Will Treating Acid Reflux Cure Your Bad Breath?

The chances are that if you suffer from acid reflux, you may also be aware that your breath isn't quite as fresh as those non-GERD sufferers around you. The fact is that when acid refluxes into your esophagus, that horrible sensation and taste is also accompanied by a not-so-pleasant smell. If you're simply sitting at home alone watching television, it's uncomfortable, but your breath doesn't really bother anyone but you. However, if there's anyone around you, the chances are that they'll soon be taking a step back, scrunching their noses, or handing you a mint.
