Guest guest Posted December 7, 2003 Report Share Posted December 7, 2003 I can't remember who posted and can't find it now, but someone posted about bad breath the other day and I just came across this in the article " Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and its Connection to ADD/ADHD " on Dr. Goldberg's website. I think that some of my kids had this breath... I asked their Dr. about it at the time... I couldn't think how to describe it other than " fermented " . Here's the link to the full article... http://www.neuroimmunedr.com/Articles/CFS_-_CFIDS/Chronic_Fatigue/chronic_fa tigue.html snip>> DOES CANDIDA PLAY A ROLE? The relationship between CFS/CFIDS and Candida, or other yeast, is not yet understood in the medical community. There is no standardized test to date for verifying or confirming the notion of a yeast overgrowth and its potential adverse side-effects. As with CFIDS itself, the general medical approach to this area has been a reluctance to consider any possible explanations that cannot be measured. While it has yet to be proven, it seems none-the-less logical to this author that the presence of Candida or other opportunistic organisms in CFIDS patients, while not likely the cause, may certainly contribute to the dysfunction experienced by the patient. Yeast-like breath or a distinct sour milk breath smell may be a clue in a child or adult that a yeast over-growth has occurred. While it has been correctly argued that yeast is abnormal G I pathogen in most humans, this author strongly suspects that Candida/yeast may take the form of a pathogenic overgrowth in a patient who is in an immune dysrulatory state, specifically in the case of CFIDS. <<snip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 There can be a lot of causes - have you ever noticed it improve after an antibiotic round?  Or worsen? Yeasty breath smelled sweet to me, but also smelled a little like sour milk ... does that describe it? ________________________________ From: Denton <b67denton@...> < > Sent: Tue, July 13, 2010 9:19:45 AM Subject: Bad Breath  I know bad breath can be due to yeast..
