Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I tested very positive to baker's and brewer's yeast on Igg and Ige blood tests. My allergist says it is indicative of mold allergy especially since I have been off of these products hatve been out of my diet for over a year. I can not toleratete the smell of beer at all. maaaazz <julenemccurry@...> wrote: And I thought I was bad! I react only when I'm in the vicinity (like when I enter a building with a bad basement). However, I also react to sourdough or yeasted breads, rolls, whatever that are rising. That is one unpopular opinion - and it's really not the smell that bothers me, but just that my lungs tighten and hurt, same with rising bread as in moist bathrooms! It must be that yeast and molds are similar? Now how many people hate the smell of baking bread besides me!? Anyways, it appears that former vegetarians seem to be most succeptible, or those who diet, or those who ate low-fat style for a while. I'd love to hear other peoples observations on the diet/allergy topic. I do seem to handle reactions better after eating a good filling meal, with plenty of fat in it, and I'm not talking liquid vegetable oils, but good solid lard, beef fat, coconut oil, eggs, whatever. Cheese unfortunately doesn't seem to make a meal solid enough all the time, I need some meat once every day or so. I'm maybe 130 - 135 lbs, and not physically real active, so I don't need a lot to satisfy me (1/3 maybe of a good rare steak is enough, and the rest gets eaten by every one else!). Another observation is that certain natural smells actually open up my lungs, a neighbor's secret horse hoof creme opens them right up, but other essential oil blends have done that, too. I don't know what was the ingredient that actually did it, but I should look into it. Or maybe just convince the neighbors to sell me some creme, even though I don't have any horses! If desperate, you could try acupunture or sauna, at least neither would have any effects like all the drugs that are tried! Good Luck! J > > Can someone please help?
