A member asked:

My husband had his gall bladder taken out. he since has had potent unusual halitosis yet has excellent hygiene. is there a supplement he can try?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I would not: recommend ginger or garlic. But perhaps peppermint oil, as it's been shown to be helpful in patients with IBS, and may help with his halitosis.
