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.

    Recently I have had tonsil stones coming out. That smell like death. I do have enlarged tonsils but scared to remove them because it might make it worse.

      Try my solution, it worked for me and others here.

      In the shower, with the spray on hard turn your face up into the spray, open your mouth so the water hits the back of your throat. swallow TWICE. your breath should stink pretty bad. gargle then swallow and do it again. I first did it 3 times and it was 99% gone. Works wonders for me and others I've talked to on here. I do it once every couple weeks now just be sure.

      There is high probability that tonsil stones are a result of lactose intolerance. Eliminate dairy from your diet for two weeks and check the results. I have eliminated tonsil stones this way but my bad breath is never fixed.

    Poo smell

    Use two wet cotton buds to clean both sides of your throat while lying down on the bed rest your head on a pillow every night, or whenever. That is the only thing that works for me!

      Hi Princess,

      Do you mean lie down flat on the bed and then clean both sides of my throat? How did you get to clean them.

      You make it really sounds easy. i have tried to get in there without gaging but always end up throwing up without even clean or get to the side of my throat.

      Most of my poo smell comes deep at the back of my throat. Any suggestions? Please I ve been having this problem for almost 25 years now.

    DO I HAVE HOPE??

    Hello Friends

    I am suhas from India I am 28 years old. I am suffering from bad breath halitosis since I was 10-12 years old as I can remember and it was getting progressive in recent years earlier it was just oral bb but from Jan 2018 nasal bb started. And it's became severe day by day to the points point that from Feb 2020 people from 100 meter started giving weired reactions like keeping mobile phone on there ears rubbing their nose putting hands on their nose and now a days I don't know what is the level of my bb it's like Im polluting whole environment around me people starts sneezing coughing scratching their body even people from 100meters away from me. Along with halitosis I am suffering from another medical condition called Ankylosing spodylitis it's kind of inflammatory arthritis

    I think I am the worst case of halitosis.do I have any hope to slow down this rapidly progressing bb it's like my body is started decomposing from within I'm so depserate and on the edge of doing something wrong with myself.

      Hey Suhas am Andrew. I know what you are going through but there is still hope. I too had this issue for years. So bad that you could probably smell me from across the room. I remember when persons use to rub their nose, cough, sneezed or cover their nose when passing by .

      But now am happy to say that's no longer the case. I can't say for sure what changed my condition but I will share with you some of the changes I have made.

      I too have the same issue but managed to control things though it does go out of control at times. Few suggestions:

      1. Completely avoid dairy (all milk and milk products). Those with Lactose Intolerance, dairy consumption can result in formation of tonsil stones which can be one source for bad breath. In fact, most ENTs are not aware of this connection between lactose intolerance and tonsil stones and they do unnecessary surgery of tonsils. Even if you dont get tonsil stones, improperly digested dairy can have any others ramifications especially for the gut which can manifest as bad breath. Remember avoiding dairy means avoiding not just milk, curd, yogurt, cheese, butter, etc but also chocolates. Try this complete abstinence for 2 weeks and see whether things improved.
      2. If this is not benefiting, try avoidance of gluten (wheat, maida-related products).
      3. Try hydrogen peroxide gargle (diluted 1:1)
      4. Avoid tea, coffee and all beverages and sweet/soft drinks, alcohol, etc
      5. Avoid garlic, onion etc. Especially where onion is raw or not much cooked. These wont be the source of your BB but they can aggravate the existing bb.
      6. Do you also have acidity by any chance? Try to do something about it.
      7. Do you have oral thrush (white layer on the tongue) chronically? I have it from childhood. It could be one indication that its something to do with the 'gut' and 'digestion' related issues, inefficiencies. Hence, a trial and error elimination of foods can help with it. Keeping a food diary might be helpful so that you know during the period when the BB became more what are the foods consumed or when the BB reduced what are the foods what was the food pattern.
      8. Right from my childhood, I have both bad breath and also some sort of 'foggy' mind. Later on, I came to know it is called 'brain fog'. Its kind of groggy, tired, fatigued or sleep-deprived feeling which affects your ability to get on with daily tasks. I am now 49. I firmly believe now that both my bad breath and brain fog are manifestation of something which is mostly to do with 'gut'.
      9. No doctor i met in the past many decades were able to help me in any way to understand the issue or better it. Whatever improvement happened is mostly my own observations and trial and error elimination of certain foods.
      10. Though it might not help too much, still there can be some benefit to do 'neti' with lukewarm salt water. This is using the 'neti' pot pushing water through one nostril and getting it out from the other nostril. this flushes internals of the nose, sinus etc and can especially help the nose bb.

      we have the same problem but now I can control my bb. I used to experience the same things that you mentioned and it was really embarrassing that I wanted to die.

      • My advice for you is to avoid dairy products this include milk, cheese, yoghurt, butter or any other foods that contain these.

      • You should also avoid sugar, anything that have sugar. I always check the sugar content of any food I buy. Try to use stevia as a sweetener.

      • You should also avoid eggs, gluten, coffee, tea, bread. I notice that my bb gets worse when I eat these foods.

      • • Most importantly you should drink pure celery juice in the morning when your stomach is empty. Buy a juicer or blender so you can make your pure celery juice everyday first thing in the morning. Wait at least 30 minutes to 1 hour before you eat breakfast so that the celery juice will have enough time to clean your gut.

      •• You may also drink lemon water first thing in the morning 30 minutes before you drink celery juice.

      I know these things work because people don't cover their nose when I speak. I also check my breath by swabbing my finger at the back of my tongue near to the throat then wipe it to the back of your palm or wrist and blow to it to dry the saliva a little bit then smell it. If it smell bad then I know that I've eaten something that I should not eat.

      These are the things I am doing to control my bb that I've been suffering all my life. It may be difficult to do but I must do it to avoid embarrassment when I talk to people and live normally. For now these are the advice I can give you that works for me. Our condition is difficult to cure and not many doctors are aware of this. I hope we can find a permanent cure for our condition, our gut is different from other normal people who can eat anything they want and not worry about bb.
