Why does my breath smell like sour pickles sometimes? even if i didn't eat pickles or anything in that category? what can i do to prevent it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several possibilitie: including eating or regurgitating sour pickles. More likely, you have stomach acid that is refluxing up. Reflux and acid blockers, or tums (calcium carbonate) are methods for lowering the stomach acid.
