I hope someone can help. My little sister alerted me to the fact that she can detect ketones in my beath and said its not very pleasant- really paranoid now what people will think at work, is there anything I can do, I know listorine strips have been advised are they good enough?? I drank a couple of strong cups of coffee today hoping that would mask it. I would hate to think when Im talking to someone I have bad breath!!! My pharamist advised drinking more water- I dont think I could physically drink any more lol. So paranoid now any help please???? How does anyone else combat this.

Listerine strips or mouth wash really works hun and yeah more water helps too other than that talk with your hand infront of your mouth and don't kiss anyone lol

You could put the mouthwash in a little squirty bottle and squirt when ness...and its a bit more transportable than swigging from a bottle xxx
