Hi, sorry for late reply... I checked with the company Biocare and not made from/with yeast. I’ve stopped the drops for now and symptoms cleared up so definitely the selenium.. perhaps I’ll have to take one drop and wait a while till I go back to two. I now know selenium can cause stomach upsets and d... but I would like to be able to take it. The drops are pretty pure ie no fillers. I’ll look into trying different ones too. Many thanks
