what i've always done is... lots of mouth wash and a tongue scraper thingy....helps alot. and use the tounge thing alot. but it also sounds like you have thrush, definitly deal with that first... hope it gets better... '

Amy, what is MDI?

As, for bad breath my daughter has bad breath all the time and i too can't figure out what its from .

I don't think its any of the things being mentioned above as she hasn't realy had any CF issues as yet, besides digestive issues.

So what else could it be? hmmmmm.......

I just found an interesting article on c/f and breath testing<img src="">
<a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2005/10/051019002726.htm
">http://www.sciencedaily.com/re...51019002726.htm
</a>

Here's the general gist of it,


<b>By using a chemical analysis method developed for air-pollution testing, UCI chemists and pediatricians have found that people with cystic fibrosis exhale higher concentrations of sulfur compounds from their lungs than do people who don't have the disease.
These sulfur compounds, called sulfides, are known to be produced by bacteria, and lung disease in cystic fibrosis is accompanied by bacterial infections that cause chronic damage. The researchers found that the worse the pulmonary function in the cystic fibrosis patient, the higher the sulfide concentration in the breath sample, suggesting an increased amount of bacterial growth in the lungs.</b>

I notice a weird taste in my mouth when I have a sinus/lung infection. Amy is right though, When I had thrush I had bad breathe and white on my tongue. Its easy to get rid of though, Just some prescibed mouth wash, or try eating a yogart every morning. The yogart helps restore natural bacteria.</end quote></div>

sounds right <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

I second everyone with the yeast overgrowth thing. Restoring the balance of bacteria in the gut can be tough but it can be done. If you suspect a yeast overgrowth issue, a diet with no sugar, alcohol, yeast breads, or fermented products along with a cleansing program will help create balance again. This often takes 3 months or more (though you feel relief in the first 2 weeks). The sugar in yogurt can add to the problem. Once you have gotten rid of it, then you slowly add back the foods, watch diet, and use probiotics as daily maintenence.

This fungal overgrowth issue is very overlooked in medicine and can trully cause tremendous strain on the body. I think people with CF are at an even greater risk because of the tendency toward acidity, heavy use of antibiotics and steroids, and inflammation in the guts (all things fungi love). We watch our son carefully and give probiotics daily as a preventative. A good web site it <a target=_blank class=ftalternatingbarlinklarge href="http://www.wholeapproach.com/">http://www.wholeapproach.com/</a> I am currently battling this one myself (it's a pain)

I also have some links on www.cfnutrition4life.com for sources and articles on this topic.

Hope this helps...Jody
