Hi All, Just an update.... Iv not been on here for a while...
Sun123, iv not considered lingual tonsil surgery. I had my tonsils removed 7 or 8 years ago hoping to cure me.. It didn't. I know now, what my problem is. My halitosis is not dental/oral related - Iv been diagnosed with TMAU2 (secondary TMAU). Not only my diagnosis but, all my little tests have confirmed this for me.
Update on this year::
Iv pretty much still got halitosis because iv not done very well at keeping to a low choline diet. Iv kept out the major danger foods (fish, eggs, spinach, cabbage, nuts etc etc, but not really been keeping much of a check on my choline intake... Still enjoying my pizzas, curries, beer and stuff hehe) Although iv still got halitosis, its not nearly as bad as it was, now iv cut out the major danger foods!
Also at the grand age of 33 i began smoking, this has appeared to make my breath smell worse, im quitting 100% January 1st though. I have to
One thing I have found out is::
Look After Your Liver!
Some tips that have helped me this year.....
I chop a lemon into very small pea-sized bits, pop onto my tongue and knock back with water. First thing each morning.
I do the same with a lime too last thing at night.
Dont smoke.
Cut back on alcohol (especially beer)
Eat blueberries daily.
Drink plenty of water.
Vitamin complex B pill in the morning,,, Riboflavin pill at night
Sweat daily, do whatever to make yourself sweat.
.....on top of this just keep to a low a choline diet as much as possible. Its very difficult but can be done. Allow a few treats here and there.... If i do eat any 'bad foods',, knock back some charcoal capsules 5 minutes after eating.
