Bad breath isn’t a common side effect, but it can happen as your body adjusts to a new way of eating. When you make positive dietary changes, like increasing your intake of fibre and fresh produce or removing processed foods it can temporarily shift your gut microbiome. For some, this may reflect in their breath.
The good news? It’s usually short-lived. As your body balances out and settles into detox mode, your breath should return to normal.
