H Pylori and bad breath

[Jensan]

I have been suffering from a horrendous fecal odour (occasionally rotten egg) coming from my nose, and bad breath since February this year.  I have to no avail tried to find the cause, and it is mortifyingly embarassing and socially crippling to say the least.

I have also been suffering from continous burping.

I did a stool test and my doctor has diagnosed me with H Pylori and put me on omeprazole and two types of antibiotic for two weeks.

Since starting the medication (I am on day five), my burping has decreased.

My odour, which has in recent months developed into a whole body odor, but predominatly coming out my nose, is just as horrendous, yet it has changed from a pungent fecal odour to a pungent musty odour which is very hard to explain but is extrememly unpleasant.

Why would the odour change from fecal to a musty odour; I assume this has something to do with the medication.

So, I wonder has H Pylori been causing this odour?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I suffered the same symptoms and didnt cared kept using mouth washes and it got worst by the time.
I advice you to take it seriously or it may get out of hands. No doctor can advice you on this cuz they have no answers for this and will confuse you more.
Follow my advice for 2 weeks then let me know..
Get your tonsils treated before you gotta remove it like I did, gargle with saline water twice a day before food follow up with a 200ml of fresh pineapple juice or sliced pineapple but fresh, wait for  atleast 25 30 mins then have your meal. DONT USE ANY FLAVOURED GUMS OR MOUTH SPRAYS OR MOUTH WASH OR MINT it would just make it worst.
Get your B.M.R. checked if it is getting down work on it, should be between 2500 to 3000 atleast if you are below 25 years of age and make sure you dont skip your breakfast or any other day meals..
For your constipation have a nice bowl of fresh papaya no juice freshly cut 10 mins after your dinner will feel better. Remember the thing which is happening to you needs patience and is not at all life threatning its just life suffering and since you have just started you will come out of it
Good Luck

Hi thank you for replying.

I am often constipated and therefore bleed a lot from the back passage (I assume to do with hemorroids).

My stools are normal colour but very thin.

They didn't check for any other infections or parasites.

I have no problems with my sinuses, just this awful smell.

I have been to the dentist three times, each time they say my teeth and gums are in perfect shape.

The one thing that may be relevent is that both my doctor and dentist say that I have very cryptic tonsils (and when I press them, smelly white stuff comes out).

I used to have very white tongue which periodically changed to black but since starting the medication it is clearing up (That's one good thing!).

I have been to the doctor about eight times now, I think they think I am mad! They have given me nasal sprays, gaviscon but won't send me to an ENT or gastro...however, as a student, I can't afford to go privately so I might literally beg.

Any other symptoms?
Diarrhea? Do your stools look unusual?  Anything white or black patches on your tongue? Dental problems such as tooth abcess or periodontal disease can cause severe odors as well.
Did they test for intestinal parasites or infections such as C. Diff?
Any problems with your sinuses?  

If you are female any problems with vaginal discharge or your periods?  

Your description sounds like an infection of some sort, either bacterial or yeast.  

When it comes from the mouth, nose or body, I think of the oral, nasal, GI, or vaginal tract.
