How To Treat Severe Bad Breath?

I am really frustrated. I have had chronic bad breath for years. Now, I am getting an awful smell in my nose. I have had my tonsils taken out. I have gone to several dentists; therefore, I don't have a dental problem. I have been to half dozen ENTs, and I've even had a CT scan, so I don't have a sinus issue. Please don't tell me to brush, floss, gargle, or scrape my tongue. I don't have an issue with any of that. I don't eat garlic or onions, and I even stopped eating poultry and dairy. I don't know what else to do. I've done several cleanses: herbal and liver, and an all juice cleanse. Why is it that I cannot find help? This is very frustrating and embarrassing. It's obviously a common problem that no one wants to talk about. However, I see it all over the internet with people with the same problem. I cannot find a doctor who knows what is going on.
