Guys - please help (offer advice) i'm a girl, early 30's - well a woman then (ish!!!

kitkat23

Hey guys,
This all started about a year ago when a work colleague mentioned that she thought I may have tooth decay, she actually got me a homeopathic ointment which was nice. Anyway, I went to the dentist and nothing is wrong there. I do have occasional acid reflux - which has been bad in the past and caused bad breath so I went to the doctor and after months and months I finally got and ENT appointment and an Endoscopy - nothing to report as to what could be producing the bad stench - just some mild erosion in my stomach due to acid.
My tongue is constantly coated in either yellow or white stuff and I scrape a few times a day - some mucus at the back of my throat in the morning. On top of this - I do perspire/sweat - more than average say - this has never been a major issue for me at all and apart form some days at work when I would notice my feet smell - kinda embarrassing but nothing too offensive to anyone...
Well - at the moment my entire body temperature is hot, i perspire lots under my arms and feet and there is a stench from these areas too. My breath ranges between sweet smelling, to foul, to fish smell (so i hear...)
Basically, i'm into surfing, socialising, a few drinks, the odd smoke that kind of thing - after a really awkward weekend recently where these guys were basically rippin the piss about the fish smell... i know i can have it but most of the time i cant smell it directly. Also im in a new job and this asshole made a smart aleck remark the other day about having to keep all the windows open in my room to let the fresh air in - he's moving into my room shortly... c**t - im sure he's ok deep down but he said it for the benefit of some other guy to hear and obv's didn't give a single f**k how i felt - i'm the new girl, quiet, anti social (let's just say im extra sensitive about these odors)..
I try my best to get on with my life, not get down - I have excellent hygiene, shower daily brush teeth blah blah blah.
This is really debilitating tho and i'm unsure how my life will be going forward with this... have actually thought to leave my current job cus lets face it I could be somewhere with nicer people - however, jobs are hard to come by and maybe (well, no, definitely) this will follow me..

Hmm apart form that I don't know what the fk's going on!! I used to binge drink a but when younger - (well not that long ago too) and used to get sick - until bile was coming up - i think it may have something to do with this - but hey what more can I do medically than have an Endoscopy??

Btw my parents say they can't smell it and my best friend either... i find this hard to believe cus they are constantly sniffing and scratching their nose around me - but hey, i love them - even tho im constantly giving out to them at present cus of my emotional turmoil about this - hard to know...People are always sniffing, covering and scratching their nose around me all day long. Acually like some as much as 7-8 feet away..wtf man!!
Any help, guidance would be appreciated. I've used countless products etc - foot etc - just actually makes it worse I think hahaha ah man!! perfume, deodrant - the works
One thing I haven't mentioned, i'm recently back from travelling in NZ and I smoked a bit there etc - i don't know if that would be connected but hey

Lavinia

I've heard a natural yogurt daily can do miracles for bad breath

Other than that for a quick help wouldn't an extra strong peppermint chewing gum help?

Pat Mustard

Bad breath is often caused by not brushing/flossing teeth correctly or regularly enough. If you have a concern about that or about possible tooth decay, you need to see your dentist. Homeopathic remedies from work colleagues are no substitute.

As regards excessive sweating, you might want to see your GP. I understand that this is something which may be treatable.

Merkin

We can't actually give you any medical advice or openly speculate as to what specifically could be causing the problem but if I were you I'd go to your GP as a matter of urgency and ask for a referral. Any number of metabolic disorders, some rare genetic disorders, kidney or liver disease can cause foul smelling body odour so it's really important that you address this head on and get referred immediately once you've had a full blood count done. Make an appointment tomorrow.

kitkat23

Many thanks Lavinia, I take both daily, the chewing gum like every 20mns haha ;p im also taking probiotics etc. Just like you know hard sometimes to muster up the nerve to walk into work whenever i can't actually help it, and then the prospect of going on a date these days, well......hahahah fk you have to laugh like, cheers xxx

kitkat23

Cheers guys, had all the blood tests done etc not too sure, been to the docs and the dentist, like im actually thinking now from a personal perspective, i may need to go on a vegan diet and change my thoughts cus i'm getting the cold shoulder from the medical profession. Just would miss the few beers in the evening etc - would be difficult for me

Merkin

How much exactly are you drinking every evening?

kitkat23

also like, when someone is being an asshole and poking fun - like body odor can't be regulated sometimes - like in my instance - but it's a taboo subject in the course of daily life.
Sorry to moan guys xx

kitkat23

nah man - i have a few beers every couple of weeks now and that's it!! I can go 2 weeks without any and then go out on a sat night. Other weeks I may have the odd cider during the week..just if i feel i need to relax

I'd go to a different doctor then. If you have a medical condition all the mouthwash and vitamin rich diets won't make a jot of difference if you have a problem that requires treatment.

kitkat23

The dentist said there was no sign of rot anywhere in my mouth i specifically told him that someone said they could smell it

kitkat23

I've actually had a few blood tests done - 3 - yeah there's a chance perhaps they're not checking for something specific but all the bases are covered i imagine. I know they have done kidney and liver and full blood count etc. I guess the reason I have posted on Boards about this haha is because I have done these things already and waited the guts of 9 months to have them all done. I know it sounds silly I have kinda resigned myself to the fact that my body is doing this currently, for whatever reason - wondered if anyone had or is experiencing the same and how they cope. Part of me is accepting it at the moment just for what it is, hopefully it will go away at some point x

b_mac2

I'd bet my pearly whites that if you flossed properly every night and washed your tongue, your breath would be fine.

Okay, so you went to your dentist with a breath issue, he checked you out and said that there was no sign of rot in your mouth.

Did he say anything else? For instance, did he give an opinion as to the cause of the problem?

Or did he say that you were okay and give you a clean bill of health?

Sound Bite

You know there's a problem and it's making life difficult and awkward for you. I'm sure it would be great to get it sorted as the comments must be very hurtful.

If the dentist and the endoscopy have not identified anything, you should go back to the doctor and ask them to give you a referral to a specialist endocrinologist or dermatologist to investigate further.

kitkat23

He never mentioned anything else tbh, he just said there was nothing up - and i didn't require any fillings either etc. that was a couple of moths ago, so I will go back - and he is a really good dentist.

Wesser

What about [mod snip, that's a diagnosis Weser, please take care...]?

Senna

I'm not 100% on this but bad breath can be caused by something lodged in your nasal cavity. You might not be aware of it, I remember it happening to someone, but I just can't remember the details.

linpoo

I have heard before that sometimes bacteria can build in the crevices behind your tonsils which can cause bad breath. Like if you see white or yellow behind your tonsil.....you have to move your tonsil a bit to check but if there is something there you can pop it out.

Another thing I've seen on embarassing bodies was about the fishy smell. If you Google it you might find the episode. Good luck

kitkat23

Thanks guys, you know what I realise I do need to pursue this further now. I was just so relieved to finally have those tests come around recently - even though they showed a blank and I kinda resigned myself to a life of stinking hahaha
I can now see that I need to continue with some investigations - and I understand that this it not the place for medical advice . Yeah it's not easy when you find yourself smelling and I guess it's not normal - so perhaps I can't blame people for being put out either.
Thanks

kitkat23

Rather embarrassing - I will stink out the office for a few months yet haha ah well

njs030

Did you say you had 3 blood tests? That's not enough. Go back and have more, see a different doctors if your own won't do it.
You know you can't be given medical advice but some autoimmune disorders cause excessive sweating though it doesn't have any smell as its water, it but it's embarrassing so there's medication that can prevent it. You would need a diagnosis by a proper doctor as its prescription only.
Any sweat that smells that bad needs to be seen urgently, there must be something very wrong!

Wesser

So is bacteria building up on the tonsils as suggested by someone else.
There have been lots of possible diagnosis offered by other posters.
I think my suggestion is valid and helpful.
Google it.

kitkat23

Hey guys, yeah it's all good. I will get further investigations. I actually never came on here for a diagnoses - I was actually wondering if people had the same experience all the time like me in the last year and how they function in their lives, work, home and personal etc haha so that's why i posted - that's where my head was at as I have explained above. I think i was just like well fk it if that it then i have to live with it. But nah - I will look into it further and go back to the dentist and doctor.
But the crux of it is coming from my breath - just as an aside I have had sweaty feet since teenage years and they have always had some kind of smell, i notice friends etc with this too, so whilst I understand that sweat is odorless etc some of us do smell a bit right??haha not that I'm attached to these smells, trust me!!

The_Conductor

Vis-a-vis the coating on the tongue- and indeed the smell- these can sometimes be caused by an overgrowth of bacteria in our bodies- its not necessarily an issue, but can be bothersome.

In the States and in some EU countries (not Ireland unfortunately) you can get 'Magic Mouthwash'. Its a combination of ingredients- and was in fact originally formulated to help oncology patients because of the chronic mouth ulcers, mucus and inflamation oncology treatments can cause.

Its OTC in many places- and basically, contains-

• Tincture of peppermint
• An oral antibiotic to manage bacterial buildup in the mouth
• An oral fungicide to reduce fungal growths in the mouth
• A mild corticosteroid to reduce inflamation of the papillae (the taste buds on your tongue- when they're inflamed, it exacerbates trapped food etc)
• An antacid- to manage high acid loads- which also helps with wear on teeth, and upset stomachs- and helps all the other ingredients coat your mouth properly
• An antihistamine

Regular mouth washes contain several of the above- however, few touch all of the above bases.

Its OTC in many countries- and in the few states that I know of in the US (PA,NY etc) a lot of local pharmacists do a flying trade in their own homemade versions of it.

Vis-a-vis the sweating etc- get it checked out properly- it could be a sign of a number of different things.

Single biggest thing that I did that eliminated this issue for me- cutting down on my sugar intake (and using some prescription strength toothpaste (Duraphat)).

Mod Note
Wesser - your most recent post has been deleted for being off topic.
Any more messing about here we're going to start carding you at a minimum.

Your original post gave NO advice it just named one medical cause. This is a medical diagnosis.

The other posts you have quoted or referred to do not. Its a fine line and if you can't see it then maybe you'd be better off choosing to post elsewhere as right now after two off topic posts you're beyond the point we'd normally start issuing infractions.

These are called tonsil stones and if you google them, you can see what the poster is talking about.

SarahMollie

I've heard of botox being used to paralyses sweat glands in areas where they're overactive, such as feet, underarms, etc.

This could help with at least the smelly feet issue. If you're sweating an abnormal amount then this sweat is going to build up in your shoes and socks and become stale and smelly. The best thing you can do in the short term is to change your socks regularly and not wear the same shoes on consecutive days (ie give them a chance to air out between wears).

OP do you actually have bad breath or is that all because of the comments of one co-worker? You first post is confusing as it starts about tooth decay and then goes off about sweating feet and bad BO and people saying there was a fishy smell when you were surfing?!?! but your GP and Dentist have said they saw nothing wrong and your parents and friend say they don't notice anything but you think they aren't being honest because they sniff a lot around you?

Before going down the road of more tests can we just be sure this isn't paranoia because of one comment. You say your stinking out the office but have people actually commented on that or was it just that one person? Your dentist said he couldn't find see anything wrong but did you actually ask him about bad breath? Did he say he could smell bad breath? If you've bad BO you should be able to smell it on your clothes. If your changing them regularly and wearing the right types of materials, washing and using a strong deodorant and you can still smell BO then that's a serious issue that you should speak to your GP about but you said you went for an endoscopy which would be for the bad breath not stinky feet?

HelgaWard

Just wondering do you put on freshly washed clothes daily? Could the issue be that you are wearing the same clothes several days in a row? How do you wash and dry your clothes? Do they actually smell fully clean before you put them on? It could be just a build up of odors on your garments?

There's a dettol anti bacterial laundry liquid http://www.dettol.ie/products/laundry-sanitiser/dettol-antibacterial-laundry-cleanser/?gclid=COTUxs6v-M8CFQeL2wodawwJew that is really good for getting rid of lingering bacteria. Great for washing sports gear and the like.

Gotta agree here. When you become sensitised to people's behaviour you can convince yourself of anything. OP if you say beside me for an hour Id probably sniff and scratch my nose dozens of times and it would have absolutely nothing to do with you. If your family say they can't smell anything then they probably can't.

Also they guy who opened the window. Did he reference you directly? Could it be a joke about farting that he has with the other guy or something else?

I don't doubt there's an issue with bad breath and BO but not necessarily to the extent that people regularly notice. My experience of people with bad breath is that you'll only smell it off them occasionally and only when you're directly talking to them. It seems highly unlikely to me that people would get the smell off your breath just by sharing an office with you.

DoozerT6

Diabetes and kidney problems can cause a noticeable offensive odour from the breath - I have a friend who is diabetic and her breath would knock you from about 6 feet away if her diabetes is out of whack. I would advise getting these checked out too.

Someone mentioned tonsil stones - this could also be the issue, so could sinus problems, etc. Maybe pay for a private ENT appointment with a consultant to see if they can spot anything? (you'll be waiting YEARS on the public list to see a specialist).

Definitely change shoes and socks every day, wash your feet twice a day if need be and use a medicated foot spray or powder after every wash. If all else fails, maybe botox injections could work?

I'm no doctor, but maybe there's an overgrowth of bacteria somewhere in your system? Maybe a specialist dietician might be able to work with you to see if eliminating/including certain foods in your diet might help?

I'm just throwing ideas out there...

Esel

The dentist would have seen tonsil stones if they were there.

SB_Part2

My sister had incredibly smelly breath and no amount of brushing, chewing gum helped. It was worse after she ate. She went to the dentist and they found no issues with her teeth.

Turned out it was a pocket on the inside of her cheek that was filling up with gunk and when she ate she was releasing the 'gunk'. She returned to the dentist and before she even had a chance to mention it he had sucked all the gunk out and it's never caused her issues again.

Rekop dog

You say you sweat a lot, this naturally makes you dehydrated and this is probably the cause of the build of of mucus overnight as its one of the side affects of dehydration. I mean it's a bit of a vicious circle as I imagine the whole thing stresses you a bit which causes further sweating.

I advice drinking more fluids and possibly talking to a doctor about the route cause of the sweating and if it's possibly anxiety related.

kitkat23

Guys, thank you very much for your comments. Sorry I have not been more succinct in my op. Today was a joke btw for the whole thing - will let you know how i got on to give you a laugh.
Basically, yes there is a foul stench coming from my breath. Most of the time I cannot directly smell it but on occasion I can and it ranges from sweet to fishy to foul. My tongue is coated constantly and there is mucus in the back of my throat all day long - yellow almost looks like there is bile coming up. Thank you to the poster above who spoke about their sister - the ENT doc did say to me that it could be something in my cheek and i am waiting on a app to get a CT scan done. Personally, as a few have mentioned I think it's all to do with bacteria, fungas etc. I have been applying fungal ointment to my tongue - to no avail.. I went to the chemist to get the fungal tablets - however these are only available on prescription and at that stage (a few months ago) i was very fk'd off and sensitive about this that i just left the chemist feeling hopeless and had a cry. Believe it or not it's extremely difficult to get a doctor here to listen as they don't want to be told what it is - they think all can be solved by a blood test. The bad breath is the single biggest issue - I have mentioned it to the ENT specialist and the ENT and the docs.

Anyway, with the sweating, at times its like a rain drop on a pane of glass. I will see a trickle on my forearm and wonder where the water is coming from - then realise - under my arm!!haha (you have to laugh really) I think all is connected. Under my toes - well that area sweats like 1min after the shower.
Anyway, today I got into work and i smelt bad!! like my feet were sweating like crazy and my shirt soaked through underarms, all with this lovely weather we're having! My breath was bad - caught wind of it myself and on top of this I forgot to spray perfume. The poor lad in my room (a diff lad), never mind rub his nose, basically kept his finger under his nose. All the while I have the window open in November at 8.30 in the morning!! I'm roasting like.
Anyway - drove home at lunchtime, morto, had a quick shower, washed the underarms of my shirt, changed my undergarment, scraped my tongue, brushed my teeth etc also - my sandals - every morning I put boiling water on a towel and rest it on the soles of my shoes to kill off an bacteria - I usually change my shoes everyday - I bought 5 pairs of open toe sandals in the knowledge of all this so my feet could breath and I could change shoes every day. I never wear the same attire - in the top half of my body twice without washing- that would be impossible.
My diet wouldn't be the best - I have stopped eating a lot of meat - do you know that smell of like red meat -stake or whatever either the meat itself or your breath after you eat it - well that's what my breath smells like all the time. i cant really touch it. Anyway, i need to completely sort out my diet because my body is having a feeding frenzy from something - i think bacteria, fungal maybe a parasite or even an STI - tho this is unlikely but i will get this checked out in a few weeks.
I thought today to quit this job cus i'm kinda making a fool of myself sitting there all day like i think i smell alright hahaha - and yes, it is anxiety producing of course. But you know what I learned from someone else recently that kindness and generosity and warmth is what humbles us - i initially though all this would humble me. Maybe its to make me stronger.

I dont want to moan too much about it tbh! I will see what happens. Thank you for paying attention and taking an interest

kitkat23

Sorry its October - i'm ahead of myself

If your dentist, your ENT specialist,& your GP are failing to diagnose the problem, you should organise a referral to see a Consultant in Oral Medicine in Cork or Dublin Dental Hospitals.

This sounds like a systemic issue. I agree with those who say yo need to be looked at by a specialist. What you are experiencing isn't normal, something is wrong.

GPs are often out of their depth too with this kind of thing. The key is finding the right people to investigate.

I think you're right, I wonder who it is that i need to go to? Like, i literally knew in my gut i was banging my head up against a brick wall with the GP - i went to 2 different ones and while one was better than the other i really had that conveyor belt feeling of you have your 5 mns and i can only deal with one thing at a time and i left demoralized, it's no good - even more hopless than if i try and manage it which i clearly can't. Any suggestions about what to do with work life until i get this checked out?? hmm haha terrible stinking the place up. Obv's i wont be going on any blind dates anytime soon haha

I said in my last post there's a medication that stops sweating being as bad. See the better of the two doctors tomorrow and ask for it, explain exactly what your life is like without any joking or attempts to laugh it off and tell them you simply cannot continue like this! That medication will bring the amount down and at least make the smell less.
Are you wearing sandals in Ireland in winter? You're not cold? And excessive sweating? And anxiety? Tell your doctor those symptoms if that's what you are feeling!

Ask for it to be fully investigated and ask the doctor who is the right person to refer you to and make sure that referral is done.

kitkat23

I will go back and explain the present situation (which hasn't changed in nearly a year)..i'm working a lot of hours in a new job so i will try and do this as soon as i can. I think it's an all over thing though so rather than tackle one i thought it would be best to try and find out whats going on altogether. My faith in the GP has dwindled a bit i'm afraid to say - I have been in tears over this - that's how i managed to get the ENT - blood from a stone would be easier.

I hope it improved. Yes i'm wearing sandles and you better believe it, i feel the nip but my insides are hot...

njs030

Don't you think it's more important to get these things sorted out? A few hours off work isn't going to kill you. Letting an illness or disorder run on undiagnosed could have serious consequences.
Is your weight OK?

kitkat23

yeah i need to get it resolved - i'm not confident that the GP will help. I said i have seen 2 - both of them like 3 times each over the past year and none of those times did i feel like this was being taken or presented to me as an issue - genuienly. "Some ppl just sweat more" was said - "could be hormonal so.. lets do a blood test". Results fine etc... etc... i have told them about the impact it's having - without wanting to go down a road too anxiety based (as i'm currently managing ok with that - just) - but basically said its prohibiting how i live my life every single day etc
Yeah my weights ok - i'm under 9 stone 5'3 - could do with tightening up apart from that

OP I don't have much to say to you except that my heart goes out to you. You seem like a great person and I'm really sorry you've been afflicted with this. All I would say to you is keep knocking on the door of the medical system. Do as much research as you can and keep pushing for tests and support. There's a wide range of medical conditions that can cause your problems and it is best to eliminate them all before considering treatments.

If it turns out you are healthy you could opt for surgery to remove the sweat glands on the skin in your armpits, or botox in your underarms and on your feet. But those kinds of things treat symptoms and if there's a malicious cause you must find it.

I wish you the best of luck and am sending you a hug!

PS Take some sick leave if you need it. This is a legitimate problem!

You made a joke before about becoming vegan and this might be a start! Not for the long road but for a short period and gradually work yourself back to what foods are good for you and what foods are contributing to your problem. What are your BM like? as that can tell you a lot about your body and its intake. It sounds like you are full of toxins and producing an unusual amount and that is why your tongue ( well one reason) is coated in mucus. Its a symptom as well of detoxing so maybe your body is naturally detoxing things that it doesn't want inside it at a rapid rate. Is there a food substance you constantly ingest? That could contribute to this? The sweating of the body and feet could all stem from you being anxious about the smell from your breath as you seem to strongly worry about that as opposed to the rest. Would you consider doing a three day fast? i do them regularly and it kind of restores my digestion system or otherwise it would be a mess and leads me to all sorts of problems. You obviously have a medical condition and maybe for work you could let it slip to one person so they can tell other people if that is a huge worry to you and it may lessen your anxiety. Do you suffer from Panic attacks?

I think you should make a private appointment with an Endocrinologist. They can check for hormonal or chemical imbalances so I think it would be a good place to start.

Hi OP I too had a sweat problem, looked like I just stepped out of shower. I would start to sweat straight after washing, no stop. Yughy feet too . A friend recommended Ayurveda Pitta Tea available from Health food shops. After a few days I was drier and now just drink a cup a few times a week. You could drink a cup first thing in morning, hot or cold, and drink on and off during the day. This may help you too. Best of luck
