  Hello, @Aretaeus Cappadocia, My favorite source of B12 is liver. 😺 I react to nutritional yeast the same way as if I were glutened. Casein, a protein in dairy, and nutritional yeast have protein segments that match certain antigenic protein segments in gluten. The proteins in rice, corn (maize), and chicken meat have them as well. Some pe...

Your report shows you are negative for the common DQ2 and DQ8 combinations, but positive for DQB102, which is one component of the DQ2 pair. On its...

  I agree with your post and have had similar experiences. I'm commenting to add the suggestion of also using nutritional yeast as a supplement.
