Sweetcorn Smell In Breath. Had Small Intestine Blocks, Got Cleared. Reason? How To Get Rid Of This?
My husband has had an odd sweet corn smell to his breath for about a month. He had two small intestine blockages during that time and had to go to the ER both times. The breath smell does not go away. The blockages cleared themselves up within a week while he was in the hospital. I would not call it a fruity smell, but more like sweet creamed corn. What could this possibly mean? And how can he get rid of it?
