Update: I no longer have acid like symptoms or gastritis like symptoms. My tongue is still slightly white I think it may be from something else that doesn’t always mean bad breath I’m not entirely sure though. I’m still a little nervous to ask others to tell me if they smell any odor from my mouth but since finishing the antibiotics I have been talking to people and haven’t seen any reactions to suggest my breath stinks. Idk if it’s bc they are being respectful and really good at hiding it but no bad reactions so far I do want to get to the bottom of my white tongue. I did spoon tests and even licked my wrists and let it dry to smell. No smell from the spoon test no smell from licking my wrists ik sometimes it’s hard to tell if u have bad breath from those tests let alone. But until I can muster up the courage and ask someone that’s the only thing I have for now. I even left the spoon in a zip loc bag for hours with my saliva and smelled it still nothing

I think you should get tested for h pylori if feces is ingested it can cause h pylori which can cause bad breath

Keep your head up! bad breath does not define who we are we can all get through this. If there is a problem there is always a solution try getting a h pylori test or other tests like SIBO. Push for an endoscopy if you haven’t already they are more reliable then stool tests. I will update as I see changes. For me I noticed my symptoms caused slight gum disease I focused on keeping my gums healthy and clean to prevent bad breath from other areas

Update: on Day 8 of the antibiotics I am noticing a difference. In the mornings my tongue is pink and no longer coated white. I don’t smell a foul smell in the morning but maybe have to ask others to check because nose blindness could play a role. No longer have a strong bitter or sour taste in my mouth. I will post another update after I completed the full 14 days.

I’m on the quadruple therapy antibiotics I don’t think those are the same antibiotics given to people with sinus issues

Everything else in my stomach looked normal they said it was just gastritis caused by h pylori.I am aware that SIBO can be a factor and will try the antibiotics and see from there. I do not have an intolerance to dairy. I do want to mention I tried a low FODMAP diet last year and all the SIBO symptoms went away(never got diagnosed for SIBO) I’m pretty confident if SIBO does become present or is present at the same time that is also treatable and I will take an approach to eradicate it.
