bad taste in mouth

Thread Starter  

In the past couple of weeks I have noticed that I have a bad taste or bad breath especially when I am eating or drinking. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it go away? Does this have anything to do with stomach acid?

Going for my second fill today. I have had little to no restriction. I have 1.6 cc's in my 4 cc band.

Everyone have a great day.

Kathy

Hi Kathy -

If you are adhering strictly to a high protein/low carb diet, you could be in ketosis, which is supposed to give you bad breath. However, I never noticed any taste change.

It sounds more likely to me that you have a decaying tooth that doesn't hurt yet. Flossing may help you determine which one, but my initial suggestion would be to see your dentist.
