Mamasan, any thing you've come across that has helped your bad breath? I was on double doses of Protonix for awhile but that didn't help. Guess it cuts down on acid production but doesn't necessarily refluxing.

:mad:I agree. The smell is from acid reaching the back of the throat and mouth. It so embarrassing. I sit at my desk daily and watch as people pass and hold their nose. No matter what I do it doesn't get any better. I was on two doses of Protonix daily for months-it didn't help. I am now taking Ranitidie once a day doesn't help. I brush 3-6 times a day, with zinc based toothpaste and peroxide and it doesn't help at all. I just want my life back. I haven't been on a date in over a year. I avoid most public places because it so embarrassing. Even my closet friend at work asked me it I flossed daily and used mouthwash as if I haven't tried everything I've come across--Nothing works:mad:.
