Super Sensitives Food Question

I have some good recipes calling for nutritional yeast. I realize that brewers yeast is a byproduct of the brewing industry and would obviously be off limits. So I don't mean brewer's yeast. But I am talking about nutritional yeast that is separately grown on a legal medium and should be gluten free, theoretically. I do not test sensitive to yeast. So I'm interested in using it for the B vitamins it contains as well.

Does anyone know a brand of nutritional yeast that is definitely gluten free, even made in a dedicated facility? I would especially be interested if anyone who does testing has actually tested any brands of it and had it test negative for gluten. It needs to be at a low ppm to work for me.

Thanks for your help! :)

From what I've read, the main reason for "nutritional yeast" is as a flavor enhancer. This is because it contains MSG (Monosodium Glutamate), a neurotoxic compound. Also, the products I've looked up apparently have the B vitamins added to them. I am guessing this is because the naturally occurring levels are so small, that it really wouldn't do any good.

IMHO, you'd be much better off skipping the yeast, and getting yourself a decent B-complex and separate sublingual methylcobalamin (B12) supplement.

Perhaps there are some naturally occuring msg issues in pure nutritional yeast that I haven't heard about. But from my studies and experience with health food stores, nutritional yeast has been used as a nutritional supplement for decades. The use of it to make foods taste good is a secondary use, to the best of my knowledge. The recipes I have are for fake cheese and cheeselike sauces. Nutritional yeast helps produce a "cheesy" taste. That's really my main reason for wanting to use it. If what you say is true, then it would certainly not be good. But I hadn't heard that.

Anyone else know about it? :)

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
