I am mostly cured - want to help you now!
So as the title says, I am cured - for like 95% - and this shall be the "Thank you"-thread where I want to tell you everything I did + help you guys.
So basically, here are some things I can remember (will update later for completion):
- BB since when I was about 12 years old
- Could smell myself
- Tonsils removed, Deviated Septum fixed - didn't cure me
- Endoscopy done twice, H. Pylori done thrice (blood, endoscopy, stool) - negative
- Symptoms: I brushed my teeth and in about 20 minutes the breath was bad again
- BAD morning breath
- Not too bad daily breath (but still pretty bad for usual breath, fecal, rusty, fishy)
- I have a weakened LES, little bit of GERD (which I thought is one of the causes)
- Have pretty bad bowel movements (bloating etc)
- Was once on a course on Amoxicillin which cured me temporarily
- Was once on a course Metronidazole which also cured me temporarily
So things which helped me a lot were reading about antibiotics, how they work, what bacteria really is, how odour is produced and what the main causes of BB by other cases are.
So i dug into GERD, weakened LES, bowel obstruction and did a test for different bacteria and other indicators of problems in the colon/gastro-area.
Found some interesting things (some of the bacteria were populated to much, some of them to little) - where I firstly did some natural approach of taking LOTS of probiotics + ozovit. That didn't work that well, although it got better in the first days but then got bad again (maybe even worse).
Then I had my Wisdom teeth removed, which gave me very bad taste/smell in the first few days - so I thought this is the cure. It appeared that the moles got a little infected and I got Clarithromycin (antibiotic) for 7 days - which 100% cured my BB - temporarily.
Then the BB got back again. I started to look for connections - and it appeared that all of the antibiotics seem to cure my breath temporarily. So maybe it was stupid of me (luckily not as it turns out) that I just got like 2 big packs of Metronidazole (am I legally allowed to share the source where I got it here?) and took it 500mg TID (every 8 hours) for 10 days straight.
As expected, it cured my breath from day 1 - and after I ended the course it stayed like that. I am now about 4.5 months BB-free most of the time (still I have two little concerns - see links below).
Hope this is like a little help, any questions are welcome.

BB from exercising: viewtopic.php?t=6272
A few notes, please don't just try that out with the Metronidazole (as it was a lucky shot I guess for me) - please get tested for various bacteria (overpopulation, underpopulation) in the colon area - especially if you have fecal breath. Also what seems interesting to me is that Amoxicillin cured my breath temporarily - whereas its mostly for aerobic bactera (which are not the cause for the BB).

I find your post very interesting as my bb history/symptoms is almost exactly the same as yours [except I was 10 years old when I defiantly came to realize I had bad breath]. I have done a course of Flagyl before and didn't notice any improvements. Soo just wondering is there anything else you did in addition to taking it?
Yes - I took VERY strong probiotics (don't know the exact term anymore but it was kinda like many billions cfu or something) - so it was basically a colon/bowel cleanse/restoration.StillHoping wrote:congrats!! I truly hope this is a permanent cure for you!

It was somehow like, 5 days pure antibiotic, then 5 days antibiotic + probiotic and then like 1 month probiotic. The problem is - I guess - I probably got to much of the good probiotics, which has led to a very gassy stomach. Still I think this is way better than BB.
What I recommend is to start out with Magnesium peroxide + Probiotics (the 12 most common ones) as I did, and see if there are any improvements. MP is like a light antibiotic, so as I understood it will kill some anaerobic bacteria (or at least inhibit the growth). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_peroxide - Please research first a bit, before actually taking my word. I took it myself and it has caused me some stomach troubles - still I guess in combination with the probiotics it reduced my symptoms a little at first.

Both Metro and Probiotics together (in combination) cured me. The probiotics which I took had 50 Billion CFU's and contained Saccharomyces boulardi, S thermophilus, L fermentum, L acidophilus, L brevis, L bulgaricus, L casei, L helveticus, L paracasei, L pantarum, L rhamnosus, L salivarius, L lactis, Bacillus coagulans, B bifidum, B breve, B infantis, B lactis, B longum, Pediococcus acidilacti.somethinstinks wrote:just to clarify, are you saying the Metronidazole "cured" you or both the Metronidazole and probiotics?
Am I allowed to name the brand?
Thanks. I googled "oxypowder halitosis" and ended up back to these forums, found your thread on "nasal halitosis and PATM". I just don't understand the concept of this PATM (People Allergic To Me). I get reactions from people because of the nasal halitosis and that's it. It's not a separate thing, like you imply in your thread.meowkity1 wrote:if you are fecal room filling, you should try oxypowder. Ater I used it, for the first time in years I was actually breathing cool fresh air. It cleans out your bowels very well
Has oxypowder completely eliminated your BB? I remember I got my colon cleansed before colonoscopy and I think I still got reactions from the doctors.

This doesn't happen around me, it's only the annoying nose blocking/rubbing/heavy nose breathing reactions that I get from people.
It's like one of the most annoying sounds ever when someone breathes in and out like he's about to suffocate.
