Does Anyone Else Have A Problem With Instant Yeast?

[cam'smom]

my son was doing fantastically on his gluten-free diet until I started making his bread using a recipe that contained instant yeast. as soon as I stopped the yeast, all was fine again. has anyone else experienced this? Does instant yeast also contain gluten? Or maybe it's a seperate issue all together??

I just have trouble with yeast.

Some people have issues with yeast so maybe he's just sensitive to the yeast. Does this happen when you use other types of yeast?

Red Star and Fleischmann's are gluten-free.

My son seems to have reacted to the gluten-free bread I made for him which contained instant yeast. There was nothing else new in his diet and when I stopped the bread, his tummy cleared. Has anyone heard of this before? Does yeast contain gluten?? Or maybe there is a seperate yeast issue going on. Advice please!!

When I used to make bread, I did find instant yeast that stated gluten free on it. Some of us do react to yeast. I found gluten free bread to be too heavy, and generally did not feel well after eating it. It may have been because of the grain for me, I can no longer eat grains.

I think you can make some breads without yeast, try that, or, look for gluten free yeast.

Thanks, this is helpful. I have never really paid attention to the type of yeast as I never considered it would have gluten in it or cause an issue by itself. Toast is my fall-back when he refuses his food - he loves toast - so I need to find a recipe that is gluten, dairy, soy and yeast free - know of any?

I am a big fan of Open Original Shared Link dry mixes. Open Original Shared Link has quite a few yeast-free recipes that are also dairy and soy free. I use water in place of milk in bread recipes. For butter, I use olive oil. You could also use coconut oil, dfsf margarine, or Spectrum Palm Oil Shortening.

Here is an interesting tidbit to read:

Switch to "active dry" and see if he reacts to it.

I just posted this in another section. Could there be a reaction to MSG? Check out the list I found.
