Nutritional Yeast

I've been wanting to branch out lately and try some recipes using nutritional yeast.....I saw a yummy macaroni and cheese recipe that I want to try. That is the one thing my kids really miss since going casein free a couple of years ago.

The only brand I can find at the health food stores though is Red Star, which is manufactured on the same lines as wheat products. My dd is super sensitive, so I can't take the chance. Does anyone know of any other brands that are gluten free? My google search kept showing Red Star, but are there any others?? Thanks!

While I don't have an answer to your specific question, I do know that there are recipes for cashew cheese which don't call for any yeast products at all. Have you tried one of these?

Here's one which I'm planning to try one of these days:

Cashew Cheese:

- 190 grams (1 1/2 cups) plain cashew nuts (not roasted or salted)

- 60 to 80 ml (1/4 to 1/3 cup) water

- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice or good vinegar

- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced

- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt

- freshly ground pepper

Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

Place the nuts in a salad bowl, cover with fresh water, and let stand for 2 hours.

Drain the nuts and place them in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Add 60 ml (1/4 cup) water and the rest of the ingredients, and mix until thoroughly pur

I use Gayelord Hauser's "Imported Brewers Yeast". It says "Gluten Free" on the back in tiny letters right above the nutritional info. They sell it at health food stores. It's made by Modern Products, Inc. Mequon, WI. www.modernfearn.com

According to their label, it is grown on beet molasses. It's great!

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to let people know that Bob's Red Mill make safe nutritional yeast. I came looking to see if I can eat it at all and not only can I, but I "heart" Bob's Red Mill!

There's also Bragg's Nutritional Yeast.

 

What confuses me is whether nutritional yeast is a healthy/safe product. I've been reading that it may be similar to monosodium glutamate, which we know is not a healthy food additive (and yet it still is used a lot!)

 

Does anyone know whether nutritional yeast is a good choice as a "cheese-free" topping? We've been using it recently on top of pasta, and we all like it. I use a mixture of half nutritional yeast and half nuts (pecans or walnuts are top choices).

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
