I have not experienced it but I wonder if you have a yeast overgrowth
problem in your intestines? Paula H.

Subject: [P-F] Lots of fruit and bad breath
Hello All,
Has anyone else experienced bad breath when they increase their fruit
intake? I have always eaten a large amount of daily fruit and veg but when I
went onto a paleo diet I also increased my intake of both. My partner was
reporting to me that I had quite bad breath in the morning and at times
throughout the day (not really something a gal likes to hear but I'd rather
know than not know). I could sense a smell that was like acetone.
While on an unrelated visit I asked my GP (he specialises in holisitc and
nutritional medicine) about this and he suggested that the fruit might be
causing the bad breath and he mentioned the word fermentation. I have
decreased the amount of fruit to one piece a day and the problem seems to
have resolved (confirmed by my partner - who is relieved!). Has anyone else
experienced or heard of this?
Cheers e
