Guest guest Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 Hi everyone I have a yeast allergy/sensitivity and I was wondering what " safe " foods to eat are. For the longest time, I was supposedly allergic to wheat & milk and I finally found out it's actually yeast. And it was so much easily when I was just avoiding milk and wheat, and I'm having trouble with avoiding yeast. It seems like *everything* has it, and there's no way to know what does and doesn't have it? I've been able to find a couple of companies that have completely yeast-free bread products (found some bread, rolls, biscotti, etc) but other than that, I'm pretty lost. Is there anything else I need to do, besides cut out yeast? The problem causes bumps/swelling in my mouth (very slow to go away), hives, and right now I have oral thrush. I'm taking an anti-fungal, and it gets better pretty fast when I eat yeast-free products. But the minute I eat the tiniest amount of yeast, my mouth swells up again. I also have IBS so my diet is pretty restricted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Yup, it's true, most everything has yeast in it which is ridiculous. There are tons more products that are yeast free now then there were several years ago when I first found out about Candida & the diet. Have you tried looking online? I eat rice cheese, rice pasta & we have yeast free coconut chews, but they are local. If you are in the States, there should a ton more available to you. I'd also recommend going to your vegetarian & holistic fairs. You will find people marketing their products. Good luck with it & I'd stay off the wheat & milk as well. Both are pretty lousy even if you don't have Candida. You can drink soy or rice milk, but keep in mind that rice milk has little to no protein in it.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 Yep, I've tried looking online. I found a couple companies that make yeast-free (and are free of most common food allergens) breads, rolls, crackers, etc. My mother managed to get a loaf of yeast-free bread at the grocery store, and even though it has wheat - it doesn't bother me at all. I don't have the URL handy, but all of their products are completely yeast-free. I also found another that has several breads w/o added oil, sweeteners, flour, salt yeast or preservatives. I found a 3 part list of stuff to avoid, limit, and eat unlimited amounts of. It's really restrictive tho. And I've read that you're supposed to completely avoid anything with sugar and really limit your grains. This is just so confusing. It was so much easier when I thought I was allergic to wheat and milk. > Yup, it's true, most everything has yeast in it which is ridiculous. > > There are tons more products that are yeast free now then there were several years ago when I first found out about Candida & the diet. > > Have you tried looking online? > > I eat rice cheese, rice pasta & we have yeast free coconut chews, but they are local.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I don't know, I never heard about this restriction to grains as those are very healthy for you. I eat tons of brown rice. Sugar is the hardest thing to eliminate, but it's really not good for anyone period. It lowers our immune system. I'm glad you are getting somewhere : ) Oh you can use Lundbergs Brown Rice Syrup I think. I didn't like it years ago, but I haven't tried it in a while. Good luck : ) yeast -free foods > > > Hi everyone > > I have a yeast allergy/sensitivity and I was wondering what " safe " > foods to eat are.

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I was kind of iffy when I read about it. I read in several places that you can only eat certain vegtables, poultry and meat (except smoked or pickled), certain nuts, beans/legumes and the only fruit being lemons, limes, and cranberries. It also said that you start out with no grains at all and eventually restrict to 1 or 2 servings. And another place I read that you should eat grains as long as you're not allergic, but to also be familar with wheat alternatives. But everywhere I've read that it's best to limit fruits because of the natural sugars. But I need to know if it's okay to eat several servings of grains a day, as long as they're yeast-free. Thanks for the suggestion about the brown rice syrup. I'll definitely check it out. I'm also in the process of checking out supplements. food. > > Yup, it's true, most everything has yeast in it which is > ridiculous. > > > > There are tons more products that are yeast free now then there > were several years ago when I first found out about Candida & the > diet. > > > > Have you tried looking online? > > > > I eat rice cheese, rice pasta & we have yeast free coconut chews, > but they are local.
