So I've been experiencing BB for a few years now. Just like everyone else I've tried many things with no success. At first I thought it was my mouth but starting to believe it's something in my gut. I'm tired of getting "did you fart?" comments. Thing is I believe it's in my gut is because I've been suffering with bloating and passing gas all the time. So if I'm passing gas a lot and my breath smells like the exact same...there's got to be a connection. I notice it gets worse when my mouth is dry, which seems to be a lot of the time. Not sure that's due to my gut or because I'm always stressed/anxious around people and it dries my mouth out. Another thing is I think it may be linked to my MERCURY FILLINGS and wondering if anyone with BB here has fillings..? I've also noticed skin rashes that look like ringworms and uti's off and on. I went for a H Pylori test and waiting in results and I've been on the candida diet for about a month now and really not seeing a difference. Thing is I've not always had this. I've had many relationships and they were long lasting. It's hard to pin point the exact time when I started getting comments. Keep in mind it's been a handful only of comments, but those were enough to take precaution around people. I don't feel like it smells all the time, but when I exhale deeply or use certain letters like "H" and laughter. So please let me know if you have fillings, trying to find a connection. I know we can beat this. It's hard to function everyday, trust me I know. You can be handsome and rich and would t matter if you have fart breath. A mentally challenged person has better luck functioning in life than we do! I know talking helps, I've only briefly mentioned it to a doctor, but she was skeptical. I'm willing to keep in contact with people via phone or/and Facebook so we can support each other and figure this out together. It hurts to be alone. Thanks.
Yes I have fillings. I don't think fillings is the problem. I thought the gut might be the problem so I bought all the pills to cure the gut but that did not help.

i know what you are going through daniel,waking up everyday is such hardwork when you know what the day ahead will be like.The idea of meeting people causes me such anxiety that i do feel like sometimes that is it realy worth it living(though i will never do anything stupid)its just extremely lonely having no one to talk to or share my life with.How do one function with this disease?the idea of not reaching ones full potential is just killing.Am just glad about this site,talking about it to people who understands has been a great help for me.Hang in there daniel,we will beat one way or another
am thinking of doing colonic irrigation,anyone done it before?
Well that's the thing. Amalgam fillings cause leaky gut. I'm not saying the fillings itself smell, but it's what the fillings cause in your gut. Look it up and you'll be surprised. I finally got dental insurance and planning on having them all replaced with something non-toxic.
Well just know BB is a symptom of something greater and there is a way to get rid of it. It's just there are so many variables that can cause it and finding what that is can be discouraging.
No I haven't. If you try it, let me know how it goes. Plus I would like to add on this reply and I should of added it to my main post. Just wanted to know from those who are replying if they consider their breath to be "fart breath" because the smell of the breath is important. Different smells mean different causes. Thanks.
Thank God , I av people talking about their pain , at times I feel like committing suicide . I have had it for 4 years. Now . I fart a lot and I also feel serious pain in my stomach
i don't like getting close to people ,each time I am close to them they cover their nose or hold their nose and each time I complain to my family and close friend they tell they don't hear any thing .
it is driving me crazy , currently I don't have a job because I am not comfortable around people .
And also I font av friends , I would like to connect with any body who want to share their story with me . I will be very happy to chat with somebody that feels my pain.

Have you ever been tested for H Pylori? You sound like you have the symptoms of it and bad breath is also a symptom of H Pylori. I feel like I have it, but most say who have it have stomach pains and I don't, but never the less I got tested for it and waiting on the results. You should consider getting tested. I'm trying to do one hung at a time, process of elimination.
How do u go about getting tested what is the procedure?H Pylori
I did a stool sample. I've read up on it and that seems to be the most accurate way to test for H Pylori. I'm still waiting on my results. Should know by the end of this week. Really hoping it comes back positive.
Also wanted to ask if you are by any chance lactose intolerant? I can't believe I haven't thought of this tell today. Thing is I'm lactose intolerant and this does cause gas and I just learned even though I stay away from dairy products, there are other things out there that had lactose and this can contribute to grassiness and bad breath. Next pay check I'm going to get me some digest enzymes for lactose!
Did you get your result for h-pylori? I have suffered with fart and garbage/baby nappy breath especially after eating chocolate and ice-cream, but worst of all even after brushing teeth and drinking water etc. I'm lactose intolerant, but never really had stomach pains unless I drink milk or eat ice-cream. Also my saliva stinks and I have a whitish tongue.
I had h-pylori breath test and was positive. I had metranidazole, Amoxycillin and omeprazole for 1 week. At the time my saliva stopped stinking and I thought I was getting better breath. However a few weeks on and my mouth tastes horrible again and I smelt my own fart/garbage stench when talking to people. I will ask doctor to retest for h pylori and hope that is the culprit. i will keep you informed. I really want saving from this social wrecking ball.
Hi Daniel, I am in the same situation right now. I feel better though when I don't drink coffee or eat meat and spicy food. I also noticed that when I eat , part of the food wouldnt go down , it would stay in the middle of my throat, and I assume that what it causes the bb. I open my mouth wide and I can see something like a pocket on the very back of my throat and think that's where the food gets stuck and causes bad breath. I don't know why I have that. I am so desperate to find the cure for this problem. I have gone to my Doctor and have done a Hpyloris test , which was negative. I take medication for acid reflux, and it helps sometimes but not all the time. I take a 30 billions active cells probiotic and try to eat healthy. please let me know if you found any solution for this problem. Thank you
The Hpilory test is done at the lab. You will have to be in an empty stomach .. They will basically ask you to blow in a sterile container
My h pylori test had came back negative. I was really hoping it was positive so I at least knew what the source was.
Yeah, I've heard for some that those antibiotics work or they work while taking them then return. Right now I'm taking Manuka honey. You should read up on it. It's actually great for h pylori. I think the test was wrong so I'm taking this honey just in case. I've barely been on it a week. It can take up to 6 months. Just really read up on H pylori and Manuka Honey.
