I am curious if Celiac disease is somehow related to chronic halitosis (Bad breath, bb)?

I just posted a similar thread myself. I'm not sure what is going on with me, but my 'bad breath' didn't start until AFTER I was on the gluten free diet. Not sure if it has something to do with my gut trying to heal itself or what. Even with rigorous oral hygiene, my boyfriend has informed me that there is something 'off' with my breath. I don't understand it...I brush twice a day, floss, never had a cavity, and only drink water - yet still there is something going on there. i believe it has something to do with the gut...so hopefully when the gut heals, the problem will go away.

Just another possibility...my son was dx'd with lactose intolerance and the GI doctor said my son's halitosis was caused by that.

SkyBlue, you have no idea how thankful I am for you right now! I hope the OP finds his/her answer as well. I am also lactose intolerant! I only take my lactaid pills when eating icecream - everything else I don't bother with taking it, since the lactose levels aren't high enough to make me sick.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.

      Why?

      By mishyj · Posted

      My daughter has celiac disease and has had for a long time. She fell loses strictly gluten-free diet and recently got rid of all cutting boards in any gluten in her house at all. She just had a stool test and it came back showing of gigantic response to gluten in her diet. What could be going on since she doesn't eat any gluten and is very careful about any kind of hidden glue? Help!

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By cristiana · Posted

      I think sometimes the pain described here can be a result of a sort of 'perfect storm' of contributing factors.  Recently I had an appalling bout of lower back pain, lower burning gut pain and what felt like cramps.  I then started to think about what could have caused it and I realised it was several things that had set it off: I'd been carrying heavy luggage (back strain); I had been sitting down in a car for too long and wearing a tight belt (I have pudendal nerve issues and sacroiliac issues and this exacerbates the pain), and I had bloating and burning pain in my colon caused by eating too much soy, latte and caffeine, I guess putting further pressure in the lower abdomen.  I had this same pain prior to my diagnosis and a couple of years post-diagnosis, I'd quite forgotten how unpleasant it was.

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By cristiana · Posted

      HI @Kirbyqueen That's great news your insurance will be kicking in soon.  Sorry to see that you have been dealing with this for six months now, but I do hope you have managed to find some relief with some of the suggestions in the meantime. Perhaps come back and let us know what the doctor says. Cristiana

      Trying to read my lab results

      I agree, and hopefully your doctor will contact you soon about the next step, which will likely be an endoscopy to confirm your diagnosis. Do you have celiac disease symptoms?
