LOL it is terrible, and althought unpleasent, it is a good thing if you want to be losing those lbs. I would say if you have that metalic taste then you have the breath that goes with it. The only thing you can do is either be up front about it and ask him if you stink....or if you're not that brave then chew sugar free gum, chew fresh mint leaves, or brush your teeth more often.
It's hateful and I haven't snogged my dh for over a year because of it!!

I had the same problem and the bf was telling me how bad the breath was.... someone on here recommended Chlorphyll tablets. I tried them for a while but had a bad side effect for me (you don't want to know the details, it was just bad).

Drink lots of water to help flush out the excess, this might help.

Ah the good ol bad breath syndrome. *sigh* I am lucky as my DH puts up with it and never says anything about it but my friend at work always has something to say about it so I guess it hasn't gone away yet :mad: . Oh well, I guess people can admire me from afar :lol:

I think the mint leaves are a good idea. What does DH stand for? I suppose its something like us saying SI for significant other. Snogging is a new word for me as well. LOL!
