Summary
After catching COVID, they developed severe halitosis; they also have a gut imbalance with SIBO that went between methane and hydrogen (most recently hydrogen), IBS and gastritis. Two rounds of neomycin plus rifaximin and two rifaximin-only courses did not help, and omeprazole did not help reflux. Sinus surgery and tonsil removal did not reveal a cause. At their latest post they remained ill.

Their path
They say too little about how ill they were at each step to draw it on the severity scale, so the steps are listed as they describe them. Dates are when they posted.
