Hi Everyone.
1) If you have it so does your partner. Unless they are clear as well, they will just re-infect you. Most men never have outbreaks, so they assume they are clear.
2) Candida Albicans feeds on sugar; this means it will play hell with your blood sugar. If you’re having an outbreak, avoid heavily processed foods and anything with high sugar content. This includes fruit juice, but not fresh fruit. Also…no alcohol.
3) There is an alternative health diet that excludes most sugars, no alcohol, no caffeine, no breads or wheat. Lasts about 60 days, I've never completed it but my sister did and has never had a problem since. I will see if I can find it and post a link.
4) Cranberry juice helps, don't over do it. Have a glass every hour or two with 2 glass of water in between. It's a diuretic so don't go overboard, unless you want to spend your day running for the toilet.
5) Alternate yeasts can also help control an outbreak. Not bread, but some yogurts, specifically the ones used for full cream Greek yogurt. No Sugar, obviously
Probiotic's taken after an attack will help you recover and sometimes stave off the next outbreak.
6) If you get a bad case in your throat, see if you can get a silver spray. And yes, that is what it sounds like. Some alternative health shops will have fine silver suspended in liquid as a throat spray
7) If you can't get the spray try eating garlic, it is a natural fungicide and often has trace amounts of silver in it. Cinnamon is also a fungicide, try a stuck in hot water to drink. As an added benefit, the cinnamon should also help regulate your blood sugar.
Hope this is useful and helps a bit.
