Yeast Flakes?

Someone very nice posted some recipes for cashew cheese stuff (sooooo sorry I'm blanking on your name!!) and now I can't find the recipes! I printed them out, went to the store and bought the ingredients for one of the recipes...and left the recipes in the cart! <_<

Anyway, I'll find the recipes eventually, but one of the ingredients was listed as "yeast flakes." I went to Wegman's to find them, and not only did I not find them, no one knew what they were!

I ended up buying the jar of yeast, uh, pellets, I guess, but is that the same thing?

Edit: I found the recipes...I had saved them to my puter. Doh! :blink:

I had been looking for them also and couldn't find them in any grocery store. I finally found them at my health food store but they were in the section with the vitamins, not the food. Ask at a health food store. They are not the same thing as the yeast you buy in the grocery store to make bread etc. Hope this helps!

They are totally different than the yeast you bake with.

I'm not sure where you live but Fred Meyer/Krogers carries them in the natural food bulk isle. Wild Oats has them in the bulk isle. Co-op have them in the bulk section. Health food stores would probably be the same.

I haven't looked for them pre bagged so if you find them that way let me know please.

You don't have to use them but it gives the "cheese" a more cheesy flavor. I last made mac and cheese without it and the kids liked it just fine. We are used to cashew cheese though.

Matilda,

I didn't use anything, just left them out. Remember, we are used to cashew cheese and I don't think the flavor was that much different. You can experiment with different seasonings to see how you like them too. If you don't get used to the flavor with the yeast flakes you will not have anything to miss. :)

The Nacho Cheese doesn't use them and the seasonings (chili powder, I use cumin or homemade chili powder) make up the difference.

I don't know if they upset my stomach last time (could be cc) or if it was the chicken italian sausage I used. We were all fine this last time but there was no yeast flakes or sausage.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Autoimmune diseases tend to cluster. Many of them are found close together on the chromosomes.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Just giving another update... I was referred to rheumatology, and they suspect that I may also be dealing with fibromyalgia (it has not been formally diagnosed, but just suggested at this point).  So, I am continuing with the anti-inflammatory diet and vitamins and still working to keep getting rid of all these hidden gluten sources, but I also do have another possible explanation for some of the issues that I'm dealing with.

      I would pressure the lab to do the IgA control test for free so that you won't write a poor review about their testing services. You could get this done at any time, whether or not you are gluten-free, however, the celiac disease Tissue Transglutaminase tTG-IgA test must be done after you've been eating lots of gluten for around 6 weeks. This way you could salvage the results of your tTG-IgA test, as long as you were eating lots of gluten beforehand.

      celiac, chocolate and alcohol

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Given your strong reactions it would be wise not to eat things offered to you without reading the ingredient labels. It's possible there was indeed gluten or some allergen in the chocolates--barley malt is a common ingredient in some chocolates.

      Yes, an IgG panel is the logical next step. However, you would still need to be consuming normal amounts of gluten to ensure valid IgG testing. Since it has only been a week that you have been off gluten, there is still likely time to restore antibodies to detectable levels before the blood draw. IgG antibody tests are not quite as specific for celiac disease as are the IGA tests but they are certainly valuable in the case of IGA deficiency. They also seem to have a little more "staying power" in the sense of detecting celiac disease in the case of those who may have already started a gluten-free diet as long as they haven't been on it for an extended period of time. But don't rely on that. Get back on gluten if you can possibly endure it if you intend to go forward with IgG testing. This might be helpful:
