Question 3

my breast smells like feces. i am constanly drinking water and chewing on gum. i am afraid to talk to people.  i do have gastric problems and i take meds for it (dexilant). i also take medication for depresion (effexor) and meds to help

Accepted Answer

From : From your post, you are obviously under the care of physicians, which is a good thing.

Halitosis can also be coming from your mouth. Cavities, gum disease, even failing crowns & bridgework can trap bacteria that you cannot keep clean. The odor comes from the acid and toxins that they release. Diet can also play a role.

When is the last time you were examined by a dentist and had your teeth cleaned professionally? I suggest you make an appointment with your dentist and have him/her rule out any problems with your teeth and gums. Once that is completed and you've ruled out any oral conditions, you can concentrate on the other factors that may be causing your halitosis.

Hopr this info helps.
