Yeasts do bother me too. I'm not sure it it's because of MSG or candida, but either way it doesn't matter in terms of diet.

The yeast being called "nutritional" is not the same as bread yeast. I avoid that too. IMO, "nutritional yeast" is nothing more than a way for manufacturers to add Free Glutamic Acid (MSG) to a product without the legal requirement of declaring it on the label. Check www.truthinlabeling.org for more about MSG and what symptoms you might expect.

I have an intense reaction to yeast. When I had the health crisis that lead me to a naturopathic doctor to have my candida-leaky gut-intolerances diagnosed it was actually caused because I'd added a ton of yogurt to my daily diet. The naturopath explained that since I'd had a systemic candida infection for so long my immune system had learned to react to all yeast and that I probably wouldn't be able to eat them ever again. I got some by accident a while ago (my husband forgot to read a label and I forgot to double check it) and my reaction was even more extreme than my gluten reaction. Its hard because alot of the gluten free products like breads and pizzas have yeast in them. You can always buy the mixes and leave out the yeast package when you mix it all up. I use baking soda instead and have had good results with pizza crust.

Yes I can't have any yeast or alcohol etc. etc. either. Same thing happens to me. Too much candida for too long. Recently I have been using barberry as well as pao de arco and garlic and of course probiotics to help counteract it. Seems to be helping a lot. That plus eating a more paleolithic diet. The ground up grains --especially the ones that have been bleached etc.--turn to sugar qucikly and thus feed the yeast. Can't each much fruit either in one day.

The yeast allergy however makes it so I have to not take regular b vitamins. And yet I need them to help deal with the yeast and other issues like eating carbohydrates and proteins etc. etc.! And they have to be the really absorbable kind --not the usual ones derived from coal tar. So I finally found the co-enzyme B's and they are a godsend...

I'm also yeast-free because of candida.

Hi,

Would you please let me know what co-enzyme B's you are talking about. What brand? Is this well tolerated for most of us?

Thanks,

Susie

      I think giving attention to the main sources of exposure such as direct consumption of gluten and gross cross contamination with reasonable attention to handwashing and thorough counter top cleaning and dishwashing should cover cross contamination issues. The biggest precautions would be eating in restaurants and at other's homes. Don't get paranoia over it and don't make trouble where there is none. As far a what you communicate with your physicians, just tell them what you know. Strongly positive antibody tests, negative biopsy, positive symptoms when consuming gluten with clearing of symptoms when gluten free.

      Occasionally we do see anomalies where celiac antibody tests are positive but biopsies are negative, and even visa versa. Sometimes, damage to the small bowel lining is patchy and unless numerous samples are taken from various areas, the damage can be missed. So, there's that issue as well. I think in your situation, the tell-tale indicator is the difference in symptoms between when you were off gluten and when you were consuming it.

      Okay, that makes sense - so based off of the 90% odds that it is positive, it’s worth switching to fully gluten-free? How strict do I need to be with cross-contamination, handling, etc. Is it something that can go by feel, for instance if I feel okay making my family sandwiches and handling the bread as opposed to eating it, or is it something that is causing silent damage even if I feel fine? Also, do I make it clear to my rheumatologist and other medical providers that I am celiac? Or will they veto that due to negative endoscopy? Thanks again for the help!

      If you look at the article that I shared you will notice that "The test is estimated to have a sensitivity of approximately 90%, which means that it correctly identifies 90% of people with celiac disease. It also has a high specificity of around 95%, which means that it correctly identifies 95% of people who do not have celiac disease," so your results indicate that you very likely have celiac disease, especially if you also have symptoms while eating gluten that go away when you stop eating it (although many celiacs don't have obvious symptoms).
