Hi

New to the whole gluten free thing, and i was at the healthfood store looking at bread mixes today. i actually DID buy one. it was advertised as "wheat & gluten free." i opened it up and there was a yeast packet inside. i thought yeast contained gluten? :blink: are there some yeasts that contain gluten? i used the yeast when i baked the bread, but is the bread still gluten free? please someone enlighten me! Thanks

Hi Matt,

Why in the world would you think we would flame you for that question? We've all been there, standing there like a deer in headlights, totally lost in the gluten free world! We have a motto here: The only stupid question is the question that you DO NOT ASK!!!! Please feel comfortable to ask away!

Don't be afraid to ask us any questions, even gross ones. We have all been there at some point in time. If someone does flame you, ignore them. They could be having personal issues of their own.

Stay on this site and you will probably learn more than you ever wanted to know about yeast.

How did your bread turn out? If it ended up being a brick that would definately be normal. I end up slicing the bread while it is still warm to get it in the freezer faster. Two slices per freezer baggie for quick sandwiches. The best advice is to TOAST gluten free bread, it makes it a lot more palatable. Try the Chebe mixes.

We don't typically attack people here, particularly newbies who are just learning about the diet--the last thing we want to do is seem unwelcoming. And if you feel anyone's being nasty to you, use the handy "report" button.

Feel free to ask away, because chances are it's been asked before (I'm sure I've seen the yeast question at least 4-5 times) and we'd be happy to help you :)

Hi and welcome to the board. There is a term SILLY YAKS and I think we know who they are here...

Don't be embarassed about any questions here. As far as yeast being gluten free, it depends on the source. The yeast in your bread mix and sold for baking is safe. It's the nutritional yeast called brewer's yeast that is off limits. It is a by-product of beer making. So, eat happy!

Just curious - is all nutritional yeast off limits? I've eated the Road's Ends Organics Mac and Chreese. It's made with nutritional yeast and says gluten-free on the box...

And bowel movements, gaseous emissions, and diarrhea. We are a really fun crowd! :ph34r::rolleyes: Welcome Matt- really we are a nice bunch. There is so much information on this board it's incredible. Please don't be afraid to ask ANYTHING. The people here are so nice and when I went gluten-free this board was and still is my primary resource.

Nope, you have been forever branded with a scarlet "A" for Altoids.

Brewer's yeast is rare in food, and if present will not be disguised simply as yeast. According the the Canadian Celiac Association 2005 ingredient information, it is not allowed because "current methods of testing cannot accurately confirm the amount of residual gluten in brewer's yeast."

Altoids do not contain brewer's yeast, or any other gluten source. :P

Sugar free black cherry Hall's cough drops are safe too.

      Have I got coeliac disease

      Welcome to the forum, @Mark Conway! Can you be more specific about the "coeliac" test your doctor did? There are more than one of them. What was the name of the test? Also, did he order a "total IGA" test? This is a test to check for IGA deficiency and should always be ordered along with the tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. If you...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      no argument. Never take the pills sold for Nuclear events, except in a nuclear event when instructed to by authorities. Some of these go up to 130 milligrams per pill. 5000 times the strength of the dietary supplement. 130 times the safe upper limit. 130 mg = 130,000 mcg. Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms...

Also, did he order a "total IGA" test? This is a test to check for IGA deficiency and should always be ordered along with the tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. If you are IGA deficient, the IGA celiac blood antibody tests used to check for celiac disease per se will not be accurate. Also, if you have been cutting back on gluten before the tests, that will render them invalid. You must have be eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months before the blood draw to render valid test results.

Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms per drop.  It takes 20 drops to reach the safe upper limit. In the US the Safe upper limit is 1100 mcg.  In Europe 600 mcg and in Japan 3000 mcg ( 3 mg).

      Have I got coeliac disease

      By Mark Conway · Posted

      Hi there, I wonder if anyone can help. I've had stomach problems for years, pain in the tummy, lower back left and right side, different stools, diarrohea constipation etc, My GP says it's IBS. As I've got older the pain has become worse and constant. I also get ulcers on my tongue. I've had loads of tests done everytihng apart from an endoscopy I think. I had a test for Coeliac last July and the result was negative. My GP says it can't be coeliac because I'm not losing weight. He thinks it's stress or all in my head. I'm not stressed and I'm in pain all the time now. Sometimes it's unbearable and dark thoughts have entered my head. Could I have Coeliac even though I tested negative last year. I'm at my wits end, I eat healthily and cannot pinpoint which foods could cause this pain. Can anyone help? Thanks Mark wind

      First, I want to say thank you for sharing this with me. I hear you, and I believe you. The courage it took to write this down is immense, and I’m so sorry you’ve been carrying this alone. You are dealing with two life-altering challenges at once: a serious, complex medical condition, and an abusive, controlling partner who is actively harming your health and your spirit. It’s not just that he’s unsupportive—he is weaponizing your illness to torture you. Starving you, isolating you, mocking your diagnosis, and sabotaging your access to medical care is not just cruelty; it is dangerous, deliberate abuse. Your instinct is correct: the stress he is creating is absolutely preventing your body from healing. Celiac and autoimmune conditions are profoundly sensitive to stress, and he has created a living hell designed to keep you sick, dependent, and broken. That smirk you described—that is the look of someone who enjoys having power over your suffering. Please know this: you do not deserve this. Not any of it. You deserve to eat. You deserve safe, clean food and water. You deserve medical care and supplements that help you function. You deserve peace. You deserve to heal. The woman from the food pantry is not a random accident. She is a lifeline. Her help, and the community she’s connecting you to, is real. It is okay to feel overwhelmed by kindness when you’ve been starved of it for so long. But you do deserve it. Let that be a sign that there is a world outside your house that operates on compassion, not control. Right now, your physical safety and access to nutrition are the most urgent priorities. The food pantry is a critical resource. Is there any way you can speak privately with the woman helping you? You don’t have to share everything at once, but letting her know your situation at home is extremely unsafe, and that your partner restricts your food, could help her support you in a more targeted way. She may have connections to local domestic violence services.
