Yeah I like to call it brushing your teeth and flossing, sometimes mouthwash helps too. As well if that does not work get a breath mint!!!

Apparently, you haven't read a single post in this thread.... :confused:

There is no one universal 'cause' of halitosis, like a 'halitosis tumor' in your chest or something that can be cut out. Go see your dentist for crying out loud.

You should post a thread on your DENTIST'S forum. Call him, he's there to help u with that stuff.

If none of our advice helps, just change your diet.

Eat a lot of cabbage and eggs. And drink a lot of milk. Pretty soon you'll be farting all the time and no one will notice your bad breath.

PLEASE EVYONE … READ THIS MESSAGE J
Hi ! I am suffering with a terrible back in my throat sour taste. I have it since I was 10 years old . Iam 35 now and because of that I have bad breath .
So I have to brush my teeth 3 time a day or more if I have to go somewhere .
Every time I put something in my mouth I will taste sour again.
So I am always positive and always was searching for answers. So Please listen to this……
I didn’t know that I have Acid Reflux … I don’t have any of the symptoms just the sour taste in the back of my throat and post nasal drip. So the first time I when to the ENT doctor She was positive my problems were due to Acid Reflux. She was so sure that game me the feeling that … She was right!!!
So Im against medications for that because Acid Reflux is not caused for too much acid . It is the opposite!. So I decided to buy The Pivot Protocol that gives you more understand about this issue.
The program is expensive around $200 but in my case give me the solution without medications that I was looking for…
  • I will give you some tips for you to follow if u want .. This is some of the tips in the Pivot Protocol…
  • Eat white rice (Not Brown) Brown rice is too hard on the stomach and this one needs to heal .
  • Drink lots of soups (Miso, Fish , Turkey are great options)
  • If you eat meat eat turkey or fish ( do not eat meat at nite ) You can have other meats but for the first 2 months let first ur stomach to heal. If u take meat (anykind ) buy a good Digestive Enzimes
  • Avoid the use of Antibiotics ( Of curse only if u really need them )
  • Don’t expend money buying expensive probiotics ( Use natural ones) pickles, Miso, Kombucha etc
  • Try not to use too much supplements ( Ur body suffers to digest them ) just eat right !
  • Eat an apple after your lunch (help digestion)
  • Do not drink Cold Drink (very important )
  • Drink Green Tea ( Cleans ur body)
  • Cut on the sweets
  • Cut on the fried food
  • Eat easy digest food . Do not over eat and mix too many things together at once.
  • Listen how r u feeling after eating.. ur body will tell u when is not feeling good.
  • Exercise
Now I will give you some of my diet. I really suggest to try this diet for at least 1 month to see if ur improve or get rid of your bad breath ….. ( You don’t have nothing to lose and lot to win!!! )
So … Something inside me was telling me that I should start a diet to heal my stomach for at least 3 months and after this I will little by little adding more stuff.. So I decide to go Gluten Free and Dairy Free diet. Lots of soups (luch and dinner) , Gluten Free white rice . I m just having Gluten free food (As much as u can) .
Its amazing how much gluten free food I can find in the supermarket. I love cheese too and I found cream cheese, provolone cheese and other Diary free food. An taste delicious!!!
So my diet….
  • Brakfast: Cashew milk ( I prefer not to eat much sweet) (warm or room temperature) , G. Free bread ( I put it in the freezer the I microwave for 10 sec and then I toast it )with olives , Dairy free cream cheese, butter etc. or gluten free cereal . I found delicious G.F. Granola and Oatmeal
  • Luch: I love pasta (G.F) with anything , not red sauce but u can add veggies, olive oil.
Rice also with Sautee veggies, or chicken in the oven (just remember to have ur enzymes after )
  • Sopus ( Miso , turkey soup, chicken soup ) Mushroom soup . Instead of regular milk use almond milk.
Dinner: I just have soups (No meat) and I love to add rice noodles in the soup. Or rice.

So iam in my week #3 of my diet and I am 80% better !!! No meds .
The best thing …. The food is delicious!!! I think more and more people are G.F. and diary free that the companies are having better products now and they r improving!
My son was suffering from bad allergies . Always congested . He had Adnoids removed. But He was the same. I decide to change his diet little by little to diary free and just in 4 days … There is a Big difference =). And it is not easy he is already 10 years old and his is half italian . Love pastas and cheese, pizza and burgers . But …. I m not giving up!!!!!
This is all I want to say … Please Please Please … Do this diet for at least 1 month . I am so sure you will see a HUGE change .
Forgot to tell you do meditations for 20 min. This helps a lot to calm ur stress . Its so good!
You can finf Miso paste in Asian markets . As well as the rice noodles and other healthy stuff.
Please le me know ur experience !! I will open my forum to see them from time to time.
Glod bless u all =)

Depends on the source of the issue. If you have GERD, it may be coming from your stomach. If it's from your mouth, you may have tartar buildup that needs to be removed. You may also have gum pockets with bacteria. A waterpik is a great way to blast those away and keep tartar under control.

My teeth are tightly spaced, so regular brushing doesn't do the trick. Get this- it's life changing: https://www.amazon.com/Waterpik-Flosser-Electric-Countertop-Irrigator/dp/B00HFQQ0VU/ref=sr_1_1_sspa
