What Causes Extreme Yeast Like Body Odor?
my grandson is 28...in the past his mom said his breath smelled like yeast! Now that I am in closer contact with him his odor is yeast like and even after his clothing is washed, that odor prevails. He had dinner in my home tonight and the couch pillow has his odor after he left.

Hello,
The excess perspiration like yeast odor can be part of hyper functioning of sweat glands due to underlying endocrine disorder involving sympathetic and parasympathetic system control, metabolic derangement of amino acids or others. He must get a detailed evaluation with expert physician to look into the matter, get necessary lab tests done for future guidelines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
