Yeast Free Diet - Why a yeast free diet?

Yeast is an active bacterium that is used in many foods in the U.S. and around the world. It leavens bread, ferments beers and wines, curdles and ages cheeses, and many other roles in food production. However, pathogens in yeast are capable of building up in the body and having minor to moderate harmful effects on the skin, lungs, and other organs. Thus, many people sensitive to yeast pathogens must be prescribed a yeast free diet.

Are yeast free diets healthy and necessary?

Yeast free diets are comprised of many proteins and leafy vegetables and very few sugars or breads. Lean meats are yeast free naturally, and if prepared properly without breading or oils make for an excellent yeast free choice. Eggs, chicken, beef, pork, mutton, veil, and many other meats are all free of any yeast whatsoever. Leafy greens, such as broccoli, spinach, and brussels sprouts are all also great yeast free options.

However, sugars and some starches must be strictly avoided in a yeast free diet, as yeast bacteria content is extremely high. Almost all store bought bread is leavened with an enormous amount of active yeast bacteria. Sugary foods like fruit juices and ice cream must be avoided, as active yeast bacteria are present even after their manufacture.

Yeast free diets may seem limiting at first, especially when one learns of yeast’s presence in a major portion of the daily diet, anywhere from a slice of toast in the morning to a bottle of beer in the evening. But there are many healthy alternatives that do not skimp on taste and yet are appropriate in a yeast free diet.
