need help. please.
i'm a new member and found alot of useful information on this site through my research on a problem that has plagued me for a good 6+ years.
i've been dealing with breath that literally smells as someone put it "hot boo-boo". Despite the antedote, i'm in despair and short of throwing up the white flag in so many words. the almost daily degradation is heartbreaking and i don't know how much more i can take.
i did have dental problems which is now healthy per my periodontist and i just go for routine cleanings.
after the g.i. specialist, they only could concur was inflammation in my stomach lining and gerd. all the gerd medicines made it worse even the protonix. that's when i came across low stomach acid.
i started w/betaine(650mg 4 w/meals), vit e, zinc, and goldenseal. also change of diet and incorporated psylium husk. the odor went away and when i discontinued the goldenseal it came back but not as often and as bad. i also started probiotics-about a month now, and just recently grapefruit seed extract hoping this could be a longterm stand in for the goldenseal.
i suspect it may be bacterial and digestive transit. as in when i eat something that doesn't make anyone else in my household ill but i do and the smell is awful and back w/a vengeance.
i feel this is too fine of a balance to walk and i have limited resources, i would love to talk to a naturopath (and this should be covered by insurance!)but i cant stand the 'it's in you head' nose covering, coughing, spraying and sighing. i've delt with areas where i sat at work being empty. i'm hurting so bad and am having a hard time going on.
