Ketosis: bad breath

I wondered if anyone else has experienced this and has a solution. I’ve completed 3 weeks of Fast800. Using ketostix I’m at +++ and the loss has been great. The downside is that I’m brushing my teeth 5 times a day. I’ve got the most awful taste in my mouth and my breath is not fresh at all.

Reluctant to eat chewing gum or similar, because of the sweeteners. Has anyone else experienced this or found a solution? Thanks

Thought I’d come back to update in case anyone has the same in future. Apparently it’s a side effect of ketosis that will subside. I asked DH what he thought and he said it isn’t bad breath, just different. I still don’t like the taste in my mouth, so I’ve blitzed oral hygiene with stuff from amazon (disclosing tablets, special mouthwash, different floss, tongue scraper), which has helped 😊
