Intermittent fecal/sulfur breath odor

Has anyone heard of tonsil stones? That can cause fecal mouth odor.

Yes- I had them. I had my tonsils removed-it was the only way I could get rid of them. I’m glad I did it even though it was brutal surgery.

I am experiencing the exact same problems. For about 8 years now. I just went to the dentist a month ago. Nothing there is causing it. My dentist said there are three things that causes bad breath. Gums, nasal or stomach. The ent found nothing. Actually I have been to several ent doctors. Also several dentist. I’ve had several CT scans with contrast. They found nothing. I recently visits doctor who ordered blood test for amalayse. (I hope I spelled it correctly) It’s an enzyme that is made by both the pancreas and salivary glands. There is something about my saliva that I just can’t seem to figure out. It seems this is where the problem is. After finding out about the elevated enzyme she ordered an ultrasound of my abdomen. The results showed a dialated pancreatic duct in the distal portion. And a fatty liver. The doctor said it comes from eating too many carbs. My body does not seem to digest carbs and sugar. I am waiting on a CT scan . My insurance company denied it. So my PCP is sending me to a Gastroenterologist. Hopefully they will approve it. From what I have read on google. A dilated duct could be a tumor. Also high risk for cancer. When the duct is blocked the digestive enzymes are not released. I have always said my food is not digesting properly because can smell everything eat. My poop smells very bad. The smell is also coming through my nose. I know for sure it is in my nose and throat. My breath can fill up a room. It has a fecal/sour smell. I’m not sure if it is coming from my body. I have heard vitamin b2 may help. It is Riboflavin. I will keep everyone posted. I will have a phone conference on April 23 due to coronavirus. I hope to have the scan as soon as all this is over. My doctor just got my results from the sibo test. I hope to get those this week. Good luck.

My father had this problem and his GI Dr advised him to take a soil based probiotic at bedtime for 6 wks the switch to a full spectrum probiotics for two mos, and every 6 mos switch to a different brand. This eliminated the offending breath. I wish it was ok for me to mention brand names here but it isn’t. I would go to a good supplement shop and get them there.

Can I know what is your result? I want to know the exact cause of this issue 😭

Hey do you mind sending me the probiotics that he took please. This will be a huge help

I suffer the same issues and its awful!.. i dont know how i do it but its very embarrassing and as i read these comments couldnt help to laugh because it really fing sucks... i experience it every day after eating meats, dairy, certain veggies i havent had the discipline to figure out. I drink alot of water and trying to reduce sugar intake, now trying to avoid anything with corn. I read somewhere to avoid anything that can ferment. Also bacteria from the lower intestine has migrated to the stomach and esophagus causing early breakdown and sulfur breath or poop breath. Please let me know if you have looked into this and how your current treatments are going..

I don't know but I don't have much experience with tonsil stones. Ents have checked and they never saw any stones. Though one of them said I have very deep tonsil crypts.

I just think if I had stones I would have fairly persistent bad breath. But mine is more like farts of death. Literally, just super foul farts from my mouth. And it happens randomly throughout the day. Just like if you had a gassy fart problem.

I know some will think well at least you don't have bad breath all the time. But honestly with low level bad breath you can function as long as people aren't in your face. But with my fart bombs, it can clear out a room. Even in the outdoors, people have reacted or made comments along the lines of smelling gas or someone pooping.

It's destroyed my social life and stunted my career. I remember one time it happened once when I was talking to my ceo. She just smiled nervously and quickly ended the conversation. I never talked to her again on a one on one basis. I remember having dinner with her when I first started working at the company and my manager told me after the dinner that the ceo really liked me. Three years later, I left and that initial first good impression went nowhere. And it was because I was so self conscious about the fart breath that I just held back. I just hid.
