I also have bad breath. Thank you so much for these suggestions. My dental health is fine. I was able to control gum disease, so my bad breath is not coming from that. I do have acid reflux and have been on medication for a while. It is so embarrasing to even ask the doctor. I will make an appoinment with an thoat doctores to see if it is coming from there. Once again, thanks. I felt like I was alone out there.

I used to suffer from bad breath and I tracked it down to food particles being trapped inbetween my teeth, that brushing twice a day wasn't removing  .... I would highly recommend that if you are not doing so already to start flossing between your teeth at least once a day, and especially before you go to bed.

There are lots of reasons for bad breath. One reason is residual sinus infection. Three times a day, flush your sinus cavities with saline spray. Sometimes anti-biotics are requires and the protocol requires six weeks, rather than ten days of treatment. But such treatment is beyond the scope of a post. You need an M.D.'s involvement.  Try the saline first. Sometimes a specialist will flush the sinus cavities with high pressure water. Also get a soft toothbrush and brush the back of your tongue.
