Bad breath
Anyone have problems with bad breath. Like rotten vegetables or sour milk. I can't smell it but others can it is very humiliating I need some guidance and help what to do. I've been taking probiotics. And I'm 4yrs post ds. Do ketosis is not it either.
You might try to increase your probiotics but also see if your surgeon's office would like to have you come in to run some tests. Keep us posted on what you find and good luck.

The bad breathe comes from ketosis, unless you have bacteria or infection in your teeth.
I chew SF gum at work, brush my teeth twice at work, take probiotics (major ones, which help in a lot of other areas). I'm not losing weight per se, but I notice that if I don't have any carbs then my breathe will be worse than a trash can by the 5th day.
Even when I am not losing weight, I am eating low carb. I've done the urine stick tests to see if I was in ketosis - and I never was, but my breathe was always atrocious until I gave into a pasta dinner.
Try an experiment. Eat carbs for a weekend. Have a pasta dinner with garlic bread, a little wine, and see if your breathe goes back to normal from the carbs. Then you will know.
If eating carbs doesn't change it, time to see the doctor.
