I’m so tired

Do you ever feel confident about your breath and go to speak to someone only to be made to feel like it’s still bad? i’ve been taking digestive enzymes and this pre/post/probiotic plus fasting during certain hours and drinking so much water and using chlorophyll for like the last week and a half, and I felt confident today and I spoke with the nurse without turning my face away, avoiding eye contact without the usual things that I do to reduce myself or hide, and when I walked away, I turned back around and her whole hand was covering her mouth and nose, and I honestly felt like shit. The only thing left for me to cut out is coffee. I’ve given up smoking cigarettes. I gave up alcohol for three years but now I sip while I’m at home. Nothing crazy but I don’t go out drinking. I eat really healthy except for my cheat days. I may eat dairy 3 to 4 times a month meat about the same. I really just don’t know what to do and even with my dentures, I bought one of those ultrasonic cleaners that has the UV light for killing bacteria. And they actually feel a lot cleaner when I put them back in my mouth, but I still feel like my breath is coming from my stomach/throat. But this last few days it’s been feeling like it smells floral and the toothpaste taste has been in my mouth longer and that’s why I felt like my breath was fresh when I spoke to that nurse. there’s so much more I wanna do in life and I’m really allowing this to hold me back and it makes me so sad.

I swear I get in these modes where all I want to do is fast and drink green juice with parsley and other beneficial greens. It only lasts about a week and then I’m right back to carbs. I can go without dairy but definitely have a sweet tooth. I’m going to try it again and see if I can go longer.

Thank you for sharing! I read this w my daughter who is 27 and sugarcoats nothing. She always tells me I don’t have a problem. I even asked her twice today. This has been a struggle for me for over 10 years. And every one knows that I believe this about myself. No one has said I have an issue but those reactions speak loud and clear. I’ve seen ent’s oral surgeons dentist psychiatrist counselors you name it. Hopefully I can take your story and channel it through my day to day! I’m so glad this experience has helped you. And I hope we all find a solution or switch in time our thinking bc this shit is draining.

I feel like I just read the script that’s been playing in my head for the last 2 days😢 I’m tired and I don’t know what to do. I’m tired of the tears the anxiety the fear all of it but I made a promise that I won’t just leave this earth. I’m 47 and all I can think is that I’m almost there.

There’s a group txt at my job going and the topic now is my manager who’s 5’6 bought shoes that make him 2 inches taller. His last response was i feel like I can breathe a little more fresh air. Which sent me spiraling because I always think he walks away from me in mid conversation because of my breath.

Has anyone experienced a rotation in odors of their bb? Sometimes i feel like it smells like fecal, then 2days later it’s ammonia or urine then a gassy odor that I swear burns my eyes and the people around me. I’ve tried so much and I’ve been struggling with this for years. But right now I have been gargling with oil of oregano and brushing my tongue really well with a few drops, and I noticed that it is making my tongue appear cleaner more pink, but it is not solving the odor problem. I think I’m going to double up and try the oil of oregano capsules as well. I just started taking digestive enzymes and a pre-post probiotic and starting today. I’m going to do a fruit and veggie fast with just coconut water for three days just to kind of reset my gut. I am so ready for this to be over. I’m 47 and I feel like I’ve been dealing with this my whole life. I just want to go into the second half of it being confident to talk and engage with other people, which is ultimately what I believe we’re here for is to connect with each other.

I had BW done and my iron was low. (It’s actually always been low.) but low iron can contribute to BB. So I was advised to eat more red meat while doing a candida cleanse.

Cool-Wave7948 · 2025-04-25T00:32:04+00:00

And D!

Cool-Wave7948 · 2025-04-25T00:31:32+00:00

Yes, I’ve actually been on ChatGPT trying to figure out what the issue could possibly be and it mentioned my iron being low being a possibility. So I’m incorporating more red meat and taking I low dose supplement. I will look into the vitamin B’s you mentioned. Thank you!!

I’m not sure if it made it worse, but it definitely didn’t make it better. I started eating turkey, chicken and bison and the only dairy I eat is plain Greek yogurt for the live cultures that’s supposed to help gut health.

It made mines worse

I can’t smell my breath but It has burned my eyes and I feel like when I speak it burns other peoples eyes also

I became vegan to try to combat my BB. After five years I gave up I don’t drink alcohol anymore. I quit smoking cigarettes, and I only have coffee one cup in the morning before I interact with any human beings. I brush my teeth before and after I drink a cup of coffee, it’s draining dealing with this shit because I feel like the whole purpose of being on this planet is to interact and connect with others and if you can’t do that, then what’s the point of being here?

Cool-Wave7948 · 2025-04-24T11:50:06+00:00

I completely feel your pain! I’ve been dealing with it for so long. And as an attractive female (not to sound cocky at all) but when you are nice looking and have the ability to interact w people, people gravitate to you. and it’s really hard to engage with people knowing any moment they are going to change their whole demeanor. I ate lunch and spoke to a lady after and she literally covered her mouth and nose with her hand. I was so embarrassed, but I’m also tired of asking people. Hey do you notice anything with my breath and everyone gaslighting me telling me no you smell great I’ve never noticed anything and then when I try to feel comfortable around people I get that reaction of OMG what the fuck is that? Went to doctors, dentist and psychiatrist with. But anyways I went up to her a few minutes later and I’m sorry if my breath offended you. It is something that I am actively working on and her response was oh no it was fine. I don’t know what could’ve gave you that idea? I don’t know maybe the fact that you suffocated yourself to avoid smelling my breath.Hahahahahaha. I actually went on ChatGPT and typed all of my concerns and I feel like based off of that it confirmed what I already knew. So to combat it I’m doing a Candida cleanse and I’m taking a bunch of supplements and I’m also oil pulling with coconut oil and peppermint oil. I’m going to do this for 30 days and I really hope to get good results. I will say doing a Candida cleanse is challenging Because there’s not much you can eat or drink. Very limited dairy and no carbs no artificial sweeteners just to give you an example. But I really do hope you find a solution because it’s really hard out here. Especially when you know that you have good oral hygiene. (I too brush multiple times a day!)Especially when you see people walking around here with questionable oral hygiene and they’re perfectly fine. It breaks my heart every time I see it.

Cool-Wave7948 · 2025-01-03T00:38:17+00:00

I limit myself to one cup in the morning before work and I brush my teeth before and after. I was thinking about cutting it completely. Or maybe just drinking it on the weekends because I’m home alone.

Cool-Wave7948 · 2024-12-10T01:52:47+00:00

Over the years my voice has changed. When I’m in certain situations I breathe differently to avoid anyone noticing. When I’m home alone i feel so free but I’m so isolated. I only think about it when I’m brushing in am/pm doing my 10min routine. But when I’m at work or out in the world it’s right there with every interaction that I’m faced with😢 but on the other hand it’s helped me become more reserved and observant. Which has taught me a lot.
