I wasnt sure where to post this, so I
chose digestive system ect, because im
guesing it might be a problem concerning
my ds.
Im 19, been smoking since I was 15, and
besides that, I thought I was in perfectly
good health untill about 2 - 2 1/2 , years
ago.
Over the past two years ive had a problem
with what I thought was, halatosis.
Appearently, after talking with a dentist,
after a few years of neglect, he cleaned
my mouth up and told me that the cause of
the odor wasnt becasue of my teeth, or
gums.
Ive had started to suspect its not
halitosis after the second year now and
the dentist telling me what he did,
because I took care of my teeth pretty
well, and no ammount of oral heigene
was/is helping.
So now that ive checked with my dentist,
and he says there isnt anything wrong with
my mouth/gums that might be causing this,
ive started to look into other causes for
my symptoms.
Basicly, symptoms include - horrid smell
excreted from my mouth/nose (when I
breath, any air coming out, is going to
smell really bad :p). I cant smell it too
much, but if I try I do, and everyone
around me is quite aware of it, judging by
their reactions and remarks.
(embarrassing to say the least)... On top
of that, I cant really smell much of
anything else to boot. (possible symptoms
of sinusitus, <<<if thats
possible ??) .
In the morning, and when I smoke, it gets
really bad... My mouth gets really dry
and I can taste it, and sort of smell it
throughout the day, and if I dont eat
something, itll make me feel sick...
In any inclosed area, car, room,
anywhere, it doesnt go unnoticed by
anyone, so its pretty bad, and its not
like im imagining it.
So mainly my question is... If its not
halitosis, and the problem isnt in my
mouth too much, even though it feels like
it is... What might be the causes of
these symptoms, whether it be in my
digestive system or elsewhere... Maybe if
you could, list some tests, scans, ect ,
that I could take, that might help
determine what it is exactly that I have.
Being a highly social person, I have
trouble nowadays just having a
conversation with someone, because its
always on my mind, and I know if it was me
on the receiving end, I would be offended.
If anyone has an opinion on this or some
ideas that might help me/anyone else with
these symptoms, please post a.S.A.P. ,
much thanks.

A bunch of people have posted that they
give off a smell like theyre farting, or
some other smell, when they dont even
fart... Maybe its not coming from your
butt at all :shock: just a thought...

Forgot to list these in my post, but this
seems to be the list of what chronic bad
breath/whatever it is, is caused by, if
its not halitosis persay.
There hasnt been a response from a doctor
or forum member yet, so like I said, if
you have any information, please post
a.S.A.P.

Have you tried those tabs that melt in
your mouth or gone to a ear nose and
throat dr, it could be that your tonsils
are bad or something else related, I am
not a Dr., just a wild guess.
Good luck!
