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.

    Hello there,

    I too had a broblem with my breath smelling like Poo. It got to the point I wouldnt want to leave my house. I had jobs where they would think I was farting at my desk and I just would never do that!!! I had to find a job that would allow me to work from home and thank god I found a great career that allows me to just that. I have never had a cavity in my life. I have perfect oral hygene. I brush my teeth at least 3 times a day, Floss etc. I finally told her about my Problem when she noticed me holding my breath when I talk. My sister works in the dental field and I wish I would have talked to her sooner because she SAVED me. What is making the smell of poo is your nasel draneage that comes down the back of your throat. It contains more bacteria and it smells litterally like shit. You need to get a Neti Pot with sailine solution that contains baking soda because this takes the burn feeling that can happen with saline alone and it absorbs odor!! Simply Saline is what I use. It comes in a kit with the neti pot and packets of saline solution packets. I use 2 packets twice a day. In the morning and before bed. I do not have poopy breath anymore!!!!!! Now, you have to use warm water careful for it not to be too hot or too cold. If you do not drink your tap water, then you can not rinse your sinus with it. Let me know if this helps!!! I feel for anyone with this condition. No one wants to smell!! :-)

      I read your article and I am hoping that it will work for me as it did you. Looking forward to writing you again with positive feedback concerning this issue.

      PS: I have also been searching for a a legitimate at home business. Would it be possible that you could share the company that you use

      with me. I have other health issues that prevents me from working for commercial industries. Thank you for your input

      Hi,did the saline solution work for you as I have the same problem ?
    • Posted

      This worked for me. I mix my own saline solution: one mug of warm water, 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda. I poor water into a cupped hand and snort up nose and down back of throat as far as I can go. It takes a little bit of practice but you can bring a lot of green smelly phlegm down from sinuses and up from throat this way.

      I have just had a chest x-ray to see where my continuous stream of phlegm is coming from (it comes up into my throat throughout day) so I am hoping that I am one step nearer to finding the source of the problem. I have already had an operation to drain my sinuses of green stuff but this still fills up on a daily basis - the flushing keeps it under control though. I have at last found a sympathetic doctor - keep changing doctor until someone listens...

      The flushing out with saline has reduced the smells - people no longer hold their noses around me. There is still a mild smell, but nothing like it was before and my life is back on track. Hope this helps.

      I know how you feel and the most frustrating thing is that doctors just don't seem to care (probably because they can't resolve it). I've also been given antibiotics in the past (the usual amoxicilin types) that reduce the smells - but it doesn't clear it and it slowly comes back. But that can bring you some short term relief.

      I've been flushing out now twice a day for about 2 years and I still bring up/down green stuff on a daily basis. Sometimes I remove a strong blockage and huge amounts come up/down following that and the smells slowly get less and less as this happens. It's now part of my daily routine - I build in time to do this. I really hope this helps in some way, I know how demoralising this is.

      It took me 8 years. For me it was just the smell of poo first. That turned out to be a hiatus hernia and an infection H pylori (in the gut) also complicated by coeliac disease. Not diagnosed yet but I know for sure. I have two sisters who have been diagnosed and it is inherited but not always. Even after I got the infection sorted I had to go on a gluten free and sugar free diet. I feel like a human again. You don't have to miss out because I have pudding made with fruit every day and I don't buy anything pre-done. It still comes up a bit at the end of a cycle but I take a few charcoal tablets and that sorts it out. I am socialising with confidence again. It destroyed my life for over 8 years. Don't eat too much fiber as that will aggregate the stomach. Good luck 🍀 Maggie x

      Hi Christe,

      I will try your solution. I've had it for longer than 15 years on a daily basis. I've tried the neti pot before with no effect. Hope it works with baking soda. This seems like the easy answer, and I am afraid that it could be something more serious such as an organ issue, chemical/genetic issue, or faulty pipes allowing leakage out of body.  Doctor's haven't been helpful yet. I will try.

      Hi Angel,

      I have a theory, toxins come from the stomach and grows on the sticky mucous on the back of my tongue and throat ( I'm self diagnosed post nasal drip) . I use a warm nasal rinse four to five times a day. I tilt my head back, half fill my nostrils, wait ten seconds, suck it into my mouth, swiss it around my mouth to get rid of the sticky mucus at the back of my tongue. It reduces the severity of my bad breath for a hour or two. I don't know how to clear the mucus in my throat.
