Yeast Extract

I have recently discovered that I am allergic to wheat/gluten by process of elimination. I break out all over in an ithcy rash. I am slowly getting a handle on the things I can and can not have. I too wonder about the yeast extact. I recently bought some pretzels that say on the bag that they are gluten free, but they list yeast extract in the ingredients. It's so hard sometimes to get a straight yes or no answer. One place will say yes, it's safe and another will say no, it is made from barley. Am I to assume that since the bag states that it is gluten free that they have taken messures to assure that the yeast extract is also gluten free?

Yeast, and yeast extract, are gluten-free.

There are some questionable ingredients that are sometimes a source of gluten, but if they are in the ingredients list and the package also states "gluten-free" then you don't need to worry.

Previously, some yeast were grown on dried malt extract [not gluten-free] - but it is mostly corn-based these days .. Home brewer still used DME to cultivate their yeasts ...

Oooooo Yeast grown on corn, didn't know that. I am Gluten/Corn free. Just goes to show you have to be a detective and NEVER let your guard down and even then you can still get sick from so called HIDDEN ingredients.

      To kiss or not to kiss: Can gluten pass through a smooch?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I thought I'd share this article about recent findings that not enough gluten is transmitted during kissing to be concerned about: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1082120  What do you think?

      2 months in... struggling with symptoms

      By aperlo34 · Posted

      @OlafAndvarafors hi! I’m feeling a lot better. Twitching has gotten better…I never really found an explanation for the twitching other than anxiety and/or some sort of deficiency (b12/iron/magnesium/D). These are just guesses, though. My levels were always “low-normal” and I recently got 2 more iron infusions because my ferritin dropped despite the gluten-free diet.    as for the other symptoms, I definitely am inclined to blame the gluten “detox” period and honestly anxiety around the entire ordeal. It’s a huge thing to deal with mentally, and I didn’t have symptoms that I knew of prior to being diagnosed so it really threw me into a spiral.    I supplement daily, multivitamin, 6000 D, B12 sublingual, B complex, C, omega 3, magnesium.    Be patient and kind with yourself. A lot of these forums, while helpful, point you to every possible horrible diagnosis.

      Hello. How are you feeling? Did you find out the cause? I have the same symptoms, but I'm still going through the diagnostic process for celiac disease.

      Confusion about my son's results

      By lizzie42 · Posted

      I'm confused about these results. We are not seeing the GI doc. He's totally out of our price range. We can just do gluten free like we do for my daughter who was off the charts on all of these. Any thoughts? Maybe we caught it early? He's only 5.  His EMA was negative. That got cut out of the photo.
