Pockets at the back of your throat? You saying you have tonsil stones? If so, that very well can be your problem. I hear those tend to smell pretty horrible.
try to take castor oil one hour before breakfast, i took every day for 2 month and it will stop bb from 2 day but the person advise me said take it for 2 months from tomorrow i will stop and will see the result if bb will comeback or not
Hey Daniel not sure if you found a solution but I suffered from the same thing...here's what I want you to do ...you might suffer from a condition called lpr ...it's a reflux condition...look up the diet . It can cause post nasal drip which in turn causes tonsil stones and bad breath. Tonsil stones can be hard to find ..take a flash light and all the way in the back like towards the side of your mouth (each side) ..peel back the flaps of skin and you might notice a bunch of gunk and some stones ..there hard to spot but once you find your trouble areas you'll find them more easily...I even went to a throat specialist she said she didn't see any but when I got home I dug and found a bunch of them ..it's almost like popping a pimple they come up when you push on the skin .these two conditions can cause horrible breath...good luck
Well i hope all is better with your breath now, if it isn't consider your bowel movement. Would you say that your bowels come are regular? Once or twice a day? Does it happen that you feel it has been more than a day since you used the restroom? If yes, note the frequency of how often it happens.
Since you say the smell of your farts is about the same as your bad breath, you must not rule out the possibility that it has something to do with your stomach and constipation in particular, which results in improper digestion and further compounds the problem.
Try a high fiber diet.
hi, I was just curious as to know if youre still going through this. I can relate to you and how you felt at this time. I too am suffering from the same problem.
Daniel,
just found your post and it was something of a relief to discover that i am not the only one - not that i would wish this on anyone!
The embarassment of this is destroying my life and i am becoming a recluse. Eating out, being in confined spaces with other people, barbecues, etc., cause me real anxiety as i dread the possible onset of symptoms. As a consequence, i just avoid such situations, but this is no way to live and i am miserable.
The worst of it is that when it happens, i am the only one that doesn't know as i can't smell it - as with all bad breath instances. Plus, it's not like you can go up to someone and say, excuse me but do I stink?
I did pluck up courage and seek medical help, but they just seemed bemused and tried to suggest that it was all in my head. One even suggested that i should just ignore it. My response to this arrogant idiot was to inform him that i would like to give him the symptoms for a day and see whether he could just 'ignore it'!
I hit a brick wall with the NHS and resigned myself to my fate, but it seems to have got worse of late and so desperation has re-ignited my efforts to find a way forward.
I have fillings that are silver and i guess they have mercury in them. My teeth are in very good condition though and so i know the odour is not from there.
I asked a couple of close friends if I have bad breath and they stated definitely not. So it is an intermittent thing. I think it is more prevalent after eating, or when I am training in the gym. After drinking alcohol, the room that i am sleeping in will have a strong odour that will be there in the morning.
It is interesting that you occasionally get UTIs as that is quite unusual for a man. I also get this and the doctors could never understand why it should be. It could be coincidence of course, but it is so unusual that it makes me wonder!
Would be good to hear how you're getting on and feel free to get in touch. That also goes for anyone else that is cursed in this way. Would be great to get a combined effort to try and crack this as it would give me my life back.
Try keeping away from foods and beverages with sulfite preservatives or excessive sulfites -- beer, wine -- lots of processed foods etc -- that has helped me -- in my case
I have the same issue, really depressing me as I am an open person and love to talk and meet people, but this BB problem is like a chain holding me back. I take very good care of my dental hygiene and my BB is still there. I had an appendectomy surgery a couple of weeks ago because my appendix was inflamed and I've noticed something very wierd after the surgery. I've noticed that I woke up with 0 BB. At that time I thought it was my appendix that was causing my BB, but a couple of days after BB was #@$% back.
Usually when i wake up my BB is worst, but when I woke up from anasthesia there was absolutley nothing which was wierd. Since this surgery is done under general anesthesia, when you wake up usually your GI tract is still not working, so it gave me a clue that my problem is due to my GI, something with the movement of the GI tract. I will be going to a doctor soon and making a stool analysis and an endoscopy hoping to find something. Hope this helps others with the same problem which surprisingly no one has found a cure to.
Hi, same issues here but (in my case) greatly lessened by keeping away from certain foods and drinks that I found out later the common ingredient in them was sulfite preservatives -- or loads of sulfite in beer, wine, processed meats, dried apricots, black tea, which I think is dried using sulfite?(green tea is okay). Somehow, this type of preservative or naturally occurring in brewed drinks, converted to something like a hydrogen sulfite element in my breath (rotten egg gas) It does seem strange but there it was. Conversely, some brewed health drinks like Keffer water work well for me - -making me regular etc Taking turmeric has been good for my gut. Sulfite preservatives are in a huge range of foods and can come under different names - -all the best.
Omg I feel your pain I left my Job do to BB and I try my best to stay at home and not go to crowded places is just the worst u can brush your teeth a million times and yet it will still have a smell it's horrible people assume your disgusting or u don't try your best to be clean and have your mouth clean but it's not much u can do about this problem and like u said it makes it harder if u don't know the cause of it now I'm so anti social and I was such a out going person this has destroyed my life and that's a understatement hope u find the problem good luck
Sucks for me because Im still in school and nobody wants to sit next to me and always spray colon where I sit. Sucks having this type of problem. The struggle is real to socialize.

Thanks for responding. It's been awhile since I've been on here. Seems like there's no solution and being in here is just a reminder and causes me stress and anxiety and makes things worse.
Just got this. Been awhile since I've been on here. I'm 35 years old and this has been going on few a few years now. My parents say the same thing, but me ex directly told me it stunk. It never use to when I was with her for years. Not sure what changed. I've asked her again via text if my breath still stunk, but she never replied.
I feel like you're on to something. I notice after coffee, beer, cheese or anything that dries my mouth, like stress from thinking about it too much, really causes it to smell.
Sometimes I think mine doesn't smell constantly, but I'm not sure. I know if I've been working all day, my mouth feels dirty, but I think that's not totally abnormal. Some people just have really good oral bacteria. Guessing I don't and have to be extra careful what I consume and make sure to brush after meals and try not to stress because that causes dry mouth. I have notice the little things on your tongue, on mine they seem a bit long, and seems bacteria loves to just cling to it.
Daniel,
Like you, mine has got worse recently. In my case it may be because I am now on medication for the rest of my life and I know from past experience that antibiotics can trigger the problem; just another kick in the teeth!I wonder if you have started medication recently that may be causing your issue to worsen?
Unconnected with the above, I am currently on antibiotics for a water infection - it's unusual for a bloke, but I get one approximately every two years. After lab analysis, the doctor informed me that the particular infection was normally only found in the gut. She then asked me if I was heterosexual, which I assured her I most definitely am! :-) Thing is, I am convinced that my issue is coming from the stomach and is to do with the passage of food through the body. I think something intermittently goes into reverse, which ultimately results in chronic BB. This may also be the root cause of why I keep getting these infections and why are bacteria that should only be in the gut, is appearing elsewhere in the body!
Does anybody else get intermittent infections, beyond the norm?
As an aside, if those aliens land I hope they bring some alien technology that will sort this out! ;-)
Hi daniel, AM new here but have been suffering from BB a long time. seen couple of doctors but all say the same thing, Maybe it the environment am am living in. There are ni good dental sectors where am at so its frustrating and Socially am a wreeck because i cant face my mates to do anything.. will like to connect.
Hi Daniel just come across this post, scrolled down so much hoping that someone had come up with a solution but no Got same problem, i saw an advert on tv once and only once advertising something for bad breath, it was in Boots Chemist, went in there but couldn't see anything related in the tooth brush toothpaste or mouthwash dept. Going to a wedding soon, guess ill just have to keep eating strong mints. Or apply some oil of origano to my toothpaste, burns a bit but sure does freshen the breath! Ive got an upset tummy again so also wondering is it coming from my gut though it feels like my mouth going by the bitter taste ive got.
