Really Bad Breath, Worse On Gluten

I have had ongoing, permanent bad breath (my little children always tell me) since going gluten light,(after a period of gluten free) and have noticed it's been getting worse, but much much worse since doing this challenge.

I am also aware it's a sign of candida infection. I was just wondering if any one else noticed that they had bad breath when on gluten and then it got better when they went gluten free? Or if it is a known sign of celiac disease / gluten intolerance. I haven't seen it on any lists of symptoms anywhere, but often real peoples experiences are the best ....

thanks

I've been off gluten three years now, but your post reminded me. It was an issue for both my son and I. We were diagnosed at the same time. We don't notice it now, even when we get glutened, so I'd forgotten all about it. Hopefully it will go away for you too.

I read something about bad breath on a food intolerance list I'm on. One person mentioned that diabetes can cause odor. Another mentioned this link: Open Original Shared Link (low carb diet causing bad breath) I personally don't know anything about this topic, but thought I'd forward this info in case it helps...

Eosinophilic Esophagitus also causes bad breath. Have you noticed and creamish/ white spots on your tonsils? It smells like puss.

Diebetic ketosis smells like acetone (an ingredient in nail polish remover)

Sinus problems, candida overgrowth, food intolerances/ GI problems, and dry mouth/dental issues can also be a factor.

It is a reason to see a doctor.

I think bad breath can definitely be a gluten intolerance/celiac symptom. I never realized I had an issue with bad breath until my fiancee told me about it. According to him, it's only present when I've had gluten and my breath is normal when I'm gluten free - which I've been for about 9 months now. He can tell if I've had any accidental gluten by my breath (in addition to my other symptoms - mostly bloating and migraine). Anyway, he says it smells 'like something crawled down my throat and died'. Yikes!

Yes.. I am experimenting the same thing.. I have not been diagnosed with Celiac but I have PCOS and decided to try going Gluten free because I heard that it may jump start my cycle on it's own..

But I did notice that my breathe is fresher.. I had a deep cleaning and it didn't help.. So I thought that my case was more severe.. But I guess my body isn't able to handle Gluten very well., I have been Gluten free for about a week or so.. Thank u for your post!!

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      Just an update on my daughter. She is still in hospital and getting quite depressed about everything. She had a CT scan of head and chest to rule out stroke in view of her symptoms. Thankfully there is no evidence of that so they now want to do an MRI to rule out MS so this is freaking her out and it’s not doing me much good either!!!They’re also going to ...

      celiac disease and braces

      Your concerns are reasonable about the celiac risk aspect, and getting additional medical input is a good idea. Obviously I don't know the extent of your child's misalignment, but please don't think of it as just a cosmetic issue. Braces improve bite alignment and typically provide long term health benefits.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      I watched my spouse go through shingles before the vaccine was available for "younger" people, so I got the vaccine as soon as I could. It really knocked me down too, especially the second dose. Even with that, if necessary I would take that vaccine every year to avoid getting shingles. Luckily it's a lifetime benefit though.

      Prospective CRISPR research

      Hi Aretaeus, Thanks for posting these articles. The second of the two relates to my query. Last week there was a podcast by the Washington Post with the director of the NIH and CDC. Both institutions are now headed by one guy, Dr. Bhattacharya. He claims that research funding for rare diseases has NOT been cut. The question still remains, how do...

Thankfully there is no evidence of that so they now want to do an MRI to rule out MS so this is freaking her out and it’s not doing me much good either!!!They’re also going to do further blood tests to check vitamin levels. My husband and I are trying to reassure her the best we can that hopefully it’s just her body’s reaction to having the Vitamin B medication and it’s affecting her nervous system etc. Think the tingling has subsided but still having some lower back and pelvic pain and some leg pain. Thanks for reading and my apologies if I sound paranoid.

      Hi Aretaeus, Thanks for posting these articles.  The second of the two relates to my query.  Last week there was a podcast by the Washington Post with the director of the NIH and CDC.  Both institutions are now headed by one guy, Dr. Bhattacharya.  He claims that research funding for rare diseases has NOT been cut.  The question still remains, how do we get Celiac on their radar when of course we are competing for dollars with all kinds of other diseases?  Are people in our community interested in a CRISPR cure?   It seems to me CRISPR works at odds with big pharma because it actually IS a cure.  You wouldn't have to take a drug to suppress T cell inflammation for the rest of your life.  CRISPR is supposed to permanently rewrite your DNA.  I assume we would really need the NIH to fund that research, not rely drug companies.  Dr. Dounda, the brilliant microbiologist, who won the Nobel for her research, making CRISPR possible, thinks that the hefty price will diminish as treatment migrates from bone marrow transplant to infusion therapy.   Because Stanford University started studying celiac and CD8 cells a few years ago, I was curious to see if any progress had been reported.  What I found was a proposal to create a CRISPR platform for celiac by Theresa Flores.  I haven't found anything that states whether or not she got funding.  If anyone at Celiac.com has seen something, please let me know before I start composing a letter to Dr. Bhattacharya.  Not that one little voice in the wilderness is going to move the needle.  If others would also like to write to him, or help compose a joint letter, that would be great.
