Question 4

difference between align pro-biotic and activia pro-biotic yogurt ? which is better for stomach troubles and bad breath ?

Accepted Answer

Brush, floss & wash: Yogurt may help the body regulate the types of microorganisms in the gut and mouth. Consequently, pro-biotic yogurts may help treat halitosis (bad breath) but you need to make sure you are  engaging in proper oral hygiene as well. Proper teeth brushing, flossing and use of mouthwash will be your best bet for better breath.

Question 5

i have bad breath i assume it is because of mucus in my stomach, how do i get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Brush tongue/palate: your bad breath is probably not due to mucus in your stomach.... bad breath is most commonly caused by the mouth itself.  make sure when you brush to also brush your tongue and palate (the hard roof of your mouth).  bacteria love those two places as much as teeth and gums.

Question 6

does constipation cause bad breath ? or is it cause of stomach infections or disease ?

Accepted Answer

No, No, and NO!: Please don't be fooled by colon cleanser claims!  constipation is defined by doctors as bowel infrequency--less than one stool every 3-4 days. In most cases of non-obstructed constipation, neither bad breath, stomach infections, nor disease in general will result. Be concerned in rare cases of  bowel blockage of any cause, marked dysmotility (colonic inertia, pelvic floor dysfunction), etc.

Question 7

if a cavity hurt for 7 years and all of a sudden stopped hurting, then you had it filled, will it cause bad breath and possibly stomach ulcers?

Accepted Answer

See below: Stomach ulcers...I would say no, but bad breath could be related to an active infection of the oral cavity however this is not the only cause.  If you had a tooth that hurt that long and finally had it filled it may have already died and abcessed and may need root canal or extraction.  Again this may not be the cause of the bad breath but could be.

Question 8

i have body odor & i can't get rid of bad breath i floss and brush & still don't work can it be my stomach or maybe a sign of diabetes i'm 240 pounds?

Accepted Answer

Several things: It's very hard to determine if these symptoms are all related. I would recommend you see both your internist and dentist   The bad breath could be caused by dental decay, periodontitis, and /or stomach GI issues such as reflux.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Question 10
