Those of you who practise quite strict fasts, how do you manage bad breath during fasting periods? Are sugar free mints like Eclipse appropriate? Would they be considered to break a fast? It’s not feasible to brush my teeth every couple of hours but then even the thought that toothpaste probably has artificial sweeteners too… what do the hardcore fasters do to combat bad breath? TIA.
I find the bad breath comes mostly from the stomach, so I try offsetting it a bit by brushing my teeth.
It doesn’t quite work as I’d wish it too, so I avoid coming close to people (except my wife) as much as I can.
