As soon as I came from hospital knowing I was acute with Candida symptoms my boyfriend and I went straight to a Naturopath together to talk about the ?needs? of my condition. He (my boyfriend) learnt that Candida can be re-infected by the partner who may not be ill with Candida but has enough to pass it on sexually etc. So he has gone on the Candida diet with me and also takes the same supplements and eats garlic with me. What I am expressing here, was the way we always went together to appointments and we read books together so he can fully be aware of the process that needs to be done for successful healing of my condition. I know for a fact if I just gathered information and then told him he would probably look bored and not listen but when it is a professional such as GP or Naturopath speaking he listens.
