can mc cause halitosis
Ive read some digestive issues contribute to bad breath does anyone know if mc can cause this? If so should it resolve amidst going gluten free
That's a new one for me, I've never had anyone tell me my breath was bad, other than my husband when he's feeling frisky when I wake up, and I think that's fairly normal 
, if there is a normal for anything.
I do know someone who had legendary halitosis and certainly wasn't someone who couldn't afford dental care and those of us who worked for him were all a bit mystified by why he didn't deal with it, or even seem to know he had a problem. I ran into him awhile back which was some years after he'd sold his interest in the production company I freelance for, and after my dx/w/MC. and he told me he had Crohn's. So, I don't know......would make sense that if we're not digesting foods properly that we're either farting or have bad breath.
Maybe I just work with polite people who don't want to hurt my feelings.

Resolved MC symptoms successfully w/L-Glutamine, Probiotics and Vitamins, GF since 8/'09. DX w/MC 10/'09.
I think just some diets alone can cause bad breath. I noticed a difference when I started eating low carb.

Well, pre diet changes to manage my MC, I always chewed gum because I was afraid of having "bad breath". I know I always had horrific "morning breath" - not only did my husband tell me so, but it felt simply awful to me as well. I used to jokingly say that a skunk slept in my mouth at night:).
I can honestly say that my morning breath has gotten a lot better after the diet changes. Also, my tongue is no longer covered with a white "carpet":).

"My mouth waters whenever I pass a bakery shop and sniff the aroma of fresh bread, but I am also grateful simply to be alive and sniffing." Dr. Bernstein
what I do to keep my breath fresh besides very good dental care is brushing the plague of my tongue every evening, especially the rear part of the tongue almost in your throat. I once read that this was quite often the cause of bad breath (beside dental care)
