe I have the other issues that you have as I had a camera check done in my stomach and in the main there was nothing much to report.

      As a complete aside, how cruudy is the sorting of messages on this website! I work in IT and I can never find anything  unless I follow the link in the email that I received. Grrrr.

      Hi everyone, first I want to apologies for my grammar.  My English is not the best, I been suffering from bad breath for about 11 years. I wish to see people list any other symptoms they have and also any other variables that might contribute to their bb, to see if we have the same symptoms. 

      I have had silver fillings (change them to white...)

      Always stress ( change my life style)

       Had a rash off and on

      Oral thrush

      Really bad acid reflux

      The valve on the Esophageal (my is always open) talking to a doctor to see if that the problem.

      All ways passing gas

      Tonsil had them removed (bad breath became worse) (I don’t recommend anyone to remove their tonsil. Check if you have tonsil stone and remove the tonsil stone with a special tool they sell in eBay.

      I had blood work and everything is fine.

      Spoke to few dental experts and everything in my mouth is fine.

      Had a “laser cleaning” done in my mouth and nothing work still have the bad breath. 

      Check my liver and it fine  with “X ray” and isn’t my live.

       testing for h.pylori and candida was negative

      Dentist did some X-ray of my gums and not bacteria was found..

      Can we all post stuff we have in common so we could try solve the issue together. I strongly agree the problem we have come from the stomach my acid production or mucus accumulating in the throat….

    wow..I'm shocked that so many people suffer from the same problem as I am.

    I am 24 years old and it's my problem for more than 6 years.

    this horrible breath smells like poop and nothing is helping! I tried lots of things..the only thing that helpd me is not in the market anymore.

    it was a suger free lolipop that was designed for those who has bad breath..it was full of ZINC as much as I know and they were helpful for 4 hours of peace. I bought so much of them.."like" lolipop that is their name..I can't reach them anymore..sick and tired..really

      Hi Taylor

      That is interesting, about 20 years ago i was referred to dental hospital to see if there was anything causing the smell, they took blood tests and said i had a zinc deficiency. I took supplements for a while and just assumed that would have been things sorted. I recently bought chewable vit c with zinc as well. They hurt my tongue a bit but maybe they would help? Not sure if you are in the UK? I got them from a popular high street health food shop. Don't want to say the name in case my post gets blocked.

      Hi Taylor. I have no idea if they work without asking someone. It's worth a try for you though. Chewable vitamin c with zinc.

    Hi everyone

    Some of you guys might not remember me whilst some know that iv become part of the furniture in this forum an ancestor really lol. I came to say do not give up on your search for your cure. I found my cure a year ago and I have been living my life and enjoying my fresh breath. I did tell you guys about how I got cured but God sent me to tell you again. Well my bad breath was really bad!! I could smell it, it was the worst and ppl always turned their faces. But all of this was in my head, I had what they call 'halitophobia'. My GP gave me antipsychotic pills for a month and the bad breath was GONE 100%!!! I PRAY HARD that you also get healed as I did. Halitophobia is real guys go see your doctor and get antipsychotics to get rid of the dirt in your brain that's causing the bad breath. I pray I pray I pray I pray you get healed,life with this disease is torture. i pray AMEN.

      Hi Brandon. So are you saying you didn't have bad breath and it was all in your head? Or are you saying that your mental illness was causing bad breath?

      I know i have it , I've been told.

      Hi Loobs. I was so convinced that i had BB,judging by peoples reaction when i speak, also i swear i could smell it when i licked my wrist and at meetings i felt like the whole room was drowned in it. However It was all psychological and i regret having ignored health professinals when they told me that they could not smell anything because i would've solved this problem much earlier in my life. Just before giving up (and doing something i dont want to mention here) after many consultations with specialists, operations and remedies I decided to see my GP and he told me straight away that i dont have Halitosis but i have severe depression from Halitophobia. It all started in high school when a classmate told me i had terrible breath and i guess it had an effect on me psychologically because i was severely embarrased and from then i believed i had Halitosis which turned into depression for 10 years. He then put me on antipsychotics for about a month. PLEASE BELIEVE me when i say on the third day i could physically feel my breath getting fresher, i have no technical explanation as to how it happened. When i asked my GP he says the medication fixed the imbalance in the brain and wiped away all the dirt in the brain causing depression. Guys i suck at words i wish i could explain to you in detail  but if you are one of the guys that when you ask a health PROFESSINAL if you have bad breath and they say you dont, the chances are  YOU DONT. One more thing, i also used saline ear drops AT THE SAME TIME i was on antipshycotics maybe they also played a role/ might even be the main cure ( I had an ear infection at a young age) but also try it NB!!  But since you say you are 100% sure you have it I am praying to God that he brings you your cure, keep on fighting, research, try out remedies and dont give up (i fought it for 10 years) you will find it!!!

      Hi Brandon. I'm so happy for you that you found your cure! You must be the only person on here who has.

      I know my problem isn't depression as I've had boyfriends dump me in the past and told people about my breath. Also my GP would never prescribe anti psychotic drugs, that would be a consultant who would do that.

      Thanks for sharing, hopefully someone on the forum has same problems as you and can also get cured.
