Bad Breath Halitosis Forum

Has anyone else got other symptoms that could be related to halitosis?

I've been reading alot on candida overgrowth recently and after reading about all the symptoms its got me thinking about all my other problems that could possibly be connected. I've tried to treat these things individualy to no avail but it's never occurred to me they could be of the same problem.

Chronic Halitosis (white tongue)
Itchy flaky scalp
Cracked toenails
Jock itch,
athletes foot, although haven't had this in a year or two
Penis odour
Anxiety
Weight gain (2 stone)
Depersonalization(brain fog)
Strange irregular heart beat type feeling especially when im In bed
Fatigue

I feel like I have some sort of fungal infection of my whole body?!

I was recently put on antibiotics after having a tooth removed, my halitosis, penis odour, itchy scalp and cracked toenails on one foot where gone for the whole week I was on the antibiotics but now they have returned.

Has anyone with candida overgrowth had or in a similar situation?

You need to go to a real doctor about this and describe all your symptoms.

Candida, if it's something to really be concerned about, is surrounded by so much bullshit remedies you'll never figure it out.

How does one get candida overgrowth?

.....

if it is candida, i say try going to a naturopath

Just so you know, penis odor is normal. Same for vagina odor, have you ever heard people joke saying vaginas smell like fish?

Anyway my symptoms are

Fecal breath
Minor Fecal BO
Acid Reflux
Burping
Farting
Tingling in throat and esophagus
Frequent pooping

i love my candida to death
she is the only one sticking with me for so long

Hey guys! I am a woman - vaginal odor that smells like fish is not normal. That is an infection called Bacterial Vaginosis (google that one). Stay away from that. A healthy vagina does have a scent, just as a penis might, but it is not offensive or unpleasant. Maybe a slightly musty odor, but mild. A yeast infection is different than the infection described above and has different symptoms. It does not have a fishy odor, but rather alot of discomfort. It is not treated with antibiotics, but antifungals (such as diflucan). I have read that a bodywide yeast infection would need heavy treatment with diflucan - for instance 14 tablets. A vaginal infection would require 2 of these tablets over the course of maybe a week, max. Bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics. For many women, antibiotics trigger a yeast infection almost immediately as they kill the good bacteria and throw off the balance. Hence the probiotics, yogurt etc. Just an FYI. If we have bacterial imbalances, fungal or the like, it must have to do with incorrect PH levels in the body and not enough of the "good" bacteria to keep things in check. It's got to be the same with the mouth IMO.

@Daniel Pine - I have the same reflux symptoms. Tingles (mine feel like tiny bubbles) in the throat. Digestive problems too. I have just started weaning myself off of Prilosec because I thinks this keeps food undigested and rotting in the stomach, probably gives off gasses, lord knows! I know your frustration.

antibiotics kill all the bacteria in your gut so i would say you have a problem there go an see a gi specialist and the should be able to help you.

when you heal the gut properly it will have a whole cascade of health benefits so id try that first
