Yeast Intolerance

OK, I know this is away from gluten intolerance, which I have, but everyone is always so helpful, I was hoping you would have ideas about yeast.

Well, I can have some types of yeast because tequilla and rum don't bother me : ); however, grain and fruit "yeast" do bother me.

I have had to eliminate almost all fruit from my limited diet (no gluten, lactose/casein, yeast, corn, soy, wine, vinegar, peanuts, almonds, garbonzo, msg) - I can still eat pecans and walnuts though. However, when I eat fruit that has ripened well, to the sweet stage, I react with a yeast reaction. I understand that as fruit ripens, it grows yeast, however, I recently made a nut bread and put sugar on top. Well, when I first made the bread, it was wonderful and no reaction!!! However, after a couple of days, sealed but not refridgerated (sp?), I developed a "yeast type" of reaction. I am guessing that the non-refridg bread with sugar grew yeast that then made me sick. Any ideas?

I am missing sweet foods...the bread was really nice and I can eat the brownies I make without problems too...

I do eat fruit jams that don't affect me and I was wondering if it is because, they are canned/sealed the refridgerated right away and con't have the chance to grow yeast in the quantities to give me a reaction.

Any ideas, hypothosises (sp????), any help? Thanks...

The distillation process used to make tequilla and rum removes the yeast.

Yeast will grow on anything with sugar, particularly fruits and baked goods without preservatives.

Sugar and refined carb ingestation also promotes yeast growth in the bowel.

I've read yeast is indicated as a root cause in Krohn's disease.

I have been checked for Krohn's disease, IBS w/ food intolerances is the final dx.

Thanks for the help - by the way, I don't have any other problems that people with candid (sp?) have - I have similar reactions to soy, gluten, peanuts, etc. the yeast just makes me tired and run a fever on top of those symptoms. I feel drugged for days.

The question then is, will refridgerating the baked goods slow down the process; i.e., allowing me to keep/eat something a little longer? So far, I am doing fine in giving up the sweets and fruit but it would be nice occasionally.

Also, if it promotes growth in the bowels, I don't know that I have noticed anything like that, of course, everything "still" runs through pretty quick.

Like most growing things, yeast is more active in warm conditions than cold conditions. Bread yeast goes fairly inactive in the fridge. There are some beer yeasts (lager) that operate at fridge temps, but not bread yeast. Bakers keep cakes of bread yeast in the fridge to keep it fresh (dormant).

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.

      Great question! Even if some individuals with celiac disease don’t experience immediate villi damage from occasional cross-contamination, it’s still strongly recommended to maintain strict avoidance of gluten. The immune response triggered by gluten can vary between individuals, and even small amounts may cause systemic inflammation or other symptoms, even if intestinal damage isn’t immediately detectable. Additionally, repeated exposure—even at low levels—could lead to cumulative harm over time. Strict avoidance of cross-contamination remains the safest approach to prevent long-term complications and ensure overall health. Everyone’s sensitivity differs, so working with a healthcare provider to tailor precautions is ideal.

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the thyroid in genetically predisposed individuals.  You did not eat sufficient gluten (10 grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum) to raise the autoimmune antibodies to the point they can be measured in the blood, so your blood tests may well be inaccurate.  You could choose to continue the gluten challenge of 10 grams a day for at least two weeks and get retested.   At the very least, you know that gluten is harmful to your thyroid, and because you are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease, a strict gluten free diet would be beneficial for your overall health.

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ?
