Yucky breath - What to do?

[s&swtr]

Eww! I am on Day 11. And I was hoping to see threads pertaining to this, but haven't yet, so...

What can be done for this?
I brush often (even my tongue), drink all 64 ounces of h20, spread my veggies throughout my meals, add lime juice to my h20,...

What do some of you do? I have not had noticeably stinky breath before and now I do, especially after meals!

I don't want to give in to mints or gum, but it's icky and getting old fast! Plus I have a dentist appointment in 2 weeks!

Well if you do decide to look for mints Walgreens puts out their own brand of mints made with splenda. They come in a little tin for .99. Peppermint, Wintergreen and Cinnamon.

Breath freshener sprays? You can get small ones to carry with you.

I had this VERY bad. Then a friend gave me a recipe for a natural mouthwash, which is fantastic! It tastes nice and minty and is really good, it works! I got the oils in a health food shop.

2 fl oz Water
0.25 Teaspoon of baking soda
1 drop Peppermint Oil
1 drop Tea Tree oil

Mix together and shake well - it needs a shake before use too. You need very little and it fits in a small bottle in your bag (I use an empty vanilla essence bottle).

Other things that helped were:

Drinking EVEN more water.
Chewing on parsley
Sucking a dried clove

It seems to pass though - at least mine did. My breath is back to normal now, though I still use the mouthwash as I liked it - and also because I had a LOT of quite expensive oil to use up!

Thanks everyone! That mouthwash is something I'll have to try!

Hi. I see you posted a while ago but I just saw your post and have had the same problem. I use the listerine strips. They have no sweetner so they're great for me. I don't want to give up one of my splenda packs for a breath mint!

Re: Yucky breath - What to do?

I am having a different problem - maybe ya'll can help me out... its not bad breath but dry mouth... I drink plenty of water between 100-140 oz a day (Need to ask my boss if i can move my office into the ladies room (LOL)) Anyone else experience the dry mouth sensation? If so what did you do to get rid of it?



Thanks
