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??

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:

Open Original Shared Link

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.

      I  notice a reaction to tea bags, possibly due to gluten or other substances. Is this recognizable?

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By trents · Posted

      The blood tests you had done are not the main ones. The two main ones are the "Total IGA" (to check for IGA deficiency) and the "TTG-IGA". Current guidelines for the "gluten challenge" when people have been gluten free for a significant time period are the daily consumption of at least10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks leading up to the day of the blood draw. That should give you some perspective.

      Thank you, really.  I took a test for DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG. Effectively, it is not enough to discard Celiac Disease. I was consuming gluten until then, I only started gluten-free some days ago, when the symptoms became horrible and now I feel considerably better, which is a second confirmation that gluten is the main problem. It's been more than 4 years I have the same suspect, when I first thought gluten was causing me problems, I made a gluten-free diet for a year, I felt really good as never before. However, neither I or my parents were well informed about Celiac disease, so none of us tried to make further exams. My father suffer digestive problems and other members of my family as well. Unfortunately, no one have ever been tested for Celiac disease. I'll have to restart eating gluten in the next weeks, so I can make a serious blood test in laboratory, hopefully between two or three months.

      As Scott said, in order for celiac disease testing to be valid, you need to be eating generous amounts of gluten on a regular basis for weeks or months before the blood draw. The blood tests are designed to detect antibodies that the immune system produces in response to the ingestion of gluten. It takes time for them to build up in the blood to detectable levels.

      Based on what you've described, it is absolutely crucial that you pursue further medical exams for Celiac Disease and related conditions with a gastroenterologist. Your symptoms—especially the worsening fatigue, loss of muscle mass, neurological symptoms like migraines, and palpitations, coupled with being underweight—are significant red flags that extend beyond typical IBS. The negative home test is not reliable, particularly given your concern about sample contamination and the fact that you were likely not consuming sufficient gluten at the time for the test to be accurate, which is a common issue. While probiotics like Bifidobacterium Infantis can support gut health, they cannot resolve an autoimmune response to gluten or heal intestinal damage caused by Celiac Disease. Your declining blood test results, even if still "in range," further indicate a trend that needs a doctor's investigation. Please do not hesitate to seek a specialist; a formal diagnosis is the first step toward getting the correct treatment, allowing your body to heal, and finally addressing your weight and overall health concerns. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
