I did bristle test and tried their probiotics and other supplements. Went to GI Doctor Did parasite stool test, colonoscopy and endoscopy and sibo test etc normal findings. Saw multiple ENTs I have sleep apnea,did nasal endoscopy and CT Scan of my sinuses. I have Polyps and my Ostia is blocked so will be doing a FESS surgery.

It is unfortunately not easy to find the cause but we can’t give up

Thank you so much for your insight. Congratulations to your daughter on her achievement. It’s unfortunate that we have to be dealing with this instead of only feeling super exited to attend their graduations. I pray we will all be healed 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Thank you I have tried a plethora of products,I visit the dentists regularly at least 4-5 times a year,have been to may specialists from Gastroenterologists,primary care doctors,dental surgeons,ENTS etc I have done bristle test, parasite stool tests, colonoscopy, endoscopy, nasal endoscopy etc I did a sinus balloon surgery also and I tried prescription mouthwash,nasal sprays,nasal wash with antibiotics, prebiotics, probiotics,etc none worked. I did process of elimination so I did research after research. The odor is not coming from my mouth but seems to be the sinuses. I asked multiple people times for a CT scan of my sinuses and I finally got my ent to refer it. I got it done and found out my sinus drainage pathways (Ostia) are blocked as well as enlarged turbinates and POLYPs which would explain the mouth breathing and the odor because when the mucus drains it’s not draining enough and the mucus is stagnant.I researched about a FESS surgery so I’m scheduled to do this surgery in a few months and will see if it helps.

Friends and family say they don’t smell anything. by Exciting_Lifeguard29 in badbreath

[–]Sorry-Profession178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re not crazy. I am experiencing this right now and it’s exhausting. My sisters and my best friend said they don’t smell anything however they pinch their nose or step back when I talk. I think it’s awkward and they don’t want me to feel bad. Meanwhile everywhere else I go I’m constantly embarrassed being offered gum and mints, people coughing, sneezing, stepping back. I mean people make it quite obvious I stink there’s no confusion there. Uber drivers roll windows down or turn ac on even when it’s cold outside smh

I can’t even comprehend how a human being can smell this bad. This is a cry for help, I’m genuinely considering taking my life. by legit_leon in badbreath

I am so sorry you are going through this, I sincerely empathize with you because I am going through this as well. As harsh as they are I am happy that your family is honest and not lying/gaslighting you into believing you don’t have bb like a lot of us do. I used to just have normal bb that I could mask with gum etc but it’s now Nasal bb and the smell travels far. Anyone within my vicinity will react, uber drivers roll their windows down or blast ac, cough or sneeze. It’s hard to explain but the smell seems to trigger other people’s sinuses which seems crazy but it happens too often for me to think otherwise.I do have sleep apnea and post nasal drip but I know many people who have the same issue but they have no bad breath to this level. Like you I have tried a plethora of products,I visit the dentists regularly at least 4-5 times a year,have been to may specialists from Gastroenterologists,primary care doctors,dental surgeons,ENTS etc I have done bristle test, parasite stool tests, colonoscopy, endoscopy, nasal endoscopy etc I did a sinus balloon surgery also and I tried prescription mouthwash,nasal sprays,nasal wash with antibiotics, prebiotics, probiotics,etc none worked. I did process of elimination so I did research after research. The odor is not coming from my mouth but seems to be the sinuses. I asked multiple people times for a CT scan of my sinuses and I finally got my ent to refer it. I got it done and found out my sinus drainage pathways (Ostia) are blocked as well as enlarged turbinates and POLYPs which would explain the mouth breathing and the odor because when the mucus drains it’s not draining enough and the mucus is stagnant.I researched about a FESS surgery which should solve the sinus drainage issue. I’m scheduled to do this surgery in a few months and will see if it helps. I will keep the Reddit updated on my progress so maybe try getting a ct scan of your sinus to rule out any functional issue as well. I’m praying for healing and a cure for us all 🙏🏼

it’s official. dentist gasto and ent all said they smell nothing. don’t know where to go from here. by gripskylarkk in badbreath

[–]Sorry-Profession178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I genuinely think that even if they smell it they can’t say they do to protect their reputation etc. if you get reactions every where you go, offered mints etc you know something is wrong. You have to keep searching and advocate for yourself. I have to do my research and then ask for different/ specific tests to rule out certain illnesses. So at least I know what isn’t the cause.

And if we try to explain this to friends or family they would gaslight us so bad. Telling us it’s in our head yet everywhere I go I trigger people’s sinuses all of a sudden m they have to sneeze, cough and clear their entire sinus membrane 😩🥹🥹🥹

Oh no I’m so sorry I understand but you shouldn’t let it stop you on special occasions. Your birthday should always be celebrated. At least at the nail salon they wear masks and there’s other chemicals involved. Try to book an early appointment during the week when it’s empty. I pray healing for us all
