Is It Possible To Not Have Enough Yeast In Our Gluten-Free Diets?

Something someone else posted about made me reconsider a thought that went through my mind not long after first going gluten free.

That is, if we are skipping most or all breads from out diets, are we apt to throw our digestive systems out of whack by not having enough yeast intake?

The internet is full of stories about people having yeast overgrowths, but I've never heard of anyone having too little yeast and yet I know yeast is a necessary component of a healthy digestive system.

I'm not having any problems as my gluten-free breads contain yeast and they do tempt me occasionally, but does anyone have any cautionary tales?

I have never heard that not eating yeast is an issue.  I rarely eat anything with yeast in it.  I think there are cultures that don't eat yeasty baked goods - at least traditionally.

I have avoided yeast for more than a decade.  I think I am okay now.

You don't NEED yeast, you're better off without it.

      I just want to post this new study here--it seems that for those who don't recover on a gluten-free diet may be in this group: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scitranslmed.adp6812

      Additional Food Intolerances

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      It does seem like brushing would be needed, and like anything else, a little daily exposure can lead to serious issues for celiacs.

      Young celiac person looking for advice

      By DanteZaffar · Posted

      Thank you! This is very helpful I’ll start looking over everything and writing down what I may be recent to. I suspect minor gluten or another intolerance. Do you have any advice on how to possibly expedite my healing process? I’ve heard taking different herbs and vitamin supplements but it’s a bit overwhelming for how recent I’ve been trying to keep track of my diet. Doing my best to feel better since I’m heaving so many annoying symptoms 😕
