Is there yeast in cheese? We are allergic to yeast and the doctor is saying don't eat any cheese. Why??

Question

I did have testing and both my son and I were diagnosed with a severe allergy to yeast. I just did not understand how this related to cheese.

Answer 1

Yeasts and fungi are used in many food preparation processes, and can be introduced into foods inadvertently. Brewer's and baker's yeasts are two strains of the organism: mostly people who react to one will react to the other. Yeast and wheatgerm are the two major sources of B-group vitamins. Persons who react to yeast may also react to mushrooms and truffles. No list can be comprehensive but yeast is certainly found in - Bakery products. Alcoholic beverages. Other beverages Citrus fruit drinks and juices. Cereals. Condiments. Dairy products All cheese including cottage cheese and cheese spreads, buttermilk, milk enriched with vitamins. Fungi. Meat products Hamburgers, sausages and cooked meats made with bread or breadcrumbs. Yeast extracts. Vitamins All B-vitamin preparations are likely to be derived from yeast unless otherwise stated, but most manufacturers do make some B-vitamin preparations free of yeast. Some selenium-rich foods. Mould foods. Sugar foods Sugar, sucrose, fructose, maltose, lactose, glycogen, glucose milk, sweets, chocolate, sweet biscuits, cakes, candies, cookies, puddings, desserts, canned food, packaged food, hamburgers, honey, mannitol, sorbitol, galactose, monosaccharides, polysaccharides, date sugar, turbinado sugar, molasses, maple syrup, most bottled juices, all soft drinks, tonic water, milkshakes, raisins, dried apricots, dates, prunes, dried figs, other dried fruit.
If you eat bread, or any of the items I have mentioned, - not to mention all the others that I have not mentioned, - then it is probable that you do not have a yeast allergy.
You would be advised to contact your doctor to arrange a test to identify your allergy.

Answer 2

There are certain molds used in making cheese. And molds are somewhat related to yeast.

Answer 3

Dairy products increase mucous in the body, which then can increase yeast in the body. Most people are allergic to dairy, we just don't recognize it.

"Dairy milk has an image of being the perfect food but it is perfect only when fed from the mother to her infant. A young child eventually loses the enzyme necessary to digest milk (dairy), and after this stage, milk becomes acid and mucous-forming, capable of upsetting normal bowel flora and preventing the absorption of vitamins and minerals. Many individuals develop allergies to milk and its products, and they are often unaware of this until milk (dairy) is removed from the diet."

Answer 4

many ingredients that are in things arent listed becasue they have a certain percentage- its quite possible that cheese could have traces of yeast in it-
although im allergic to yeast and i eat cheese- are there anyother allergies you have?
