Guest guest Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Here's another perspective: My daughter is sensitive to baker's yeast, brewer's yeast, and nutritional yeast, plus mushrooms, some vinegars and some dried fruits. The word yeast refers to a whole slew of organisms; some will cause some people problems; others won't. What matters is how your daughter is affected. One possible course of action you might wish to try: eliminate ALL yeast and fungus from her diet (a pain, I assure you, until you adapt), then after she's " detoxed " for a few months, GRADUALLY add different types back and keep detailed records of physical and behavioral effects (it wouldn't hurt to do this all along, to have something to refer back to). You asked about protein: we have nuts, whole grains, and LOTS of canned beans! I have a soymilk maker that I use for making " milk " out of navy beans; it helps. Just to throw you, people with yeast issues often have sensitivities to the mold (alfatoxin?) in peanuts and pistachios....which my kid is ALSO sensitive to!
