Poop breath

My husband and I are getting in bed tonight and he starts talking about flossing which I do. He then tells me that my breath has a poppy smell. Now I thought my breath had finally passed the poop stage and was feeling quite confident. I'm like how long has it been bad and he says weeks! I'm like what the !@?#!!! What the heck do I do now? Mind you he was trying to be kind, but why didn't he tell me weeks ago.

Well, assuming that you haven't had a bowel obstruction and been vomiting, then you better go to a dentist and have him/her look for infection...is what I would think....

Usually ketosis does not smell like poop but it does have a funk smell. He could be exaggerating of course. It could be ketosis.
I found that since I am eating way more meat than I use to that I do floss more because meat stuck in between your teeth tends to get stinky pretty quick.

Are you taking probiotics?  You might want to check in with your surgeon and talk about this.

You need to know that my husband exaggerates. The rest of my family said they don't notice. I'm going to go buy a waterpick since I do eat a lot of meat and I will floss even mre than before and start taking probiotics. I'll show him! When he went to kiss me this morning I kept my lips tightly shut. Haha!

My kids (young adults) began informing me that I had terrible breath. They said it was like spoiled milk. My oral health is perfect so I did some Internet research. It said that excessive stomach flora could cause this. This can be countered with good probiotics. I have been taking them since surgery, but I added a different strain and haven't had a problem since--I hope.

What brand of probiotics do you use?

I happen to use Trader Joes best . It's expensive but it has the greatest numbers and variety of biotics. Really any good probiotic that has large numbers of varied biotics would help. I'm no expert here.
