Re: Bad Breath?

[Guest guest]

Good question! I was going to ask too. has had horrible breath for a

long time now. I brush her teeth 1-2 times per day, but her breath is still

always bad. I'm wondering about yeast. WE haven't tested or treated for

anything yet. Just started the diet and are frantically trying to get her

therapy in place. Then its off to test for everything! Let me know what you

find out about the breath!

The last few days, has had breath that would stop a truck.. His ped

and I both agreed that it's a gastro smell coming up from his belly.. Is this

because he's eating more and different foods now?

<His ped

gets this type of reflux when he has a slip up. He had it

incessantly before the diet. As a matter of fact, that's what we use as our

" true test " of whether or not a food contains gluten, regardless of what the

maker may claim. Are they any other symptoms of a slip-up such as unusually

stimmy, etc.?

While these children also have terrible yeast problems, many of them also

have an overgrowth of bad bacteria in their guts as well. Why so many

people use Pro bio Gold (We use twice a day) in order to put in more good

bacteria and keep more of a balance in there. Since the digestive tract is

one long tube , it seems logical to me that this would effect the breath and

their seeming ease at which they get cavities.

Both my boys have terrible morning breath - really awful. I found that

when I gave them a EnzymAid the night before, it stopped the foul breath.

The only problem we're having though is that's the EZA is causing my

little guy to be constipated so I will have to reduce the amount I'm

giving him. It also has firmed up their bowls nicely and stopped the

sour smelling BMs that my younger son used to have all the time.

Hope this helps.

A few months ago, a listmate posted about brushing teeth with a

probiotic to tackle the yeast in the mouth. It sounded like it was

worth a try, but so far it remains on my " to do " list.

I have read that any extreme bodily odors: smelly bathroom episodes,

body odor, bad breath, means that something in the digestive tract is

not working. My youngest had irregular BMs that REAKED for years. It

was a mess...literally. He also have strong body odor, he is 7 1/2

now. We finally ended it with probiotics and using enzymes regularly

(he takes Peptizyde and Zyme Prime at every meal). He is quite

regular as well.
