Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 My guy told me that on top of everything else, I now have bad breath. Medicine? Teeth rotting from starvation? The vomiting has been under control for a couple of weeks. I gave up on fat after my last emergency room visit and stay under 10 grams a day. My weight is still dropping but more slowly now. I am 5'9 " and weigh 119 lbs. So, I would feel better if you guys said this is not related and I just need to go get my teeth cleaned but I have been told it doesn't smell food or dirty teeth related. Also, what is a feeding tube? The surgeon said if I dropped under 120, he wanted to look into alternate ways of nutrition. I knew I would end up a borg.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Carol, I had to have colon surgery 11 years ago, and about a year after my surgery, I became unwell, but it wasn't an instant illness, in fact we don't even know exactly what it was, but my hair went oily, looked dirty even though I was washing it as normal, I looked like I had the flu, but didn't feel fluish, just run down...but a woman that i worked with pulled me aside and asked if I was sick because she said that my breath smelled, and it wasn't normal bad breath. I went to the doctor, and for the life of me, I can't remember what happened, but whatever it was I had ran it's course and then my breath didn't smell bad anymore.... All I am saying is that illness or disease can show in many ways, including bad breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
