Yeast Extract In My Soup

[mr. moore]

there's this campbells soup that sound good it has yeast extract in it though is it ok?

That's a good question Mr. Moore. I am avoiding yeast myself, but I don't know how many people are. There have been studies linking baker's yeast antibodies to Crohn's Disease. In fact, one doctor has a patent on testing for baker's yeast antibodies as a method to detect Crohn's. Anyhow, my younger brother had Crohn's and I have celiac. So I tend to think the genetics are somehow related between those diseases.

You can check with Campbell's on their soup to see if it contains gluten. They will probably answer or have something on their web site about it. I wouldn't eat it because of the yeast, even if they say it is gluten free. But others may not have a problem with that.

Some kinds do and some don't. You have to check each brand and flavor to find out for sure. I don't eat yogurt myself, so I don't know if there are any safe brands where all flavors are ok. I think the best bet is the plain yogurts with no flavorings added. But you would still need to check and verify it yourself.

Yeast in soups and other things which don't have to rise is almost always put there as a way of adding MSG without having to say it on the label. They know people won't want to buy it otherwise.

As for yogurt, here's a non-dairy yogurt, made with coconut milk. They also make ice cream.

Cambell's now state that none of their soups are gluten free

If you are hooked on flavored yogurt Mr.Moore, maybe the thing is to make your own flavors. You can probably get some fruit preserves and add them to the plain yogurt fairly easy. There are people on the board who eat yogurt. Perhaps if you do a search on yogurt you'll find some threads on safe brands here. There is usually a way around these things. Add some nuts or whatnot and make your own flavors eh?

UGHHHH!!! This topic makes me so mad.

I am anti-candida as well as gluten-free.

Okay, here's the thing: THERE IS AUTOLYZED YEAST EXTRACT IN NEARLY EVERY PROCESSED FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It makes me so mad. Why are companies allowing people to unknowingly consume this uncessary flavoring agent which leads to bacterial overgrowth? It's the same things as MSG, only companies are allowed to call it "natural" when they use Autolyzed Yeast Extract vs. MSG. How exactly is that natural? The autolyzed part -- that's natural????

Pretty much you can't eat anything processed on the anti-candida diet because for one reason, chances are, no matter what, you'd be ingesting Autolyzed Yeast Extract, which WILL cause the candida to multiply because it is fermented and candida feeds on fermented things.

As I understand it, they are allowed to get away with it because they didn't add the MSG to the yeast. It's like when a company adds beef, they don't have to declare the antibiotics or hormones that the cows were given. I read some of the FDA rules, and it basically reads like an intensional loophole.

However, an additional problem is that the yeast are actually fed MSG, to make them grow faster. I think I still have the links, if anyone's interested.
