The article from MSN, published on January 18, 2025, discusses the link between persistent bad breath and gut health. Dr. Smith, a gastroenterologist, explains that while many people use mouthwash to combat bad breath, the root cause might actually be related to digestive issues. He highlights that conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), where stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, can lead to halitosis. Additionally, poor gut health can result in the production of volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) by bacteria in the gut, which are then exhaled, causing bad breath. Dr. Smith suggests that addressing gut health through diet, probiotics, and possibly medical treatment could be more effective than just using mouthwash. He also recommends seeing a doctor for a thorough diagnosis if bad breath persists despite oral hygiene efforts.
