Hi, Recently I am suffering from having a bad breath. My dentist told me my teeth are fine and that my bad breath is probably caused by my stomach acid. A chinese doctor/acupuncturist also told me that I have a bad breath, due to my stomach is not working properly. I have noticed I have a bad breath, dry mouth and a white tongue after I have not talked for a while or after enjoyed my meal. Now I am really worried and start to link everything with my stomach, because last year I have had a stomach reflux . Additional information is that I do not smoke any tobaco, have a skinny body and I am only 22.
