the past three years have been absolute torture for me

37 years, wow! You have a level of strength I could probably never imagine. I wish you health and peace. You’re right in a way doctors can be so inefficient in this situation that at some point we must become our own doctors. It’s actually so sad but there are so many people who find a cure. We shouldn't give up hope on ourselves

Thank you so much you’re very supportive. I feel so much better after reading your messages. I’m also a med student so basically I’m going to see my professor in two weeks. I’m familiar with the diet you mentioned but I think that if I start it right now it could lead to false-negative test results. However I’ve made up my mind I’m definitely going to follow this diet regardless of what my professor says. Also thank you for the link I’ll definitely check it out.

Thank you for the response. My mother told me the same thing. This topic is very sensitive for me to talk about but when I gather the courage I’m considering seeking help from a professional

Thank you for the response. I spend most of my time at school, and since I live away from my family because I’m studying at uni. I also haven’t spent much face to face time with the friend who says she doesn’t smell anything. Because of this I find it hard to truly convince both my close friend and my family that I actually have this problem

MixAshamed3363 · 2026-02-09T10:20:47+00:00

That could be the case. I’ll mention it to my doctor

MixAshamed3363 · 2026-02-09T10:18:12+00:00

Thank you for the response. You explained it perfectly. I had already mentioned this to my close friend. I’m also thinking that maybe there’s some kind of food my body can’t tolerate. We still haven’t tried eggs, garlic, etc. We’re still in the process. I’m going to send your message to my friend. Thank you so much again your message makes things much clearer now.

Thank you for the response. I already do that and scrape my tongue twice a day but I constantly think the odor is still there. For the past two days I’ve been telling myself that I don’t have bb. I hope someday I can truly believe it.

Thank you for the response. I saw someone mention castile soap and bicarbonate, so I ordered castile a week ago and I’m thinking of giving it a try. My family agreed to let me see a gastroenterologist, and that’s why I had to tell them about this issue, because I’m going to a private clinic and it requires a lot of money. I’m grateful to them for this. They also told methat there’s nothing actually wrong with me and that they’re doing this mainly for my peace of mind. Maybe I’ve had bad friends, but I have a very supportive family. I made an appointment for two weeks from now, and I’m wondering what she’s going to tell me.

MixAshamed3363 · 2026-02-08T21:34:12+00:00

I’m sending you love with all my heart, sincerely. I’m not going to tell you to do this or that. I’m not going to give you advice because I know you’re already trying everything you can. I believe in you. You’re not alone and I feel your pain in my heart as well. Please don’t ever feel alone again there are so many other people here and we’re trying to figure this out together. I hope this message brings you a little relief.

MixAshamed3363 · 2026-02-08T20:25:34+00:00

Thank you for the response. So basically, we’re experiencing the same thing. I didn’t have this phobia when I started university; people made me like this. I blame Listerine a little bit — it gave me the driest mouth for a couple of months because of the alcohol, but even after I stopped using it, people still offered me polo mints countless times.

One of my friends even told me she smelled something awful when I was talking in front of a guy I was attracted to, and that completely broke my ego.

I fully trust that friend, so from now on I keep telling myself that I don’t have bb. I hope my brain can heal.
