I am suffering from halitosis. I cannot smell it myself. I am post op gastric bypass for 5 and 1/2 years and I wonder if this could be related? I don't know, very frustrated. I am also a nursing student and classmates have informed me of my foul breath and a patient even complained to my instructor. I went out last Saturday and the some people I was with were gossiping later to a friend of mine who told me about it. It appears to be very very bad at sometimes and not noticeable at others. The worst part is that I do not know when I am offensive. When it is bad mints do not help. I went to a dentist first and they said nothing was going on in my mouth. I went to a doctor who said he didn't smell anything. I brush and floss and then use listerine and then follow with crest mouthwash. I have no idea what else to do. I have a ton of anxiety about this because I don't want this issue to be present when I start my career as a nurse. ( I graduate in May) The last thing I need is more social issues.
