Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

As a TMAU sufferer who can't reduce my bb that much even with the strictest diet and megadoses of B2, I think my body has a lot of issues. Though I have 'acquired TMAU' (type 2) supposedly, it seems my FMO3 enzyme can't properly oxidize the TMA. Even when I reduced my TMA from 30+ to 12 (above 10 is considered TMAU positive result in UK), my odour was the same.

The only thing that used to help a bit was GSE.
Since I had vaginal candida glabrata (the more resistant strain) diagnosed a few years back, I guess candida will always be a problem for me. This is why I have tried Lufenuron after reading people's success stories with it.

I got no strong reactions at all to the Lufenuron but my bowel movements became a bit different - definitely smellier after the first dose.
No change in tongue coating or odour. My tongue is still white and quite gunky - as usual.

I am still taking oregano oil (I started this on day 4, after taking the Lufenuron) as well as my usual digestive enzymes and probiotics. I usually take Grapefruit Seed Extract at least 3 days a week as well.

I have been doing a non-gluten diet with potatoes, rice, salad and pulses for protein when needed. I never eat sugar and I have minimised fruit as well. I know a proper candida diet should not have rice or potatoes but i can't do raw/very restricted diets anymore, since being diagnosed with TMAU and trying to reduce my choline. I feel very weak/ill straight away if I lack fat, carbohydrate or any nutrient.

It has been 10 days since I took the Lufenuron. It was definitely safe to take it so it's worth a try if you are considering taking it. Quite cheap too and it came quickly by post to the UK.

I will update this thread if anything else happens in the next 20 days. It would be miraculous if anything did but....
I know the positive effects of Lufenuron can take a while to manifest so I'm trying to keep positive as this helps any treatment we do

Are you a body odor sufferer as well?

Good luck with the Lufenuron Malory.
What does your tongue odour smell like? Does it have a bacterial smell like most of us describe, such as tonsil stone odour/flossing toothy odour? Or is it more of a chemical odour?

If I had to best describe the very strong odour I used to get on my tongue (and still slightly do when I wake up in the morning) it's like a creosote/tarmac/asphalt/ type odour. I could put my face in a corner of a neutral smelling room and breathe out slowly and then breathe in sharply, and smell this very distinctive odour.
