bad breath

hey everyone....seems like I brush, floss, mouth wash...and nothing gets rid of this bad breath I think I have...hubby says "a little"...maybe I have a bad taste in my mouth and thats why I think it's more than just "a little"...I know when you start burning ketones...that can give you bad breath...but what to do about it...any ideas???

I've heard alot of other post-ops recommend Devrom & Chlorphyll. I haven't tried them but beleive me I need to ... ~Toni

I thought it was only me and all the milk I have been drinking or the protein shakes or the vitamins...lol. I don't know what it is to tell you the truth. I hope the more experienced losers could give us a hand...or solution. Jessica RNY 11/22/04 299lbs- now 277lbs

OH THANK GOODNESS ITS NOT JUST ME! My breath has been something awful! I was told that because your body is almost in the fasting mode that this would happen. I have to chew a lot of sugar free gum and I swear I brush my teeth everytime I walk past my bathroom. The good thing is that my teeth are more white now...hahah Good luck!

Honey, that is ketosis. I just asked my Doctor and he said it will go away once my body is done losing weight. It is a pain, but look at it this way...as long as my breath smells, I am losing weight.

Hey, you may need to visit your dentist. Sometimes it is a tooth rotting under the crown (if you have any) or a new cavity that has not start yet to give you pains. I personally found out however, that Atkins shakes make my breath bad too, so that could be it. Anyway, a checkup with your dentist won't hurt.
