Candida isn't an STD [WAS: New here and advice needed on which diet for eczema]

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I don't usually say anything on this group, but I had to comment on this... I

really wish folks would stop spreading the myth that candida can be sexually

transmitted, or can be passed back and forth between partners. Candida is a

real problem and is often misunderstood, but whenever anyone starts talking

about " catching " or " contracting " it, they lose all credibility with me. I hope

this misinformation won't continue being circulated. Thanks.

Sincerely,

Singhurst

> I contracted it from an infected sexual partner, passed it on to my wife after

we met, and we have been passing it back and forth to each other for 12 years.

Of all the symptoms listed above, we had all but a few of them either

consistently, or on a recurring basis.

> In the beginning I went to many doctors hoping for a diagnosis and treatment.

Since they didn't know what Candida was (nor did I), they naturally couldn't

test for it.

I read you can catch it by kissing, not sexual encounters though.
