There has been much more research on the SCD since I wrote this post. Seattle Children's Hospital found it improved the microbiome. Also, research SIBO, as it can cause similar issues.<br /><br />I had made great success with the SCD in 2008/2009. I was able to expand my diet. I lost my health from 2016-2018 due to low level chronic carbon monoxide poisoning, which left me with numerous health issues and high inflammatory markers. I was starting to have food sensitivities again, bloating, and elevated ASCA. I was then dx with SIBO. Treating SIBO and going back to full SCD lowered my CRP form 21 to 1.2 (and .9 another time). My chronic fatigue improved by about 30%.<br /> https://www.seattlechildrens.org/about/stories/dietary-therapy-for-ibd/Traceehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687238554009622358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570351164587221374.post-77158277542848382652021-08-25T10:31:20.573-07:002021-08-25T10:31:20.573-07:00I landed on this page while searching for yeast an...I landed on this page while searching for yeast and ASCA antibodies.

However, one particular SLS-free toothpaste, named Biotene, does prevent most of the sores. I also tolerate the one tooth powder I've tried, Dabur Red.<br /><br />Daily flossing and mouthwash (Biotene) also help. Very recently I've started experimenting with "oil pulling", which may be helpful and certainly is not doing any obvious harm.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00182184110030647063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570351164587221374.post-5532747921534121382014-10-13T08:08:14.722-07:002014-10-13T08:08:14.722-07:00I'm jumping on this thread a bit late, but wan...I'm jumping on this thread a bit late, but wanted to comment about vinegar. There are a lot of mixed camps out there. The candida books say that it's good to eat things like apple cider vinegar, miso, and fermented foods. They are addressing a gut problem with candida overgrowth, and NOT a true yeast allergy. A true yeast-free diet does not line up with a candida diet, even though it is often promoted as such. When I say 'yeast-free' here, I meant allergies to multiple kinds of yeasts, like baker's and brewers. <br /><br />People who are allergic to yeast have a different set of foods to avoid than those on an anti-candida diet. I was diagnosed with a severe yeast allergy - both skin and blood tests showed it. I already knew it was an issue because I had major heart problems if I ate anything with yeast extract and hadn't been able to stomach bread since I was a child because of the yeasty smell. I also had lots of testing done for candida overgrowth and my gut health was in really good order - no problems with candida. So I have a "true" yeast allergy but no problems with candida. I've discovered most of the websites out here (NOT this one, by the way, it's very well done!) use the word 'yeast allergy' interchangeably with candida problems, and I believe it does a real disservice to people trying to figure out what to eat to be yeast-free. Nobody wants to say they have a yeast infection, so they generally just say they have a yeast allergy when they don't, and then the misinformation starts...<br /><br />My doctor, who has done a lot of research on yeast allergies, told me that all vinegars harbor yeast and need to be avoided, with the exception of distilled vinegar. This is because vinegar is fermented with yeast (same for miso and other fermented foods, which are staples of the candida diet). All vinegars, especially apple cider vinegar with the mother (it's the worse) contain yeast remnants. Apparently these are brewer's yeast remnants. They may not be living or whole any more but can still cause a reaction. The distillation process removes these remnants. It is the same for wines - they contain yeast, except for champagne (which is distilled). I was one of those people who ate miso and apple cider vinegar daily thinking I was helping myself. I can't tell you how good I felt after I stopped eating them. It was so much easier to wake up in the morning. Soy sauce (fermented soy) in this list of things to avoid. Grapes and any dried fruit are also typically covered with yeast. The white powdery stuff on grape skin - that's yeast. It ends up in wines and vinegars too. It may be that it's a wild yeast, but I was told not to eat grapes or raisins either. <br /><br />My doctor also said that in her research, there's not a connection between yeast allergy and candida. Phew. But there is a clear connection between celiac disease and yeast allergy.<br /><br />There is a silver lining here. My doctor explained that there is a difference between cultured foods and fermented foods. Cultured foods are good for your gut, and generally safe if you are allergic to yeast (unless there is a contamination problem at the place that does the work). Culturing is done by bacteria. Fermentation is done by mold, or yeast. Yogurts are cultured, and sauerkraut is cultured. I can't remember if kefir is fermented or cultured.<br /><br />There is a lot of mislabeling out there - some things say they're fermented because it's now the big buzz word, but in truth they aren't - they're just cultured. Other products claim they are 'yeast-free' when they have apple cider vinegar. <br /><br />For those allergic to baker's yeast, if you are also allergic to brewer's yeast - the candida diet should be taken with a grain of salt. Research fermentation and brewer's yeast. <br /><br />Thanks for a very interesting article!bayolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01199708389494009940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570351164587221374.post-84860189050568222452013-09-05T15:29:01.571-07:002013-09-05T15:29:01.571-07:00Thanks Brandon, I have discovered the Vitamin C an...Thanks Brandon, I have discovered the Vitamin C and daily B complex also helps.

I was getting terrible canker sores that would last 14 days and would really knock me out. Anytime I accidentally bit my lip or cheek it would turn into a bad canker sore.<br /><br />As I've eliminated foods with gluten and yeast (citric acid, btw) I've also found a few things that helped control my canker sores to the point of almost not noticing (I'll list what I've done, which may or may not have played a direct role):<br /><br />1) supplementing with Vitamin C at higher levels when I get the canker sore. My lymph nodes would get sore/swollen when I would get canker sores, which would lead to headaches. Supplementing with 5grams or more of Vitamin C helped. For the most recent occurrence I took about 20g/day (see Titrating Vitamin C at Bowel Tolerance)<br /><br />2) Supplementing with B-Complex daily (or 2x/day). I read things that suggested canker sores might be related to vitamin B deficiencies. I was taking it for other reasons, but have definitely noticed a dramatic reduction in the time it takes to heal the sores and how painful they are. This wasn't the only variable, but something to consider.<br /><br />3) Black licorice root extract is also helpful a few times a day on the sore.<br />Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15693380017090778540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570351164587221374.post-41273140122054050932011-08-19T10:47:38.239-07:002011-08-19T10:47:38.239-07:00Thanks Jenny, I will definately check out your blo...Thanks Jenny, I will definately check out your blog.Mrs. Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144247274657295271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570351164587221374.post-27593490443471137002011-08-17T18:55:55.573-07:002011-08-17T18:55:55.573-07:00My 5 y/o just tested positive for an allergy to Ba...My 5 y/o just tested positive for an allergy to Baker's Yeast- [and now we are testing my younger son as well-He has 15-20 allergens already!] Love your article.

I still had high yeast antibodies on my ELISA IgG food allergy panel a year after the dietary changes (although I was not tested before the dietary changes). However, I can tell you how much better I felt. More energy, I quit having severe throat ulcers and over time my immune system seemed to get better, less susceptibility to every bug that came along. I also had to give up the gluten for Celiac's as well, however, a typical gluten-free diet can also bring on some canker sores and fatigue, so I have to eat minimal gf grains (And even better when I can avoid them altogether) and severly limit sugary sweets. I'll get retested this spring and I'm curious to see if my yeast antibodies have gone down.Mrs. Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02144247274657295271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570351164587221374.post-25635088780627378152011-01-28T15:35:56.511-08:002011-01-28T15:35:56.511-08:00Does removing yeast from your diet reduce your ASC...Does removing yeast from your diet reduce your ASCA antibody levels (assuming you have high levels)?

After 5 years of no Crohn's symptoms, I got vaccinated for 7 things (including the HepA/B twinrx vaccine) in one day as preparation for an overseas trip. 1 day later I was in the worst flare of my life. Since I had moved 2 years before, I had to find a new gastroenterologist, etc... And I demanded the patented ASCA (and other antibodies) test to prove I actually had Crohn's. My ASCa numbers were off the charts. I mentioned to my gastro about bakers yeast being in the Hep vaccine, and he went on a tangent about how safe vaccines were, and I just had a crohnic condition. Then he said he had never read any data to suggest a yeast allergy contributed to Crohn's. I was like "Ummm, do you know what ASCA stands for?"<br />I tested negative for the celiac antibody, but I rarely eat bread and processed foods anymore. I will also be staying away from vaccines for a very long time. After suffering for 3 months and losing 10 lbs, Humira got the antibodies under control, and I was able to wean myself off of the shots after about 6 months. I have been symptom free and med free for about 9 months, 100% diet/lifestyle controlled.Amy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15388042467614714188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570351164587221374.post-28245099311798442632009-09-20T10:21:58.806-07:002009-09-20T10:21:58.806-07:00Great post!

There are a few diets that are bakers-yeast free and may be a good recipe source for you. The Specific Carbohydrate Diet and The Paleo Diet. I think the GAPS diet might also be as well. Candida diets are also bakers yeast free. http://www.elanaspantry.com is a great website for recipes. Kim at her site http://thefoodallergycoach.blogspot.com/ may be able to answer questions you may have as well as yeast-free recipes. As for cookbooks, any Specific Carbohydrate Diet books, "Special Diet Solutions" by Carol Fenster (out of print but you can get it used on Amazon), "The Candida Albicans Yeast-Free Cookbook" by Pat Connolly, and once you are familiar with what you can/can't have LowCarb Diet cookbooks may be helpful, I love Dana Carpenders "500 Low Carb Recipes".
