I'm really struggling with this whole breath situation that's been going on for about two years. It smells like feces and it just seems like it gets worse when I drink coffee, eat sweets, or even just bread. Lately, it doesnt matter what I eat, the smell's there. Im 22 and in college, so avoiding people isn't really an option, and it's super embarrassing. Ive done a ton of research and tried brushing like five times a day, flossing, and even scraping my tongue, but nothing's working. This past week, it got even worse, and chewing gum just doesnt hide it anymore. I'm worried I might drive people away with my breath! Ive got this bad bitter taste in my mouth, and even drinking lots of water isnt helping. I know I have post-nasal drip, GERD, and an aching root canal molar that was redone but still hurts. Are any of these causing my breath issue? How can I fix this? It's really getting me down.

I was cooking and noticed some tiny plastic bits in the food, which I removed right away. Now I'm a bit worriedwhat if I swallowed some by accident? Could something like that be harmful, even if it's a really tiny amount?

It's natural to worry, but if the plastic bits were very small and you removed most of them, there's likely no need for concern. Tiny, negligible amounts of plastic typically pass through the digestive system without causing harm. If you feel any discomfort or symptoms, consult a doctor for reassurance.

I've just been told I have grade 2 fatty liver NASH, and I'm trying to wrap my head around what kind of diet I should follow. Since I eat a lot of rice, I'm really curious about which type would be best for me. Could you help me figure this out?

For grade 2 fatty liver NASH, it is important to follow a healthy diet to manage the condition. You should focus on consuming a diet that is low in saturated fats, refined sugars, and processed foods. Instead, opt for a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. In terms of rice, it is recommended to choose whole grains such as brown rice or wild rice over white rice. Brown rice is a good option as it is high in fiber and nutrients, which can be beneficial for your liver health. You can include brown rice in your diet in moderation and pair it with lean proteins and plenty of vegetables for a well-balanced meal. Additionally, it is important to monitor your portion sizes and avoid overeating, even if it is a healthier option like brown rice. Regular exercise and staying hydrated are also important factors in managing fatty liver NASH.
