I think dd has ketosis...

[francagoestohollywood]

really bad "sweet" breath, especially whn she wakes up.
Does anyone have some good tips? thanks

What makes you think that? Is she eating enough? Does she have any illnesses, does she take medication?

Have you checked her urine?

Ketosis used to be a very popular condition in Italy in the Seventies .
No, she's fine, a bit of a cough, but really bad breath. I was thinking if there's some food I should avoid...
no haven't checked her urine.

my ds has similar....it gets worse when he is a bit run down...or having a growth spurt. doc saysnot to worry and feed his growth spurts. not a lot can be done when he's run down though.

thanks

Franca,

I don't want to worry you, but that pear drop/acetone smell on the breath you get with ketosis can be a sign of diabetes (my ds was diagnosed at 5). It might be worth asking your GP for a urine test to rule it out.

Good luck!

thanks tangarine, will def do
