Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 My understanding has always been that bad breath is supposed to be more an indication of poor digestion than of poor oral hygiene, though of course both play a role. However, since starting HCl supplementation -- and radically improving my digestion -- I've developed an intermittent but sometimes serious bad breath problem. Hygiene is not, AFAIK, playing a role. I brush (with soap) and floss several times a day, and it actually began before I switched from toothpaste to soap, so the soap's not it. Hydrogen peroxide will sometimes take care of it, as will various topical sprays and mouthwash products which I think are bleach-based and which therefore are extremely harmful in the long run. I eat probiotics pretty much daily in the form of yoghurt and supplemental probiotics. As most of you no doubt know, I eat low-carb, but this isn't ketone breath. Any thoughts on the origin of the problem, and any healthier suggestions on what I can do about it? - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
