Re: Re: are all yeasts bad?

Nanci,

Nutritional yeast is deactivated yeast, usually S. cerevisiae (baker's yeast/ brewer's yeast), and can be used as dietary supplements for proteins and vitamin B complex.

S. boulardii is live yeast, and is a non-pathogenic, non-colonizing baker's yeast. It is used to combat Candida overgrowth.

I tested my son for IgG ELISA food sensitivity. He was allergic to baker's yeast and brewer's yeast at level 3 on the scale of 1- 4, 4 being the most severe. He is allergic to S. cerevisiae and does not tolerate S. boulardii.

Is S. Boulardii the same as nutritional yeast?Did you do allergy tests to check for yeast allergy? Or is positive response to probiotics considered evidence for yeast allergy?Nanci>> Nutritional yeasts are quite beneficial, providing one is not allergic to yeasts. My son is allergic to both baker's yeast and brewer's yeast. He cannot tolerate yeast supplement such as S.
