Guest guest Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 My daughter is the one with low iron and I am going back to the MD next week. I have been adding brewers yeast to some of her food as it has a lot of iron. or so I think. Is this the same as nutritional yeast? smartgirl27us [thesmartfamily3] Tuesday, April 08, 2003 2:39 PM Re: tofu mac and cheese We just do the simplest thing with it and sprinkle it on spaghetti and just the other day I had vege meatballs for the first time and made a " meatball " sandwich with sauce and nutritional yeast (delic!). , " Robin Allen " <woodsprite24@h...> wrote: and I have just > purchased nutritional yeast for the first time and could use some guidance.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2003 Report Share Posted April 10, 2003 No - they are different. I dont really know anything about brewers yeast. But, remember as others said that vitamin C is important to aid in iron absorption. , " Karyn " <karyn@3...> wrote: > My daughter is the one with low iron and I am going back to the MD next > week.

Nutritional yeast does have a lot of iron, but she'll have to eat a lot of it to make a significant difference in her hemoglobin count. You can make yeast gravies and yeast " cheese " sauces with nutritional yeast, but not Brewer's. ~Doh ------- Those who make peaceful revolution impossible make violent revolution inevitable. ~ John F.

Red Star Vegetarian Support Formula nutritional yeast does; most other varieties (ever other Red Star varieties) do not. My understanding is that brewer's yeast is a by-product of beer fermentation. It's very nutritious but has a more bitter taste than nutritional yeast, which is grown specifically for human consumption. ---- Patricia Bullington-McGuire <patricia The brilliant Cerebron, attacking the problem analytically, discovered three distinct kinds of dragon: the mythical, the chimerical, and the purely hypothetical.

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2003 Report Share Posted April 13, 2003 Hi everyone. I was wondering how you go about getting your child's iron level checked? What exactly do they have to do? I have my son on a vitamin with iron added and I never knew or thought that he wouldnt' have enough iron. Are there any side effects to that?
