Possible cured BB?
Hi All!
For years I have been on these boards reading in here and in BO forum. I had people complaining at work and in public, yet my friends denied anything was wrong. I never knew if it was BO or BB.
I figured out the BO problems, but now I could actually smell a sulfury-rotten egg smell coming off of me. Smoking made it disgustingly worse (like rotten feet and cabbage), I can't eat red meats or pork, and eggs just intensified the sulfur smell. I already avoid gluten and dairy for I.B.S. issues.
I tried EVERYTHING in about twenty years. Every mouthwash, probiotic, vitamin, herbs, GERD meds (in case it was mys tomach issues causing BB), saline, peroxide, and
Grapefruit-Seed-Extract sinus flushes, gargling everything under the sun, and even having several Dentists/Dr.s check out the mouth and sinuses. Still the BB would be constant and really really bad on certain days. As in I would walk out my front door after freshly brushed, flossed, and showered to go to work and a CLOUD of sulfur rotting smell would hit me.
I recently started taking OTC Omeprazole for stomach issues. I stumbled on literature (again) that equated Post Nasal Drip with BB. I have tried every antihistamine on the market as well. Except Allegra. I started taking it over the weekend and BOOM! sulfur breath is gone. It used to linger in my bathroom even after I brushed my teeth. The smell used to linger on the toothbrush and on my hands where the saliva would touch.
Well it has been about three days and it is GONE. I don't now if it is the Omeprazole plus the Allegra that works, or just the Allegra alone. Also, I am using generic over the counter versions of both. There is no reason to pay for name brands. Besides the horrible 20 years of BB and BO of sulfury crap being gone, I also have an allergy med that does not make me tired. Add in I sleep like a baby now?
I will update in a few weeks, but I am pretty sure this is "it" for me. People, I even had tooth extractions bc I thought it was old Wisdom teeth ruining my breath. Now, I am not saying this will work for everyone. But it is proof that if you think it is one thing (like post nasal drip bacteria) and meds you try do not work, do not give up! I finally found the combo that worked for me!
Good luck everyone and God Bless!
