Bad Breath?

[asimplegrl4484 6]

Did anyone notice that they had bad breath after surgery? I'm 2 weeks post op and ever since my surgery I've had bad breath even though I brush and use mouthwash daily. I was just wondering if this was normal and if it goes away once I'm completely healed?

I did too! Dr said it was due to dry mouth. I tried sipping Water all day long which I was supposed to be doing anyway. That helped a lot.

I have too. I thought the chewable vitamins may be causing it.

I think it's the chewable Vitamins & protien. I've noticed the same thing on me..however today right after chewing my Vitamins I noticed the smell right away and determined it was the chewables that have a distinct nasty breath after taste!

I have noticed the breath thing too! I am almost positive it's the Vitamins (due to the after taste) Anyone have suggestions for vitamins without the side effect of poo breath?

There's a good chance of it being from keotosis due to the lack of calories during the post op diet.

It will pass when you're finally able to eat more real food.

Best wishes to you.

Yes, my mouth tastes rotten and smells like it tastes. I thought the Vitamins too, but ketosis makes sense.
