Re: My Fece and Bad Breath Odor (((((PLEASE REPLY))))!!!!Its ruining my life.
I've suffered with BO since I was a teenager and I am beginning to think this is a result of over active mucus and sebaceous glands mixing with bacteria on my skin. I can keep it in check for the most part but can't go as long as others without bathing. Try Hibiclean or similar product for bathing to cut down on bacteria on your skin. I use clinical strength deodorants even though sweating is not a huge issue for me. This has been helping for underarm odor.
I thought that because I had so many odor problems that my hair, body and breath odor were all related. I've been tested for metabolic disorders and came back fine. I haven't been able to rule out that all of these things aren’t related but I did find out something interesting about my breath odor just a couple of days ago. I have tonsil stones! Never knew this and I have gone over 15 years with halitosis (always had fairly good dental health and don’t have periodontal disease). I just got really frustrated that everyone I talked to would cover their noses and that this situation has impaired my social life! I've been searching online for cures for years and have tried almost everything there is for halitosis and nothing worked. I’ve known about tonsil stones for about 6 months now but didn't think this was my problem because I didn’t have the symptoms. I even remember two of friends discussing this years ago saying they had them and could see them and feel them and I thought this was just gross but again I never saw them or felt them so didn't this was my issue. Well my bad breath came to a head last week...I could actually taste decay and thought my crown had cracked. After realizing this was not the issue I started poking around in my mouth with a toothpick and inadvertently poked my tonsils and a little white debris became visible! Poking must have pushed it to the surface and surprisingly I realized I had stones in both crypts! If you know anything about this they are foul rotten little boogers! I got out as much as I could. Did some oral irrigation with my waterpik and can't even begin to tell you the relief I experienced immediately. I passed the spoon test, the wrist lick test and the hepa face mask test (yep I even bought these masks to breath into to determine just how bad my breath was)! And no odor! First test was last night out with friends who always found creative ways to cover their noses when I spoke. Absolutely no reaction when I was talked last night! This has done tons for my confidence. Please look up as much as you can on youtube and other sites to find out more about this. I can't believe that within two days of poking and squeezing out these stones I have been able to get my life back. Keep in mind that I never knew I had this problem because I couldn’t see or feel the stones. Just poke around in your mouth to see if this might be the issue. They were stuck in my tonsil crypts. Also I have come to realize that I have post nasal drip and have been able to make the connection online that this is the major factor in the formation of tonsil stones. I now want to help as many people as possible. This isn't expensive to maintain. I picked up a blackhead remover for $10 at the drugstore yesterday to use instead of the dental pick I used the other night to get these out. Also you'll likely need to do oral irrigation on a regular basis to flush out debris and this might prevent them from forming. Email me if have any questions. It's only been three days for me now since I discovered this issue so I am no expert but please investigate futher to see if this might be the source of your breath problem.
