I feel your pain as I too have suffered from the exact symptoms that you've mentioned for most of my adult life (I'm 44). As you described, it appears that everyone in my city knows about my problem. It has gotten so bad that due to depression, I have now become obese (208 lbs) and dread going out of the house due to the comments that I receive regarding my breath.

For years, I would drive myself crazy trying to figure out what could be causing my bad breath. I have seen numerous doctors (both traditional and alternative) to no avail. The only clue that I received was that my food wasn't digesting.

I saw one practitioner who prescribed HCL (hydrochloric acid). It was explained to me that I should take an additional pill every day with meals until I felt a burning sensation. I got up to taking nine pills with meals without burning and this seemed to help with digestion and the bad breath.

However, for some reason, the bad breath returned. I'm not sure if I should have continued to increase the dosage, but I was afraid to do so since I was already taking so many pills.

I'm now in the process of changing my diet (candida) and eating smaller meals (I am also going to try to not eat after 8:00pm). I am also taking digestive enzymes along with the HCL and Dr. Schulze 's Intestinal Formula #1.

I’m hoping that this new regime will cover both digestion and elimination.

In addition, I make sure I floss and I gargle with peroxide and mouthwash (mixed with a little water).

I’m not going to let this issue take my life away, and I would be happy to give you my email address if you need someone to share in your frustration.

If anyone has any other suggestions, please pass them on.

Hi Lasco,
I really feel for you and i know what a little of what your going through. I experienced it to a degree at the end of high school. I worked out it was mainly due to drinking too much milk at the time. anyway the point of my message is that i've done a lot of research (btw im a med student with a Science degree so i know where to look) and i found 1 article on a 7yr old who had a breath problem. it was found that her gut was producing weird gases which she was excreting in her breath due to too many Antibiotics . She was given 4 months worth of mutaflor, a probiotic containing E.Coli, not your usual lactobacillus yoghurt based ones. After 4 months they tested the gases and she was cured. Follow-up at 7years old showed it hadn't returned. If your confident that its not an oral bacteria issue this might be worth a try. i don't think mutaflor is available in the U.S but it can be bought from Germany. Mpdela did some research when i posted about it a few months ago.
Good luck with everything

i am currently in the same position i'm am in high school and i want people to feel comfortable around me but when someone is behind me or if i pass by i hear them making comments like "he stinks" or "he always smells" i'm really embarrassed and i am pretty sensitive so it ruins my day. now i know some people say that you should use different soap and try mot eating fatty or greesy foods which i do and take showers a lot but even when i do that i still hear it, can someone please help me i can't ask my family because they will only laugh or think i'm mental or something(i can't ask personal questions) and i do not see my doctor that often at all its to embarrassing to ask someone face to face, someone please help i'm losing sleep over this just knowing i'm going to hear the same mean comments behind my back, i feel bad for my friends but respect them since none of them say anything about it when i'm with them but i know everyone i'm near or around knows that i smell, i even try distancing me away from every one as much as possible but the halls are so crowded everyone is near me and i know they can smell it(it literally makes me wanna cry )i need some serious help or i'm going to lose it, i already feel depressed enougn about my looks but i don't want to have everyone suffer from my bad odors even though i shower in the morning,wear clean clothes, wear deodorant, axe, and cologne, but none of ot seems to stop the smell there are sometimes where even i can smell my self what should i do? :(

Well if its your breath than maybe you might have a chest infection coupled with some dehydration. I know the smell of that breath and sometimes smokers get it, only when their immune system is somehow lowered. And this infection for some reason, takes a long time to get rid of. Alot of older people have this bad breath symptom but it either comes from the stomach or the lungs (sometimes from teeth and gums)I would first try rinsing with Hydrogen Peroxide to see just how infected your mouth is...the moment it foams up massively then you got alot of bacteria..if not so much then its not your mouth. I do remember that the hospitals had this breathing thing which looked like an inhaler and the patient was supposed to breath out into it real hard and do it several times. Supposedly, this helped the lungs expectorate the building mucus and bacteria living within it. This was done for older patients who literally sat or layed around for months or weeks with not much exercise within a hospitoal ward. The human body was meant to be moving around constantly expectorating mucus and being naturally swalloed to the digestive system. You might want to look into the H202 therapy listed in this same site. It strengthens the immune system and the costs are very little. And...it cleans out the stomach of all bacteria (unfortunately it sometimes cleans out the good ones to..so after the therapy of bout 20 days..people just rotate down and then stop and then take pro-biotics to put back the good bacteria)

Hey.

I'm currently suffering from the same condition and I know how hard it can be. Has anyone found a cure yet?

hi

Do you happen to have bifid uvula? That little punching bag in the back of your throat is cleft? This could indicate soft palate malformation that often goes undetected but harbors food and bacteria and can cause many allergies, sinus infections and odors. Gargle salt water vigorously every night the last thing before bed until any bits are rinsed away. Consider a nasal lavage system, easy peasy, you don't have to spend money - use an empty well-washed squirt detergent bottle with the nozzly top, the purest water you've got (boil, cool) and a bit of salt.
OR you should know that not all infections of teeth are detectable because sometimes there is nerve death. You could have a very serious dental issue and not even know it. Does one cheekbone sometimes get red? Do you sometimes get flares of the lymph nodes down one side of your body? This is a clue. If you do not see a dentist regularly, get checked out at a clinic right away.
These are two less considered possibilities.
Good luck.
