low carbing can put your body intoa state of ketosis... i forget if this means your body is breaking down ketones or producing ketones! i know that ketones will show up in your urine and that is they people on atkins use (or used to use?) those ketone strips to check thge "progress" or their diet...

the byproducts of these ketones also are excreted in the breath, which can lead to a bad taste in the mouth. ask someone you trust if your breath smells like acetone - nail polish remover - or fruity, alcoholic... and if so, that's ketosis.

if that ain't it, maybe it's dehydration. i think you have to drink lots of water if you seriously low-carb.
