Breath/ funky taste

[fuzzymonkey 38]

I am 3 weeks out and I have horrible breath and continuously have a horrible taste in my mouth. Anyone else experience this? Even after brushing my teeth it appears about an hour later.

Eating low carb can put you into ketosis. It can affect your breath and complicate body odor. As for myself, I brush my teeth a lot, carry Tic Tacs and Gas X Strips, and take frequent "bird baths" throughout the day. I also had a metallic taste for a while after surgery. At four months, that's gone.

Not really a metallic taste, but I understand what you are saying and it makes sense. Things don't even taste good... Used to love crystal light fruit punch, not now. Used to love eggs.... All tastes weird.

Saw my primary Dr. who works in internal medicine and she said the bad taste in the mouth is from the chewable Multivitamin.

I have had this issue, too. THings I think are going to taste great taste terrible and it's like my sense of smell is on overdrive! Everything smells awful to me, too! I was thinking it was a combo of ketosis and maybe the prilosec?

My Dr. Said the Prilosec should not be causing that. I've been on it for years and never had this issue.

It fades, just give it a 4-6 weeks. Sometimes it comes back. The worst was my wife's breath or anyone's breath for that matter. One week out I was in an elevator with about six other people it was awful.

OH THank goodness! I thought I was the only one! Everyones breath is horrid! What is up with that? It is disgusting and it gags me to the point of no return. Please tell me it goes away!

I am lying in bed laughing because I know I have bad breath and an awful taste in my mouth lots, as well as my teeth feel grimy. Brushing my teeth doesn't seem to help. I'm glad you mentioned the heightened sense of smell. I thought it was just me. Funny! I guess it's just part of the process!
