chubbermommy Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 So I noticed that DS' breath last night had a weird fermented smell. Kind of like he had a couple beers. I smelled him this morning and it is not so bad. Smelled his skin too but he smells normal ("mommy!! what are you doing?!?!") . I started thinking about yeast overgrowth; he's been on abx for 3 weeks and does take 50 billion units of probiotics. He's also on Sacc. B., which is a yeast, so I'm wondering if I should cut back on the Sacc.B for a bit. He takes his last abx around dinner, and his probiotics right before bed (as per the ND's advice). He hasn't had any tummy issues. Has this happened to anyone else? What should I do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sf_mom Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 It could be yeast and it could be intestinal parasites. I would do a comprehensive stool if you haven't already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
