Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

I ate some strongly flavored Korean food tonight(Kimchi stew) and had a nap afterwards. Boy was my breath stinky when I woke up. Usually when I cup my hand in front of my mouth and blow I smell nothing(but I know I have bb, just the kind I've become adapted to so I can't smell). Tonight I got a whiff of the "eating the wrong food for your breath" smell and as horrible as it was at least I knew what kind of smell I was dealing with(sure it was from the onions and garlic in the dish I ate). Most of the time, I have no idea how bad my bb is or even if it varies throughout the day. Sounds bad but I want to smell my own bb! Then I know when I really should be avoiding people!

Kimchi is good though. I'll take the BB from that! The health and digestive benefits outweigh the garlic breath! Also did you know it has some of the same bacterial cultures as yogurt?
