I’ve read case stories of Candida sufferers who were afraid to tell their family and friends that they had a Candida “infestation” so they simply told them that they had contracted a terrible allergy to certain foods including to yeast and sugar. I’ve not heard of one person yet who claimed their families did not believe this.
Candida infestations are an illness that few people have ever heard of, and since most medical doctors don’t believe in it either, it’s easier for a family or friend to refuse to believe that it’s the problem. Another reason is that they have no advice to offer, like the doctors, they’re clueless about the symptoms, causes, and what will and will not help the situation. Families in general want to hear about something they can help you with.
