"We report a 58-year-old woman with a gastric diverticulum who was suffering from a socially disabling oral fetor. After a thorough evaluation, a laparoscopic resection of the diverticulum was offered and completed successfully. At follow-up, the oral fetor had disappeared. The patient had no complaints and regarded herself as cured."

Interesting because one of the main causes of diverticulitis is chronic constipation and a lot of people on here say they have had constipation for years.
