Has anyone experienced these? if you don't know what they are they are like this sorry if your eating 
I often get these sometimes and it feels like i have got small piece of a nut stuck in my throat and cough it up, if you put it near your nose it smells foul and even worse when you crush it as the smell is like shit from your ass or really bad breath smell (Calcified Pus)
Tonsil stones, also known as tonsilloliths, are caused by an accumulation of sulfur-producing bacteria and debris that become lodged in the tonsils. The debris, which can include food particles and mucus from post nasal drip, putrefies in the back of your throat and collects in the tonsil crypts which are small pockets on the surface of your tonsils.
The biggest problem with tonsil stones is that when they combine with the volatile sulfur compounds produced by bacteria beneath the surface of your tongue, they can also cause chronic and severe bad breath.

Do you get them?
I've had my tonsils removed..
I get them occasionally and it's like just one small tiny chunky piece that comes up but it's very foul if you crush it with your fingers, felt like once or twice nearly choking on them when it happens. I've not had my tonsils out.
This is another reason why i think people that have bad foul breath suffer this and not only keeping their teeth cleaned.
Only occasionally but they are like concentrated pure evil.
What's up with people who have to smell or examine their bodily things, looking at the contents of your hankie after a nose blow , inspect ing your poo after a dump........are you 10 or something ?
Surely everyone has a look down the crapper after they've unloaded......
PS there's some cracking tonsil stone extraction videos on YouTube
OP get your tonsils removed and stop posting about the various foul smells your body emits
I regularly inspect my mouth and get any tiny ones out before they start forming. Any stone sufferer will know the routine with the torch and poking about! I gargle daily and also gargle with mouthwash and mostly this seems to stop them forming. The problem with these things is a lot of doctors / dentists don't seem to have a clue what they are or take any complaints about them seriously. This is a shame as if they aren't managed the bad breath can be embarrassing. I think they are fairly common in people who have tonsils intact. Awful.
If you all want to feel sick I advise entering "tonsil stones" into a YouTube search. I would like to point out that most of them on there are whoppers!

Yep, I get them.
The worst ones are the ones you know are 'there' but cannot see or get to because they are hidden in a pouch at the back of the throat. You can feel them brewing and have this vile taste at the back of your throat for aaaages. Finally, it rears its vile-smelling, stinky yellow head and 'erupts'. Poking the little beggar out can sometimes be a job (retch!!!) but very satisfying when victory is sealed.
Surely everyone has a look, just to make sure everything is normal mainly. I once had an infection in my nostril that was giving me slight headaches. The only reason I knew I had this was because of a little bit of blood when I blew my nose in the morning. Had I not looked at the tissue I'd have never known.
Strange colours, textures, blood etc in bodily things is usually a sign that something is wrong. Surely that's why people look.

They pop out at the back of the throat and are as hard as diamond, tiny wee things but they make you gag when you swallow.
Much fun can be had howking them out with a lolly stick without making yourself .
dry heave.
I feel better having shared that with you.
And post nasal drip from dodgy sinuses is often an indicator of a mild allergy or intolerance to something. So it's possible there is a route to preventing them occuring naturally without needing to get tonsils removed.
I'm in a period of my life where tbh the freshness of my breath is of little consequence, and I can live with having mildly blocked sinuses/post nasal drip. So I've never properly investigated allergies and things.
But I'm convinced they are the cause of 99% of *foul* bad breath that you pick up from people sometimes. I mean, there's stale bad breath due to a mixture of things, which we all know and can live with - but tonsil stones basically turn your mouth into what smells like a ripe skidmark. It's pretty horrific.
If you do get them regularly make sure not to get within about 2 or 3 feet of someone's face when you're talking to them. Even if you think you're removed the visible ones they'll be others back there still giving off the poo-stench I'm afraid.
Mouthwash does nothing in my experience.
One of my friends got it so many times, and kept getting refused surgery, that eventually his tonsils just rotted away by themselves. Horrific.
