Yeast Sensitivity With Gluten Intolerance

[krishna]

I was wondering if anyone here is sensitive to yeast in food products? My doctor tested me for yeast and it came back negative but he still said that I could be feeling sick due to some yeast overgrowth which sets up a path for food particles to go straight into the blood stream... Does anyone know any info regarding this? or have had symptoms? I had some gluten free chips which supposedly had some yeast and I'm feeling terribly sick. Yeast was the only thing on the label which I am suspicious about.

Thanks!

Yeast makes me sick as well. I can't eat many of the Gluten-Free breads or doughnuts b/c of it. So yes, it can make you sick.

Baker's yeast in breads is totally different from 'yeast overgrowth' from Candida Albicans or other funguses in your intestines. However there is enough sensitivity to baker's yeast that Enterolab includes that in their stool tests for egg and soy allergy reactions. I also noticed yeast was tested in the ELISA (96 food) blood test panel. I don't personally have a yeast sensitivity, but some people do.

As far as candida, if your doctor gave you a stool test for that yeast infection and that test came back negative, you don't have an 'overgrowth'. However there are other ineffective candida tests which can produce false negatives. What your doc probably meant by "feeling sick due to some yeast overgrowth which sets up a path for food particles to go straight into the blood stream" is that intestinal infections can damage the intestinal lining enough to create 'leaky gut' syndrome. Leaky gut means that undigested proteins can leak through the intestinal wall into the blood, where our immune system may recognize them as foreign invaders, rather than food, and create antibodies. That process can create those delayed reaction (IgG mediated) allergies. That's a very simplified, paraphrased version of the actual immune process. So I suspect someone will disagree with my explanation. However, that might explain how you could continue to feel ill after testing negative for Candida.
