Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Warning! This may be a little " yucky. " I am having a severe skin reaction to something. I itch like mad over most of my torso and arms, and have small, red, dry bumps all over one arm. I also have some ugly lesions on other areas (I am pretty sure these are tiny infections from my scratching). The only dietary change I have made is adding Red Star Nutrional Yeast. Has anyone had reactions to this product? There are other possible triggers (e.g. NSAIDS), but I thought I'd run this by the group. For the record, I am gluten and casein intolerant. I am pretty confident that I have not had any accidental gluten exposure. Thanks, in advance, Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 This may be a reaction to the niacin in the yeast. There are many mild to severe reactions that can occur with this B vitamin. Put niacin in your search engine. If you are taking drugs, the reaction can change. You may need to adjust when you eat the yeast in relation to taking your drugs. I had a niacin flush when I first started taking vitamins many years ago. I had to back off the amount I was taking and start again slowly. HTH, Carrol , " drbhare " <drbhare wrote: > > Warning!

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Barbara, I know any number of allergists who say that the ingestion of yeast is an invitation to a serious fungal infection. We all have fungi as part of our flora but it is generally already excessive, as women frequently demonstrate with vaginal and urinary tract infections, skin lesions, etc. Candida and related organisms feed off carbohydrates (particularly simple ones) and a high carb diet will increase the food supply to them and create any number of problems. The medical advice I have received (you must get medical consultation) is never to use yeast as a source of protein or vitamins since there are other sources that don't offer this serious down-side. The fact that your skin problems coincide with this known effect of yeast indicates you should pursue the connection medically, but do stop taking it right away until you know. Some rashes are hives, indicating allergic responses that can be very serious. The mucosal lining in your body hosts fungi and if amounts are very high, you can wind up with GI tract and respiratory effects. Treatment usually involves stopping all sugars, reducing simple carbs, reducing fruit intake (fructose), increasing protein intake and, if this doesn't work, antifungal drugs of various types. Medical supervision is necessary in such cases since the drugs can stress the liver and require monitoring. As fungi die off, the waste product accumulations usually make the person feel bad (called a 'die off' reaction) for days to weeks, depending upon severity and the manner in which it is treated. Hope you find some good medical advice to investigate this problem and feel better soon! LaVonne >I am having a severe skin reaction to something.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Yes. It is. Dr William Crook, author of The Yeast Connect, Dr. Michael Murray, N.D., and numerous other authorities on candida albicans have definitely asked patients to avoid yeast in any form - brewing, baking nutritional. There has been a small bit of debate regarding this; but, many, many people react dermatogically to nutritional yeast. I, myself am a N.D., although not practicing right now (I am involved in a research project) and I would never, ever suggest that candida patients go any where near nutritional yeast.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Types of Yeast Nutritional yeast <http://www.bulkfoods.com/yeast.htm> Vegetarian Support Formula™ by Red Star® (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is a primary grown nutritional yeast grown specifically for nutritional benefits. Active dry yeast <http://www.bulkfoods.com/active_yeast.htm> is made from cream yeast. It is a raising agent used in baked goods. Candida yeast infection (Candida Albicans) is a body yeast infection. Red Star®'s nutritional yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) is not found to be a cause of yeast or candida infections. This info is from http://www.bulkfoods.com/yeast.htm Personally, I've had a problem with nutritional yeast, because I got it from a bulk bin that I think was contaminated (people were using the same scoops for flour as for this yeast), but I didn't think of it until I was home and had already consumed some. But nutritional yeast itself doesn't seem to aggravate candida infections. From another site: *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* (i.e., nutritional yeast)...is not related to Candida albicans fungus, which causes yeast infection.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 I really appreciate the feedback. If anyone else has any input, please chime in! :-) I stopped the NSAIDS a week ago and still itch. (I had injured my arm and luckily it is feeling better). I see a doctor tomorrow. I do not have health insurance, which means I really have reached my misery-quotient if I am willing to pay out-of- pocket! Barbara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This theory is supported by Dr. Elson Hass,M.D. Ph.D author of Staying Healthy With The Seasons and several other noted nutritional books and of UCSF's Integrative Heath Unit suggests the same. As does, Dr. Ralph Golan, M.D. author of Optimal Wellness and Dr James Gordon former director of NIH Division of Integrative Studies. Nutritional Yeast is grown on molasses and is a known allergen and that will exacerbate any candida overgrowth despite what manufacturers may say. It sounds as though you are having a profoundly allergic reaction and I would suggest a natural antihistimine to relieve the itching - Quercetin will help as will the Oil of Wild Oregano I suggested previously. Benedryl will help will the symptoms, as well. Many people are sensitive to the mycotoxins produced by any yeasts. Take care. Shen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Some medications contain gluten, so if you started taking something, that could be the problem. I'd eliminate the yeast and take probiotics to help restore your system. If you continue having the problem, check into your medications. I've been learning about homeopathy, which is a wonderful alternative to traditional medications and amazingly works better than any mainstream drug I've ever taken. The problem with most traditional homeopathic remedies is that they are made with lactose tablets. There are remedies though that are called cell salts, and the homeopathic remedies are added to salts rather than lactose and are supposedly more effective because they are claimed to work on a cellular level, helping heal the root cause of illness. I don't know how true all the biological claims are, but I do know the remedies work, if your interested in trying something more natural. Aloe gel will help your itch as well if you need something soothing until it clears up. Good luck! On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 7:43 PM, drbhare <drbhare wrote: > Warning! This may be a little " yucky.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Thank you for that information! I know I should be on the Candida diet, since I have all the symptoms, but I'm just not willing to give up more foods. Knowing that I can still use nutritional yeast is great.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Thanks again to everyone who responded. I saw the doctor today who believes my reaction is to the NSAID, not the nutritional yeast. I'll avoid both for a while and reintroduce the nutritional yeast after the symptoms have subsided. Merci!

This may be a little " yucky. " I am having a severe skin reaction to something. I itch like mad over most of my torso and arms, and have small, red, dry bumps all over one arm. I also have some ugly lesions on other areas (I am pretty sure these are tiny infections from my scratching). The only dietary change I have made is adding Red Star Nutrional Yeast. Has anyone had reactions to this product? There are other possible triggers (e.g. NSAIDS), but I thought I'd run this by the group. For the record, I am gluten and casein intolerant. I am pretty confident that I have not had any accidental gluten exposure.
