bad breath and constipation

That bad breath and the white you can't get off sounds like thrush. I've had it several times due to my gi problems. Ask for a yeast pill instead of the crap they make you swallow, that will make you more miserable! You should probably see a gastroenterologist and they can look at your stomach and throat. I also have chronic constipation and I take miralax around 3x a day. Keep drinking lots of warm liquids and soups, buy a humidifier and leave by your bed at night. Fats and fiber always help me avocados, grapes, bananas, steel cut oats. Try relaxing your pelvic floor by lying down and putting a hot pad over your lower stomach for 30 min a day. Also kegel exercises. Stool softeners pill form without the stimulant should soften stool without cramping. I hope something helps!

thank you for your responses, i really appreciate it. the miralax i’ve been taking has helped with bowel movements which is great, but my bad breath isn’t changing. in response to the white tongue i mentioned which is more light greyish tbh (after seeing some photos of people with severe white coatings), i’ve noticed i also semi frequently grow some yellow (which had a different smell/taste) that i can actually get off by brushing? it’s not always, but i can’t pinpoint the pattern or food that causes it. idk if you recognize this as “thrush” or something else? i don’t have other symptoms of a yeast infection idk.
also i’m thinking of taking vitamin b-12 bc i heard a deficiency might cause bad breath.
