Bad Breath?

I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago after several years of stomach problems which became severe in the last year. Ever since the diagnosis I've been careful about avoiding gluten, but for a few weeks my husband has been complaining that my breath smells like pepperoni- a food I can't stand and haven't touched in many years. I am meticulous about oral hygiene and always make sure to floss, brush, and rinse and gargle with Listerine. His last complaint came immediately after an especially rigorous gargle. I plan to see a dentist to rule out tooth decay, but I suspect the stomach is the culprit. Any info on this? It's horribly embarrassing!

Lactose intolerance is typical in people with celiac disease, starting out. Lactose intolerance can affect the breath. You might want to try cutting out dairy products until your gluten free diet is under control and your intestines are healed. I drink almond milk and eat goat cheese :)

yep, if it's not in your teeth, it's in your digestive tract somewhere. Did you have an endoscopy? Did they notice any inflammation or erosion?

My breath (and body odor) is directly related to what I eat. Cheese and sugar both make it awful. It's not like pepperoni, though.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
