Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 My son on occasion has fruity-smelling breath, even though he's consumed no fruit. He's usually hyper at these times. Has anyone else had this experience? His glucose levels on tests are fine, although usually on the high side of normal. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 We recently finished 20 days of antibiotics followed by Valtrex the last two weeks, so yeast is a good bet. I did mention to Dr. G that I thought yeast was a problem. He wants to give the Valtrex a little more time to work on the full dose and then add Nizoral at the end of this week. Thanks for the info.

Guest guest Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Hi, consider acetone accumalation in the body. This occurs when the body uses alternative methods of metabolizing glucose other than insulin. For example, a diabetic will have it when they are out of control. I'm not sure the exact cause in your son, but I know that a high protein diet produces ketones as the body thinks its starving and begins to utilize alternative metabolic pathways. but I'm not sure if a high protein diet gives you acetone or fruity breath. good luck hope this helps -- In , " Robyn " <rngcoggs@...> wrote: > > My son on occasion has fruity-smelling breath, even though he's > consumed no fruit.
