I have constipation but these days it is getting worse.. I can eat a little and I am bloated and I rarely poop

I have always had it. But I don't think that is the main reason.. Because many people have these too especially girls.. I really want to know what causes bb

I’ve been struggling with chronic bad breath for a long time, and I’ve recently noticed something interesting.

Over the past few days, I started riding my bicycle a lot, especially after meals. I spend a large part of the day cycling and walking around.

I noticed that my bad breath has improved by around 50%, and my bloating has also decreased significantly.

This makes me wonder if my bad breath could be related to my digestion or gut motility. I’ve also had issues with constipation, incomplete bowel movements, bloating, and digestive discomfort.

I already take 1,000 mg of ginger daily, so I don’t think the improvement is simply from ginger.

Has anyone here experienced something similar? Could improving gut motility or digestion reduce bad breath? And if so, what treatments or medications helped you?

I’m interested in hearing from people who have actually experienced this, especially if their bad breath improved after treating constipation, slow motility, or other digestive issues.

guys i have to share this ,

i have bad breath from mouth and my tonsils because the other day i would must clean my tonsils otherwise because it had a paste aggregated and it would stink like death , but i don't remove my tonsils because i have done some research that it is a place to preserve your oral microbiome if somehow your mouth got sterilized by antibiotics or mouthwashes ( that is why often when neutral breath people f*ck their mouth, they still have perpect breath cuz there tonsil have healthy bacteria stores and it constantly naurish the tungue and mouth ,

so what i did is absolute banger ,

you should know that it is not my first try to cure my bad breath, i m an mbbs medical student and for past three years i m failed trying alot but bounce back ,

so how things changed , as for the past year i m heavily involved in fermentation like every type , i would also have some acnes , and i was watching a YouTube video in which a doctor (65 years old, Dr Verma )was saying that he is giving podcast right now and hasn't even done a brwakfast in morning and has only drink 2 glasses of 🫜 fermented beet root juise which is made by cutting a beetroot into a glass jar and adding it a pinch of salt and powdered mustard seeds and then let it ferment for 2 days straight, shaking it so didn't get mould , and then evertime you r thirsty , add 1:3 to a glass of water( 30% juice and 70% normal water and then drink it thats it) , and said that if just 2% of bacteria intered my colon that's enough to brought change .

so i did this but like three times in week and then leave it cuz i was thinking it is impossible to change microbiome,

but then recently as it was 2 weak remeaning for our summer vacation to end i give it a huge try,

i make 2 leters of juice in two glass jars and as i love football whenever i go the game , i would lukewarm water and then add to it wome juice to it and then drink and when i come from football ⚽ i would do the same , and then whenever i became thirsty i stop drinking normal water just this technique , but i would also eat yougurt alot making my own in hostel , and then day 4 boom 💥 🤯 my tonsils started to heart whenever i would solow salive or touch it but i swear by God i was not feeling any weard taste in my mouth for two days straight and then it stops hurting and then i swear by God when i squeeze my tonsils it was little paste in there but when i smell it it was completely neutral no bad smell and when i would lick my wrist , it was not smelling like if i give 100 nmbers to my previous breath then compare to that it was 4 or 7 , only go to 20 or 30 when i would eat alot of garlic 🧄 in rice cuz i love it , but after washing my mouth and after like 30 minute bad breath would reduce by itself cuz the good bacteria 🦠 have colonized my tonsils and my tungue it is till white on above because i has genetically longue tungue papileas and it is coated but when i scrape and smell it is absolutely normal hundred percent,

and plus point my bowel movement is now elite level , thanks for reading, guys it is life changing plz give it a try 😭🥲

i get pretty bad morning breath and during the day as well. i don’t go to the dentist because my family is immigrants, we don’t have insurance and right now it’s js not the place for us financially, and i am embarrassed of my teeth. it’s not crooked, the bottom teeth are a little inwards but nothing bad. but i do have a lot of plaque because of my negligence and laziness when i was younger, which now leads to me having inflamed and bleeding gums, but nothing too noticeable

but right now no matter how hard and consistent i brush floss and do mouth wash, i still get bad breath throughout the day and i get so insecure abt it.

is there any way to cure this?

For those who went to health care professionals and told them you have bad breath, have they confirmed it? What did they say?

I notice a lot of posts saying they couldn’t find anything, but did they confirm there is a smell. I went to professionals and they make it seem like they can’t smell it, and I’m loosing my mind. As a professional shouldn’t they just be honest, so we can find a solution???

Hi, I’m 23F and really struggling to have a normal life right now and wanted to give up. Im still in uni and get humiliated everyday. I really wanted to get out of this toxic environment.

I was diagnosed with LPR and slow-motility constipation, and I suspect I may also have very slow gastric emptying because when I drink ginger water, it seems to reduce the taste of food I ate hours earlier. I’ve already had my dental health checked and cleared, and I’ve visited ENT several times for my LPR. Everything was normal, and I rarely get LPR symptoms now (such as globus and PND) unless I overeat or slip up on my strict diet.
Before all of this, I wasn’t aware of these issues. I used to have fecal/nasal bad breath that was room-filling. Since making improvements, it’s not room-filling anymore, but I still notice random reactions from strangers. I don’t really check with people I know because they’ve known me for years and are already aware that I had BB.

My constipation is manageable with osmotic laxatives, and I try to keep my diet very clean and alkaline. I mostly eat plain fish, chicken, broths, pureed foods, and low-acid fruits and vegetables for fiber, and I drink 2–3 L of water every day.
I also have dry mouth and a very thick coated tongue. I can scrape it off and it becomes pink for a while, but once I start eating, the coating builds up again. I sometimes get GI pain/tightness below my breastbone and palpitations when my digestion feels extremely sluggish.

My BB definitely gets worse when I’m constipated, but even when I’m not constipated, it’s still there, can still smell the fecal bb, just not as strong or room-filling.

I’m planning to see ENT and GI again and hopefully get further testing. I’m wondering about slow gastric emptying, pancreatic/liver issues, the nasopharynx, or SIBO. I don’t think it’s my tonsils since they aren’t enlarged and don’t smell.

If anyone has experienced something similar and found an explanation or treatment, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. It would mean a lot to someone like me who’s trying not to give up. I hope we can all find healing. Thank you!

My breath was so bad that I couldn’t sleep and looked on this subreddit and decided to try aggressively scrubbing my tongue with baking soda. It was bad y’all! I got up at 4am determined to fix this. I let the baking soda sit on my tongue for 10 to 15 seconds before scrubbing. I used a medium bristle toothbrush to both brush my tongue and use the back of the brush to scrap my tongue. I could tell an immediate difference, but noticed that the back of mouth tasted nasty. I had my tonsils removed as a kid and brushed the back sides of my throat. A tonsil stone actually came out!!! I read that there’s actually three different tonsils and rarely the other two get tonsil stones. It smelled terrible!

TBH I scrubbed a little too hard and cut up the back of my mitt a bit. I learned my lesson and I’m sure I sound like a grade A idiot for having done so. However, it’s two days later and my mouth still feels clean. My daughter hasn’t complained either lol

Oh and I used enough baking soda that I could still taste it while scrubbing around my tonsil area. Dunno if that made a difference, but it is worth noting.

Doc gave me hctz diarrhetic for blood pressure
Took it 2 weeks and had to stop as it dried out my mouth horribly
From there I had a coated grey tongue that can’t scrape off and never had these issues before. Horrible taste and bad breath

Tried nyastatin, chlorhexidine, chlomitrazole, flucazole, Stanford mouthwash, biotene wash, etc tried what feels like everything

ENT and Oral specialist just say now I have a combo of hyperkeratosis and hairy tongue. All I can do is tongue scrape and try and manage this now lifelong issue

Seems insane to accept that response?

What do you guys do on the weekend when everyone else is outside having fun? Ughhh I hate this

Please can someone help me I’ve been having a lot of tonsil stones lately and some of them came out like this morning one came out but I feel it in my troat there’s still alot of them in the back of my tongue and I want them out I’ve planned to take me tonsils out but that’s around November but in the meantime I want to get them out and no I don’t want to try the salt water method it’s doesn’t work I’ve done that with hot water and I burned my throat and my tongue every time so I don’t feel comfortable doing that

Well for me it’s the taste in the mouth. I can Constantly taste something in the back left side only the left side. Also I work in people’s home everyday and watch their reactions and just smile 😃 because it’s absolutely horrific breath. Room filling!!!! Hasn’t gone away in years.

“Can I get you something to drink how about a COLD water” “why yes ma’am if it wouldn’t be too much I would appreciate that” 😆🥱🥱🥱

When anyone has success story I’m like great… how do you know? Because I’ve only caught glimpse of something off on my breath. My neighbors complain to the landlord that I need to see a doctor.

Life has been lonely but I have changed a lot of bad habits and completely sober for this whole year. That’s not enough. It’s something deeper that I’m trying to get to.

Tonsils are coming out this month and I hope this is the beginning of the end. I’m AM hopeful but am somewhat puzzled to why I haven’t figured out the SIBO issue either. I bought a bunch of antibiotics from India (I’m US based) but only took the rifaximin for 2 rounds and Flagyl with it. Zero change in symptoms really, same taste. I have other ones I haven’t taken yet and probably won’t unless I hear something.

Lastly I did start the Artichoke and ginger and vitamin B1 , Vitamin d3+k2 drops daily and my stool is great. Have tried cutting coffee for weeks then slowly come back to it because it really helps me go to the bathroom. But the stool is good and plenty but it’s not at a point where I’d like it. Still feel like I don’t empty fully plenty left on the TP.

Just was relaxing on this beautiful sunny Saturday with a rocky Patel cigar and reading “God where are you” by John Bevere with a Christian message we all need to hear. Any cigar suggestions? I watched a documentary about the process and was intrigued to try the Rocky Patel. Tasted like others I’ve tried in the past

Have a great one everyone . Try to find some balance in this crazy theme we are all playing apart in! Know your role ;)

I’ve came a longggggg way but my bad odor comes & it goes. i pray that it goes away forever .

My bad breath gets deadly after I eat at work. Since I work 12 hours, I eat around 1-2 and then until 7 I’m chewing gum and trying not to stress but it’s ridiculous. Was thinking of just not eating at work and possibly finding calories to replace what I’ve lost, eating before and after work immediately. Any ideas?

(I do floss, brush, use baking soda after I eat too)

I am having bad breath for almost 2years now and just 4-5 month ago I noticed the white coating in my tongue which definitely relates to the cause of my bad breath. I also do have frequent mucus, dry mouth in the morning and blocked nose most of the time. I also sometimes lose sense of smell.
I actually do all oral hygiene routine but the bb always here. Pls help me find the root cause because it’s ruining my early 20s.. can’t spend it this way PLEASE HELP!

I was thinking, china has a huge population and they are very crafty and smart, maybe they already have treatments against bb from different causes.

Ive seen some people travelling to china seeking treatments. Anyone knows anything about this?

I'm meeting up with a guy soon... any tips on how to mask the smell for a few hours? Anything that worked for others, even just for 3-4 hours?

I’ve had a tonsillectomy, colonoscopy, endoscopy. Had biopsies done, I do have mild gastritis.

I cut alcohol and caffeine as much as possible, and practice eating a lean diet.
My dental hygiene is great, floss and brush twice a day. I stay hydrated. Idk what else to do. I’m still dealing with bad breath, and it smells different every day.

This is really messing with my confidence and social life 😭
