Why does my breath smell like poop?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The common causes for your breath to smell like feces are sinus and respiratory infections (such as bronchitis, viral colds, strep throat), poor oral hygiene (infrequent cleaning, chronic dry mouth, oral infections, smoking or chewing tobacco), Gastroesophageal reflux disease, abscessed tooth, prolonged vomiting (> 24 hours) and bowel obstruction.

View allIve been experiencing this pain that gets worse after eating, and its been going on for three years now. I had an abdominal ultrasound, but nothing unusual came up. Some days I dont feel any pain at all. Over the past three years, I've lost about 12 kg, but I've also started walking more, so maybe that's why. Im now 45 kg and I'm 5 feet 3 inches tall. Should I be worried about this weight loss, or does it seem like it's just from being more active? Any idea what could be causing the pain?
You may be experiencing symptoms of gastritis, which is inflammation of the stomach lining. This can cause pain that worsens after eating. Since nothing was found on the abdominal ultrasound, other possible causes could be considered such as acid reflux or peptic ulcer disease. Some common medicines available for gastritis include Pantocid, Omez, and Rabicip. These medications help reduce stomach acid production and provide relief from symptoms. It is important to consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been dealing with loose motions for a while now. I started taking Eldoper for around 10 days, and it seemed to help, but now that I've stopped the medicine, the loose motions are back, and my stomach is making these weird noises too. What could be going on here?
The loose motion and stomach noise after taking Eldoper (likely an antibiotic) for 10 days, and the persistence of symptoms after stopping the medication, suggest antibiotic-associated diarrhea or a potential gut microbiome imbalance; consider consulting your doctor about probiotics, dietary changes, or further evaluation to rule out underlying conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO).

My friend was diagnosed with Budd-Chiari syndrome back in 2004 and has been managing it since. Now she's developed gall bladder stones around 6mm, but surgery isn't an option because of her liver complications. What other treatments could help in this situation?
In Budd-Chiari with gallstones, surgery is risky; medications to reduce cholesterol and bile salts like ursodiol may help—monitor with liver team.
