Caring for someone with candidiasis
Partner
If your partner has candidiasis, you can support them through the following strategies:
- Get tested - if your partner has candidiasis, especially if it is vaginal or penile, then you will need to also get tested to determine if you have the condition as well
- Probiotics - both you and your partner need to eat more foods rich in probiotics or even try a supplement, as that will help to repopulate your body with friendly flora, which can help with reducing symptoms more quickly

Friends
There are no specific strategies friends can use to help with support.
Parents
If your child has candidiasis, you can help support your child with the following strategies:
- Less sweets and processed foods - your child will benefit from eating less sweets and processed foods, because these types of foods break down into glucose very quickly and help feed candida albicans so that it can grow and proliferate even more
- More natural foods - ensure your child eats more natural foods that have not been processed
- Probiotics - it is very beneficial for your child to eat more foods rich in probiotics or even try a supplement (but ask your doctor first), as that will help to repopulate their body with friendly flora, which can help with reducing symptoms more quickly
