GERD Causing bad breath

[Despo]

I have a strange problem with GERD. It gives me bad breath. Almost all the time. I don't have a weight problem (I'm 5'10", 170 lbs). Don't smoke, drink occasionally. I have had fundoplication too.
However, regardless of how less I eat, the slightest pressure causes reflux with no heartburn. However, I get a real bad breath. Once it starts, it won't go away for the rest of the day. After thinking that it was my sinus, for lots of years, I've finally discovered it was my GERD and had fundoplication about 5 years ago.But doesn't seem to be helping my breath.
Most times, it's at work. My sitting posture, if even slightly different from an upright position, causes immediate reflux. Even crossing my legs causes the reflux!  
Any ideas on this? Even if it's just eliminating the bad breath, that would help me tremendously.

hi there, i know what you mean i go through the same **** all the time, at my work, and get nastly looks.....etc. i haven't solved my problem but have you checked if you have h. pylori bacteria, because that might be whats causing your gerd.

Hi...since u said it seems it comes with ur posture and that causes the reflux...u may want to try to correct ur posture to avoid the reflux which in turn should help u avoid the bad breath.

Look for a book  called Feldenkrais method.......it helps u work on posture ....my NL told me about it.


Good luck
