Re: Bad Breath has changed my personality: Part 5

Well Thread Number 4 didn't last long... onto Number 5!

Well, to some of you that have mentioned I sound really depressed. I am , but more so utterly frustrated and crazy inside. Thanks for the support and thoughts, I would never do anything "bad" Just having a little trouble dealing with the present and the past of humiliation of bb.

LPR is like Acid reflux... It has been linked to bb. From what I have read, it does have some of the symtoms I have ...

dry throat
tonsil stones
bitter taste
BB ( of course )

To find out if you truly have it, I think you have to hav a PH test done by an ENT.
Some things to do to alleviate it are:
Adult lifestyle changes to prevent GERD and LPR
Avoid eating and drinking within two to three hours prior to bedtime
Do not drink alcohol
Eat small meals and slowly
Limit problem foods:
Caffeine
Carbonated drinks
Chocolate
Peppermint
Tomato and citrus foods
Fatty and fried foods
Lose weight
Quit smoking
Wear loose clothing

Ginger do you have this, or think you might have? It could very well be a possiblity for me. Good Post!

Re: Bad Breath has changed my personality: Part 5

(Inferno81: The E.N.T that took out my tonsils had bad breath each of the 3 times I saw him, go figure...)

LOL. But seriuosly if my ENT had BB I would loose hope. It would tell me that he couldn't help me.

I have a question! Is there a lot of mucous produced in the throat aswell as the nasal passage? In my case PND seems excessive at times and the build up seems too rapid to all be coming down from the nose.

Re: Bad Breath has changed my personality: Part 5

@Thanatos: Haven’t got a girlfriend yet, but am dating a girl. Hopefully it’ll work out.

As for my meals. I eat lots of fat free yoghurt mixed with muesli (which is based on oat instead of wheat) with added honey, coconut, raisins etc. Furthermore lots of water, fruits (apples, kiwi’s, banana’s), bread with various grains in it and brown rice/seafish based recipes.
Trying to find the right balance between proteins and carbo hydrates. Especially need the carbs, because I play sports a lot.
The yoghurt does make me pass gas a lot. But I prefer smelling from the rear end instead of the front end…

I quit drinking tea, stopped eating all kinds of cookies (wheat) and avoid soft drinks (Cola etc. contains tons of sugar). Instead I mainly drink fruit juices without added sugars

Don’t understand why some people can’t eat any dairy without having bad breath while I can eat as much milk, cheese, eggs, yoghurt as I want to. Perhaps some of you have certain bb bacteria in your mouths that feed off the protein found in dairy while other people like me have bacteria that feed off sugar etc.

Quitting alcohol was difficult in the beginning, but it’s just a matter of getting used to it. It’s healthier anyway and when you go out at night, the next day your friends will be wasted and you won’t be.
Besides, a night of fun with alcohol isn’t worth it when you have horrible breath for the following days…while scraping your tongue like a maniac all the time. I believe scraping the tongue too much and/or to vigorous just makes the situation worse anyway, because the surface of the tongue only gets more roughened up and allows bacteria access within the tongue’s surface.
