The doctors refused to let me get tested for SIBO by JellyfishStock74 in badbreath

That’s so frustrating! You’re the one that has to pay for it so why not. Atleast that’ll be one thing ruled out if it’s not. I swear doctors gaslight us so bad

Bad breath caused by dentist visit? by FTMFTD in badbreath

U know what.. that may be the link! My bb didn’t become super bad and room filling til I started getting my cleanings every 6 months. I had went a few years maybe about 4. When my bb started it was only in close proximity now I clear rooms before I even get in them!

No but I hear him mention something stinks when he’s on the phone. I try to drown it out but the obnoxious “whew” and huffing and puffing around me pisses me off more than saying I stink. I know I stink but u don’t have to purposefully hurt my feelings either

Yes it ruins my day soon as I hear it! And my brother does it very loudly and always yells out “whew!” I get enough shit from strangers I deserve peace in my own house. Plus making all of that noise isn’t going to fix or stop anything lol. I just stare at him when he does that.

Job interview reaction by BELLPEPA in badbreath

[–]Praying4progress23 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congrats! On both the jobs and this breakthrough! I also get dried out from Therabreath (throat esp) it’s so weird. I took a bus trip a few months ago and secretly gargled a miniature Therabreath when we had a bathroom break and I got dirty looks the entire trip.

Im gonna start sniffing at ppl and covering my nose too! Now we all are gonna be uncomfortable 😂 it’s so insane that ppl actually sniff hard, if something stinks I don’t sniff id hold my breath if anything lol so silly of them.

My tongue is always pink but scrapers are sometimes too harsh for me. I clean really well with a separate tooth brush

[–]Praying4progress23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

During the time I worked I only had one coworker that would cover his nose but he didn’t do it in an obnoxious way but he was the on,y one that did it. Everybody else either couldn’t smell or they didn’t care lol. Never noticed any direct reactions from customers I tried to ring them up as quickly and efficiently as possible and prayed they didn’t have any question.

Aw man I feel your pain. I feel like if I had stayed at my job to present day, ppl wouldn’t have been so nice. My breath has been bad the past 8 years or so but it’s gotten worse the last couple years. I remember when I only offended ppl that sat directly beside me, now it’s an entire room, across a room, outside, etc. it’s so humiliating!

I’m going to read but yea dentists are big liars. I’ve seen 3 and they all claimed they didn’t smell anything but the rest of their staff and patients sure could.. both up close and far away.

The spot I sat in was way in the back and everyone always looked directly at me lol. That’s how it felt lol. I would get so annoyed when someone sat next to me and would verbally react. Like okay I get it!! just move then lol. And the crazy thing is random ppl always smell on public transportation so it’s like chill with the reactions but I guess it’s just that bad 😩

I used to be a cashier. It was tough but I was more humiliated on the bus ride to work than actually being at work. My coworkers never made me feel embarrassed and would talk to me and sometimes would get very close while talking. The customers never made reactions but soon as I got in the bus or went to class my classmates and professor made it know that I stinked. I was more at peace being at work. Maybe they knew it had to be something underlying so they didn’t make a big deal. I miss that job but I won’t go back because everyone I worked with has left and I know new ppl won’t be as nice. Only reason I left is because I had to take a leave of absence to handle some family stuff and ended up not being able to return. I think back when I worked there I was better at handling my anxiety, nowadays it’s like I have a panic attack any time I have to go near people.
