Breath worse or better?

[LisaOle 20]

Ok weird question I know.... When low carb and in ketosis bad breath can occur.... Not brushing teeth and tongue bad breath happens, plus sore stomach.... After surgery and you no long produce the bile in your new pouch I'm curious if it makes a impact on breath? I hope I worded this all right ????

No one has said anything to me about this. My family would, in a very loud way. I think you just need to keep up on your dental care and keep your mouth wet by sipping all that Water.

Nope my breathe was horrible the first 3-4 weeks!! I brushed and brushed and nada and I am freak when it comes to my teeth!! I know they say don't chew gum but when I was out in public had to! It will get better!!

I brush a few times a day already so I guess I will purchase a breath spray or something for first few weeks ???????? just in case. I still have approximately 2 months before surgery ( if all goes as plan, fingers crossed)

Yep bad breath due to the ketogenic diet. " ketosis breath". I just carry the listerine strips every where I go and brush whenever I can.

Well i was told it can cause bad gas due to the air while chewing. Also a couple of days post op, you don't want to cause an obstruction by swallowing.
