Yeast-Free Living - Should I Cut Out Gluten As Well?
If you have recently started on a yeast free diet or are thinking of starting one, you may also be wondering about gluten. You've probably heard the term "gluten free diet", and you wonder whether it applies to your own situation. Many people who avoid yeast also avoid gluten as well. But do you have to avoid gluten just because you're avoiding yeast?
Well, the short answer is no, because yeast and gluten are two different things, and are therefore two different food intolerances. A particular food can contain gluten without containing yeast. For example pasta, which is made from wheat but is free from the yeast that causes bread to rise.
However, the truth is, many special health foods that are gluten free are also yeast free. Health food companies probably do this so that their special allergy-free foods will appeal to as many people as possible. So rather than making a load of yeast-free products and also making a load of gluten free products, they just create a load of yeast AND gluten free products. Also, for me personally, I find that I am most sensitive when I eat food that contains both. So it's much easier just to look for foods that are both yeast and gluten free.
Also, in addition to this, if your body is sensitive to yeast then there is also a chance that it may be sensitive to gluten as well, so to be safe if may be best to just look for foods and recipes that exclude them both. This is quite easy to do, once you get yourself into the mind set of buying special "free-from" foods in health food shops.
There are many gluten and yeast free breads and bread mixes on the market these days. Obviously, they don't taste quite the same as normal bread, but you can soon get used to them. Food, like a lot of things in life, is largely down to what you happen to be used to. - 17274
