It's possible to have problems with any foods. Not sure how you could single out yeast as a problem? If you are experiencing problems after eating gluten free bread, it may be caused by the emulsifiers.

This applies to a lot of people. It seems to be the additives, like emulsifiers, that sensitive guts can't cope with. For example, xantham gum can act as a laxative. There have been discussions on this in past posts.

There has been some research done on rats, which showes that emulsifiers caused gut problems.

Many many years ago, I had to do an elimination diet. I think I had to eat a small amount of dried yeast <barf> to see if I reacted to it and, boy, did I react. It was pretty dire, and I was very unwell (I probably don't need to go into much detail!) After letting everything settle down, I had the same reaction a second time several weeks later.

I think someone was having a laugh asking you to eat yeast. No wonder you were ill.

The only yeast I've eaten as yeast is brewer's yeast in tablet form when I used to train (before CD diagnosis). They're not advisable for people with inflammatory bowel disorders.

Yeasts can have a deleterious effect on the body, causing candida, thrush etc.

Eeeeek, let's hope that maybe it was brewer's yeast I had, I just can't remember. I hadn't been diagnosed with anything at all the time anyway - I was feeling so dreadful most of the time, I don't think anything I ate could have made me worse.

The elimination diet was done by a (proper) dietitican, and actually resolved most of my problems, so it worked out in the end.

Not what you're looking for?
