I'm a male, aged 27, non-smoker, non-drinker, who suffers from both chronic breath and body odor, and have for pretty much my entire adult life.
Daily brushing, flossing & tongue cleaning do not prevent the return of an odorous white (bacteria?) on my tongue. Hydrating myself with water is no cure. No typical oral hygiene products seem to work either. These are some products I've tried that have NOT cured my white tongue:
I am assuming that the recurring white odorous substance on my tongue is a living bacteria, so I'm wondering if maybe a probiotic or antibiotic can possibly kill and eliminate the bacteria from my system for good. Please share any ideas, insights or recommendations you have in this regard.
As far as body odor, when my arm pits perspire, they give off an odor. This usually occurs no matter what type or deodorant or antiperspirant I use, and neither a vegetarian nor meat diet seem to make any difference. I've pretty much tried all retail brands of deodorant and antiperspirants. Sometimes if I switch up antiperspirants, I will not have BO for that day, but I will likely have BO the next day no matter which antiperspirant I use.
I'm hoping that joining this community will allow me to find permanent solutions to my breath and body odor problems, which are preventing me from succeeding in professional and social areas of my life. I'm also happy to share my experiences with others to assist them in finding their solutions.
Any and all replies, insights, ideas or suggestions from any and everyone who reads this will be much appreciated. Eliminating my breath odor is my first priority.
