· Medical issues- Gastroesophageal

Throat infection. It could also be a sign
of some liver and kidney diseases.
· Crash
diets: Fasting and
low-carbohydrate eating programs can produce halitosis;
· Drugs: certain medications can reduce saliva
and, therefore, increase odors.
Other drugs can produce odors as they breakdown
and release chemicals in the breath. Examples include nitrates used to
treat angina,
some chemotherapy chemicals
and some tranquilizers, such as phenothiazines. Individuals who take vitamin supplements
in large doses can also be prone to bad breath
· Ketoacidosis: when the insulin levels
of a person with diabetes are
very low, their bodies can no longer use sugar and begin to use fat stores
instead. When fat is broken down, ketones are produced and build up. Ketones
can be poisonous when found in large numbers and produce a distinctive and
unpleasant breath odor. Ketoacidosis is a serious and potentially
life-threatening condition
· Bowel
obstruction: breath can smell
like feces if there has been a prolonged period of vomiting, especially if a
bowel obstruction is present
