Autolyzed Yeast

The pamphlet that my doctor gave me says to avoid yeast extract and brewer's yeast, but plain yeast is ok, however, I keep running into autolyzed yeast and autolyzed yeast extract on ingredients' lists. Is it safe for celiacs or not? I never imagined I'd be trying to learn the different forms of yeast! Any info anyone has would be helpful. Thanks!

Curious if anyone found the answer to this?

I know it is possible for autolyzed yeast extract to be gluten-free, but I can't say for sure that it always is.

The thing to be aware of with any autolyzed protein is that it generates MSG (among other things, presumably) when combined with salt--but the label doesn't have to say anything about this, and can in fact read "no MSG (added)." So if you react to MSG, tread cautiously with autolyzed protein extracts.

And anyone know the difference between autolyzed and hydrolyzed?

I posted a question on hydrolyzed yeast and hydrolyzed whey and if they were gluten-free. No answer yet.

Eww, we need a food chemist to help us out.

I'm confused, that's for sure. :(

Hi Guys!

OK this is my understanding: Yeast extract can be made from Barley- so I would avoid it or call the company to find the source. Autolyzed Yeast Extract I'm not sure if it CAN have gluten in it...but i know that it is included in alot of gluten free products. So it doesnt mean NO. I know that is not very helpful, but its better than nothing. It's in the swanson's broth I'm about to eat that is Gluten free. :-)

Autolyzed yeast and yeast extract are not sources of gluten, although they are sources of glutamate which is sometimes confused with gluten. Yeast is yeast, it is not derived from any grain.

Brewer's yeast should be avoided as it is a byproduct of brewing beer. It is spent yeast that has already been used to ferment barley.

Thanks for the answer, I really had no clue.

Isn't Swanson broth off the good list along with Prego sauces? I thought I read they changed their formulas.

I know that swanson's beerf broth has gluten in it-- but I'm pretty sure their chicken and vegetable broth is ok. The only ingredient i wasn't 100% sure of was the Autolyzed Yeast.

I wanted to comment on the above post, that Yeast Extract can absolutley have gluten in it as some forms are derived from Brewer's yeast,which means it would have gluten.

Here's what I found:

"Yeast Extraction Or Autolyzed Yeast

Yeast is a single celled plant that has been useful to mankind since pre-historic times.

There are numerous applications of yeast in the food industry.

a. Baker's Yeast: The role of baker yeast in baking industry is to leaven bread and related products. Baker's Yeast is a Halal yeast.

b. Brewer's Yeast: This type of yeast is used in fermenting sugar in malt to produce alcohol and carbon dioxide in beer making.

c. Wine Yeast: This yeast is used in making wine.

d. Alcohol Yeast : Yeast is used in production of alcohol.

e. Torula Yeast: Torula Yeast grows on sulfite waste and sulfite liquors. It is also grown on sugar cane. Torula yeast grown on sulphite liquor containing alcohol is not recommended for Muslims. If it is grown on sugar cane then it is considered Halal.

f. Autolyzed Yeast Extracts or Yeast Extracts: Autolyzed yeast extracts are available as a powder derived from Baker's Yeast or Brewer's Yeast. After brewing the beer, the brewer yeast is separated from the beer and subjected to self digestion, the hydrolysis of yeast cell protein by the proteolytic enzymes indigenous to yeast cell. Brewer's yeast extracts are used in soups, meat products, gravies, snacks, crackers, part of some of the culture media in cheese making. It is used in flavors and also vitamins. Baker's yeast extracts are used in non flavoring foods."

So it sounds like Autolyzed and Yeast Extracts can come from brewer's (contains gluten) or baker's yeast (is gluten-free)-- so call the company and check on both.

Does anyone else have more information? I'm going to call Swanson's and check on that broth today before I make my soup!

I checked on the Swanson's broth and posted on Dec 11, 2008 all Swanson's chicken broth is gluten-free, but the Prego and Pace is NOT gluten-free any more. The string is above, there is a very detailed list.

Hi, go here:

Open Original Shared Link

Autolyzed yeast is considered safe according to this site.

It is also not listed as unsafe on this site.

Go here:

https://www.celiac.com/articles/182/1/Unsaf...ents/Page1.html

Hope this helps! you also need to buy the gluten-free shopping guide on this site, either one is fine. It will save you a lot of hair pulling! Print up the unsafe list and keep it with you!

Also, go through your meds, makeup, otc stuff etc. and toss anything that isn't on the glutenfreedrugs site! You don't want to get gluten by your lip balm or the wrong NSAID!

Congrats on your diagnosis and happy healing!

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

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. 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!!!
