Your Breath: More Than Just a Way to Annoy People — What It Might Be Telling You About Your Health!

Acid Reflux

When your stomach acid decides to take a detour and flow backward into your esophagus (the tube connecting your throat to your stomach), it's like your body’s version of a traffic jam. Not only does this cause that lovely sour breath, but it can also bring up bits of food or liquid into your mouth—yum! The acid can also wreak havoc on your throat and mouth, turning them into a VIP lounge for smelly bacteria. So, if your breath is starting to feel more like a stomach's "second chance," it might be time to keep an eye on that acid reflux!
