Yes its possible, especially if you eat potent foods such as onions or garlic, which causes odor to actually come from your stomach and give you bad breath, there are some mints that are meant to be swallowed for that purpose, however, or try gargling.

It certainly could. It could also mean they're sick in some way or another. Sometimes if a tooth or gum are infected, it will cause bad breath, a sinus infection can cause bad breath, tonsillitis can cause bad breath, strep throat, etc etc etc....
If this is a friend of yours, ask them if they've been feeling all right. If it's you, ask your doctor to check you for the stuff I mentioned. If it's someone you are around, but aren't friends with, you might say,
I'm concerned about you and wonder if you might be getting sick, 'cause I've noticed your breath is just like mine when I get really sick. Just wanted to let you know.
Good Luck

People who eat lots of red meat often have bad breath because of the time it takes for your digestion system to break it down. It basically starts to putrefy in your stomach.
Apparently over 80% of bad breath is caused by the bacteria on your tongue...give us a kiss ladies...

Anything that iritates the stomach can cause an acid reaction which can result in bad breath. People who have some medical conditions suffer this to some degree.
There are four more usual causes:
Gum disease.
The condition of the mouth. Oral hygene is important here.
Nasal and sinus infections.
You are what you eat. We all know garlic but diets heavy in dairy food and many vegetables can have that effect.

Definitely, So-called acid peptic diseases cause bad breathing. If you have no problem in your mouth, you'd better to visit a doctor and share with him/her your problem. Your doctor might tell you about the possibility of reflux disorders.You can search the word Halitosis(bad breathing) to find more info over the net. I recommend this webpage from wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halitosis

People have bad breath because of bacteria colonizing on the tongue, which is normal. Those bacteria produce sulfa containing compounds which smell bad. Best bet is to get a tongue scraper or brush your tongue.

It could be because that person has a cold or sinus infection.
If it's a child who doesn't have a cold, then there's a great possibility that the child has something stuck up his/her nose.
