Here's something I've always had, and I've always wondered if other people had ever experienced it.

Sometimes, when I'm ill, I sometimes burp and I can smell my own breath - and it absolutely stinks. Seriously, I brush my teeth and use mouthwash and all that, but when I'm ill and I burp, I smell my own breath and a few seconds later I puke.

Its so bad I sometimes don't allow it to come out my mouth. I keep it floating around in my already bloated stomach, and hope it comes out the other end because then I can't smell it.

Anyone ever experienced it?

What do you expect your digested food to smell like?
 
I know that with diabetes peoples breath sometime smells like nail polish remover. It might also be because coughing dries out your throat. Dry airway leads to bad breath.
 
The inside of your body is a waste treatment and energy plant.

Don't expect sunshine and rainbows.
 
Now would be a good time to post a ShoopDaWoop pic with the guy spewing rainbows.
 
Well you wouldn't expect vomit to smell like roses.
 
Stomach

Some people believe - and some businesses through advertising have attempted to foster that belief - that bad breath comes from the stomach rather than from the mouth.

In fact, most researchers consider the stomach as a very uncommon source of bad breath (except in belching). The esophagus is a closed and collapsed tube, and continuous flow (as opposed to a simple burp) of gas or putrid substances from the stomach indicates a health problem - such as reflux serious enough to be bringing up stomach contents or a fistula between the stomach and the esophagus - which will demonstrate more serious manifestations than just foul odor.[2]

Hmmm.

Pray to god you don't have a fistula.


Systemic diseases

There are a few systemic (non-oral) medical conditions which may cause foul breath odor, but these are extremely infrequent in the general population. Such conditions are: [11][12]

1. Fetor hepaticus: an example of a rare type of bad breath caused by chronic liver failure.
2. Lower respiratory tract infections (Bronchial and lung infections).
3. Renal infections and renal failure.
4. Carcinoma.
5. Trimethylaminuria ("fish odor syndrome").
6. Diabetes mellitus.
7. Metabolic dysfunction.[13]

Oops... I left out an important part. LOL. Don't want to upset the hypochondriacs like myself.

Individuals Afflicted by the above conditions often show additional, more diagnostically conclusive symptoms than bad breath. People troubled by bad breath should not conclude that they suffer from these conditions or diseases.
