    hi zaddy

    you bad breath may not be linked to your hiatus hernia check with your gp you may have helicobactor pylori bug in your stomach which causes bad breath a course of medication clears it up and cures the bad breath

      I got the helicobacter pylori test done but it came as negative. My GP doesn't have any solution to it.. What do I do? When my endoscopy was done, the byopies taken for the test were also negative.

      Anything I eat I feel that the smell comes. Any other possibility? Should I get a breath test done?

    Hi, it could be Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth which is what I have. I also have hiatus hernia. You can have a hydrogen breath test to test whether you have SIBO. 

    Good Luck.
