Q. When I met the woman I married, she had bad breath, obviously from deep inside. I ignored it as I could think of no solution.
After 15 years of marriage I realized it was worse after she ate ice cream. Lactaid solved the problem. The bad breath was her only symptom.
A. You are now the second person to report that the inability to digest milk sugar (lactose intolerance) resulted in bad breath. Although we could find no scientific evidence to confirm this observation, using a lactase enzyme pill (Lactaid) seems like a straightforward solution.

Wowww, thank you. I didn't make the conexion.
If she does not have any other symptoms related to the inability to digest dairy, it would be worth it to examine whether the problem is actually tonsil stones. They smell bad and are often missed as the source of bad breath. Taking a look with a flashlight will help to ascertain if this is the problem.
As a retired registered nurse, I feel compelled to reply to the gentleman (in his 80's) who is taking several medications each day. He is described as being quite fatigued and quite listless. Some of this goes with being older, however, HOW and WHEN he takes all of these medications is of utmost importance. It should be discussed with his physician for sure. Perhaps he cannot adjust to some of them. Again, up for discussion with his doctor. They definitely should not all be taken at the same time. Please make sure your physician is aware of how he is. Just spacing them out throughout the day might be the answer. RP
Ever since my wife had her gallbladder removed, she has to take digestives to keep from developing bad breath, usually if it is a milk containing meal or drink.
When she has her morning coffee she has to have creamer or she can't drink it. If she takes her digestive and drinks her coffee within about 20 minutes she'll be fine. If she sips her coffee for longer than that, she will develop bad breath even if it is a nondairy creamer.
Also, If she goes too long without food, she will develop bad breath.
If she eats every 3 to 4 hours she is usually fine, whether it is a milk containing meal or not.
So; she has to watch her consumption of milk products (making sure to take the digestives) and; she has to be mindful of eating at the appropriate times.
We have found that if she goes too long without food and the breath turns, it can take a day or two of following the rules for things to straighten out.
One other thing we found she was susceptible to many years ago. When ever she drinks water that came from a reverse osmosis tap, it would cause her migraines toward the back of her head. Once she got one of these migraines no type of anti-inflammatory or pain medication of any type would even touch the pain. When we lived in California, many of the restaurants had reverse osmosis water brought to the table and she would wind up with a migraine. We started her on Arrowhead water whenever we were out and Britta filter water when at home. She isn't plagued by migraines anymore.
Hope this helps someone.
