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.

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. :angry:

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

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

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.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Navigating medication safety with Celiac disease can be incredibly stressful, especially when dealing with asthma and severe allergies on top of it. While I don't have personal experience with the HealthA2Z brand of cetirizine, your caution is absolutely warranted. The inactive ingredients in pills, known as excipients, are often where gluten can be hidden, and since the FDA does not require gluten-free labeling for prescription or over-the-counter drugs, the manufacturer's word is essential. The fact that you cannot get a clear answer from Allegiant Health is a significant red flag; a company that is confident its product is gluten-free will typically have a customer service protocol to answer that exact question. In situations like this, the safest course of action is to consider this product "guilty until proven innocent" and avoid it. A better alternative would be to ask your pharmacist or doctor to help you identify a major national brand of cetirizine (like Zyrtec) whose manufacturer has a verified, publicly stated gluten-free policy for that specific medication. It's not worth the risk to your health when reliable, verifiable options are almost certainly available to you. You can search this site for USA prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Protein or fat?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you're describing is indeed familiar to many in the Celiac community, especially in the early stages of healing. When the intestinal villi are damaged from Celiac disease, they struggle to properly digest and absorb fats, a condition known as bile acid malabsorption. This can cause exactly the kind of cramping and spasms you're seeing, as undigested fats can irritate the sensitive gut lining. It is highly plausible that her reactions to dairy and eggs are linked to their higher fat content rather than the proteins, especially since she tolerates lean chicken breast. The great news is that for many, this does improve with time. As her gut continues to heal on a strict gluten-free diet, her ability to produce the necessary enzymes and bile to break down fats should gradually return, allowing her to slowly tolerate a wider variety of foods. It's a slow process of healing, but your careful approach of focusing on low-fat, nutrient-dense foods like seeds and avocado is providing her system the best possible environment to recover. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: Thank you for sharing your story—it's a valuable insight for other parents navigating similar challenges.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.
