UC is in the colon, but I don't think it would cause bad breath unless you have a blockage that pushes stuff up into the stomach from the small intestine.
If you eat a lot of garlic or spices, that can attribute to bad breath.
Are you eating a lot of protein?
If your oral health is complete including brushing/scraping tongue and flossing, if you don't have tonsil issues or tonsiliths (tonsil stones), if you don't have reflux, if you don't have dry mouth syndrome and eat and hydrate regularly....it could be an imbalance of bacteria in your mouth.
You mention you need to see a specialist, do bring that issue up with him/her. The type of breath, whether it be sweet, sour, normal, acidic, ammonia, feces...etc...it could be determined what's going on.
Hope you find the answers.
