To think some people have breath that smells like dog shit?

this thread is too funny to even make a comment. Hilarious!!!

Sorry, op, it was that comment. I'm probably just a bit oversensitive.

Why does constipation cause bad breath?
In ds's case it was because the bowel became obstructed, so poo got backed up this would cause him to vomit, in his case this would combine with old blood. It can also cause bad breath because of the smell of undigested food in the gut.

Maybe it's because our own experience of one reason for very bad breath was really awful, but I don't see the hilarity in this thread.

That doesn't work MsLayla, suck your thumb for a bit, let it dry for a minute then smell it.

Heard somewhere that untreated Diabetes can cause terrible breath.

And yes, I have just breathed into my hand to double check I don't have dog shit breath.

Why does constipation cause bad breath?

My ex's lack of dental hygeine affected my health and my job. I'd lie awake at night with his stinking breath filling the whole room and was too tired to work properly the next day.
When we went on holiday the entire car was full of the stink.
It was utterly exhausting, we'd have row after row about it and when he did bother to floss and clean his breath didn't stink at all - which wasn't often.
It must have been awful for his colleagues sitting in a room with that all day, it would have made me angry.
I floss, waterpik, use an interdental brush and an electric toothbrush because if your breath doesn't need to stink why would you inflict that on other people.
Serves him right he hasn't found another girlfriend.

I think autocorrect is being a prick: it is Spirochetes: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spirochaete

The funniest was a colleague expressing surprise at the supervisors terrible breathe, saying, “..and he’s got a partner as well!”. It made me laugh. This guy had that white elastic spit in the corners of his mouth as well, the full works.

Ds, who is 8, had breath that smelt like poo and mothballs. He had bleeding stomach ulcers and unexplained lesions in his stomach and oesophagus and very bad constipation, which the Dr said caused the awful smell. It was very difficult.

I taught a kid with sick breath, years ago. He wasn't bulimic, or ill. I always wondered why. Nice lad, but I had to hold my breath if I went to check his work in class!

Burning keytones

Constipation

And parakeets in their teeth (poor brushing and oral cate) parakeets are bacteria that apparently give off bad odour

Or wrotten teeth

It can be caused by tooth decay. A friend of mine had it when she had huge problems with an infected tooth. It was awful.

DH did have dog poo breath after eating smoked cheese once. I had him checking his shoes, carpets everywhere. 🤮

I had stinky tonsil stones for 20 years. Got so frustrated, saved the evidence in a container and took it along for my dr to sniff, and she immediately referred me for tonsillectomy (NHS). The op was so worth it!

Also when one of my wisdom teeth was pushing through, I got pericoronitis (gum infection), and that was truly foul smelling.

I’m a delight.

Air flossers / water piks are the least effective method to clean between teeth but a lot of dentists do recommend them for implants because they are gentle. Personally I would stick to brushes.
I don’t think this thread is mean. It’s not as if we calling people names. It’s a discussion About bad breathe as far as I have seen so far.
And thanks for picking up my spelling mistake up thread . Not sure what’s worse, bad breath or bad spelling.

Medical problems, poor dental hygiene, decay. There are many Reasons.

When I ate meat if I didn't floss for a few days when I did the smell that was on the actual floss smelt of pure dog shit. Especially from my upper back teeth. Since going veggie I haven't noticed it.

However I know if I eat a lot of garlic/curry I still have a funky breath the following day.

I work with the general public and bad breath is still really common. In fact I'd say most people have bad breath rather than don't have it. It seems to be the one thing modern science still hasn't conquered in personal hygiene.

Omg this is literally my worst nightmare. I’m so worried this is me!

They need to floss I think it's like old blood in their gums I'm not sure but it's foul old blood? It's trapped food.

Smelling fresh breath from others is not a right, this thread is mean.

What does Ketone breath smell like?
I was always having ketosis when I was very sick from hyperemesis but I've never had bad breath like I'm really funny about it
so what do ketones smell like people say they can smell them but one dr said to me he can smell ketones and I didn't have them and I was ketone +4 so he was wrong
