概述

Chronic acid reflux, also known asgastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD), is a medical condition. Acid reflux is the backward flow of stomach contents such as undigested food, regurgitated bile, and stomach acids into your esophagus. This can lead to bad breath.

The primary cause of acid reflux in most people is a faulty or relaxed lower esophageal sphincter (LES). The LES is a valve-like muscle (like a thick rubber band) that forms a barrier between your esophagus and your stomach. When the LES works appropriately, it opens when you swallow to let food enter the stomach, and then it closes tightly. A faulty LES remains open, allowing acids to flow back into your throat.

The regurgitation of stomach contents can cause heartburn and a bitter or sour taste in your mouth. What’s more, you’re also likely to experience bad breath as a result of your symptoms.Bad breath不仅可以通过管理您的GERD来控制，而且可以通过制作一些更改来控制。

生活方式的变化可以帮助防止反流，这可以帮助您的呼吸留下新鲜。

首先，如果您目前是吸烟者，您应该戒烟。吸烟使自己呼吸不良。此外，尼古丁产品会让您的LES放松，让酸反流入您的食道。吸烟也会增加你口腔，咽喉，食管，胃，胰腺，肝脏和结肠癌的风险。

Other adjustments to counter GERD symptoms include:

  • 在吃完之后，等待至少2到3个小时躺下
  • putting a six-inch board or wedge pillow under the head of your bed to raise your torso and reduce pressure on your LES
  • eating smaller meals throughout the day rather than three large meals
  • 到达并保持健康的体重，有助于减少LES的压力
  • using chewing gum to freshen breath and decrease reflux

修改您的食物如何以及您的食物可以帮助缓解壮观的症状和口臭。许多食物可以通过在胃中放松或增加酸性来加重酸回流。有些人也会造成不良呼吸。

你可能想要限制或避免这些foods:

  • alcohol
  • coffee and teas that contain caffeine
  • onions
  • 大蒜
  • citrus fruits and juices
  • tomato products
  • peppermint
  • spicy foods
  • chocolate
  • fried or fatty foods

吃富含纤维的食物来对抗口臭。光纤有助于消化顺畅运行，以便不太可能发生回流和障碍物。

Fibrous foods also keep you feeling full longer and may help you maintain your weight. GERD has been linked to being overweight, so talk to your doctor about losing weight to relieve acid reflux and heartburn. Losing excess weight also decreases your risk of a hiatal hernia, which can also increase GERD symptoms.

全天喝大量的水来刷新你的呼吸。水比其他饮料不太可能让你的胃扰乱或削弱你的腰。它还有助于洗掉可能导致口臭的细菌。一定要选择仍然水而不是闪闪发光，因为碳酸化可以增加一些人的胃灼热症状。

Several types of over-the-counter and prescription-strength medications can treat GERD, including:

Some chewable antacids include breath-freshening ingredients and will relieve both symptoms at once.

其他GERD药物和药物可以导致口干。口干当你的唾液腺没有产生足够的唾液时发生。这可能是不舒服的，它也可能导致呼吸不好。向您的医生询问干口的解决方案以及所有您服用的所有药物的潜在副作用。

Bad breath is a symptom associated with GERD. In many cases, it’s easily remedied. Talk to your doctor about lifestyle changes and medications that can minimize your acid reflux and the resulting bad breath.
