Ulcers and Bad Breath
Posted: Sun Sep 17, 2006 7:03 am
Dear. Dr. Finkelstein,
I was wondering if ulcers can contribute the the bad breath disease. I've noticed my bad breath started when I was really stressed out. Also during this time I have receieved very sharp pains in my stomach. The bacteria associated with an Ulcer is Helicobacter Pylori. I think I remember hearing that bad breath could be caused by this bacteria. Is this true? Could an ulcer cause bad breath? Thank you.
