Yeast extract
K M Wade replied to JoJo0611's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
It appears that you're confusing "yeast" with "yeast extract." Yeast extract is used in many commercially produced foods as a flavor enhancer. If the yeast extract is derived from wheat, then no, it must be avoided by celiacs. If, however, it is derived from corn, then yeast extract is safe for you to eat. -
The dermatitis herpetiformis totally disappeared after I stopped eating gluten, with no further recurrence, Yes, I do eat dairy, but no, I don't have eczema. Thank you. I'm always interested to learn new things.

The only thing that temporarily quelled the crazy itching for me was to rub ice cubes up & down my legs. It was shortly after that when I began a gluten-free diet, and the large patches of itchiness & small blisters began to go away.

I found that direct application of ice was a tremendous help in soothing the intense itching, something that the prescription anti-histamines failed to do. My rash began to subside as soon as I eliminated all Gluten from my diet.
