It might be that the probiotics have an (temporary) effect on your gut flora and what goes on down there in some way, regarding your digestion and the immune system. That could be enough to cause such changes to your body.
I saw you mention in another thread that your parent's stance means that you haven't yet been tested for h.pylori. But this is really important to rule out, and you can get very cheap reliable DIY kits to check for this yourself.
Also, if you've been using hydrogen peroxide for a while, this can itself lead to furring of the tongue.
Try cleaning your tongue with a scraper, followed by rinsing with chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash, followed by different types of Zinc containing mouthwash or toothpaste to see which one helps you most. If this doesn't help, then the odour might be finding it's way onto your tongue from elsewhere, like your sinuses (or even your saliva through a bloodborne pathway).
Just some general thoughts and ideas there.

The doctor who won a Nobel prize for proving the link between helicobacter and most cases of stomach ulcers, developed bad breath when he purposely infected himself with it. It disappeared as soon as he eradicated it.
Ever since, there have been stories of people with life-long chronic halitosis being cured after the treatment to eradicate helicobacter. There's even been studies made to try to understand whether it's the treatment itself or the actual eradiation which is responsible.
The manifestations of having helicobacter are probably unique to each person. In some people it may cause no symptoms whatsoever. In others it's even been linked to stomach cancer. For what it takes to find out (about US$10) it's worth finding out.

Don't forget that with this type of blood test, a negative result is a highly reliable way of knowing that you don't have the infection, but if you've ever had helicobacter before or you're trying to find out after treatment whether you still have it, then the antibodies remain for months or even years after. So they are only reliable for testing for negative results. If you get a positive then you need to see a doctor, either for further tests or for treatment.
