Dragon Breath

Anyone have a solution for this? I brush, floss and listerene all the time and it does not go way.

I think it's called Ketosis? They make Chlorofresh which is supposed to be 'internal deodorant'. The smell is coming deep within, not from your mouth. I bought it but haven't tried it yet.

p.s.- Do you go to the dentist regularly? If not, you could also have gingivitis or periodontal disease.

Like clockwork, every 6 months!

Google ketosis and you will see that it's very common when the body is burning ketones.  It comes out in urine too.

I would purchase a bottle of keto styx and check it.  If it turns purple, you are in ketosis.  If it doesn't turn purple, you are looking at a different medical issue. 

If you are in ketosis, you can either chew gum all the time :-), eat parsley or cilantro (I read that helps the ketone smell), or eat a bit more carbs (and slow down the weight loss).  Personally, I opted for putting chopped parsley on top of my meals and chewing SF gum at work.

The smell is from your body burning ketones (fat).  It comes with within, so brushing your teeth isn't going to kill the smell (it helps for a little bit).  The more you drop your carbs, the worse your breathe will get.  And if you eat something carby, you won't have that strong breathe till you fall back into ketosis.

Drink a lot of water.  This helps you flush out the ketones through urin (instead of your lungs).  And ketones are what is hard on your kidneys - so drink a lot of fluids so you flush out less per urination session (if you get my drift).  I had a bad habit of not drinking enough fluids and my urine smell could peel paint.  That's hard on the kidneys, so keep flushing them out.

I call it butt breath. I have found when I'm getting in enough protein it gets better. I have become very paranoid about my breath.
