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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
