Maybe: Different diets can possibly lead to bad breath. This can also be the signs of stomach problems. See your dentist and physician for a more definitive diagnosis.

ANY CARB WILL DO : High or low carb diet can result in bad breath if you have poor oral hygiene or acid reflux. Brush and rinse with hydrogen peroxide.

Diet and bad breath: While different diets can have different chemicals the key to breath is oral,hygiene. Good brushing, flossing and tongue cleaning will keep your breath fresh. Using xylitol gum or mints will also help control some of the oral bacteria.

Definitely, yes: A low carbohydrates diet causes your body to burn fat but in the process it produces ketones, which cause bad breath. Also bad breath is caused from poor dental health, tooth decay.and may be a sign of other health problems. Hope it helps.
