I have been to many doctors and dentists trying to get a diagnosis for BO (underarm and breath), but all are saying I am healthy. Maybe I have yeast overgrowth/candida..I had recurring yeast vaginal infection since I was a teen and it seemed it is always present. How much Diflucan should I ask my doctor to prescribe? I mentioned the subject to him before but he said I don't have candida, but there was not real physical check like a blood test for candida or saliva test. Other blood test revealed that I was lacking potassium but I didn't take all the pills. I tried Acidophilus but I think the odar was getting worst, so I stopped. So, now I am planning to ask to be prescribed three months dose of Diflucan. Should I request more or less and will this help my condition?
Will taking Diflucan eliminate BO. I planned to ask my doctor to prescribe it?

A course of Diflucan will not help BO or bad breath.

The first thing I would try is to change your diet. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables will make you smell sweet. Try adding virgin coconut oil to your diet and green smoothies. I can notice a change in the smell of my BO if I eat a fast food burger. If you suspect that you have candida, you should stop eating all forms of sugar and avoid even natural sweetners like honey. I think a real fungal infection needs to be addressed with medication. Probiotics seem to just coat the surface of the skin and the fungus can grow underneath. Difulcan is used to treat candida albicans,which is the common cause of a vaginal yeast infection. Difulcan is not helpful for all forms of fungal infections.
