Candida concern re the yeast - isn't the first ingredient the largest amount of all listed ingredients? Isn't this a no-no for Candida people?

This is nutritional yeast. If you have a question about a specific ingredient and your propensity to develop "yeast infections" consult your physician or dietician to determine which foods are not appropriate for you.

The manufacturer does not recommend using their product in breads containing yeast. See www.cup4cup.com/faq

I had never thought about gluten in the yeast. We actually add gluten to our bread for better texture. I looked on the package and the ingredients are lilted as: yeast, sorbitan, monostearate, & ascorbic acid.

Hi Janet J. Thank you for pointing out that we left that ingredient off the list on the side of the jar. We will update the next label to include it. For now it is on the front of the label along the bottom list of ingredients. Thanks again, Trader Rich

Looking at the ingredients label it says, "No yeast, corn, wheat, soy, sugar or other sweeteners, or artificial colors, flavors or preservatives." Hope this helps. I just received this bottle recently.

I've only had good results with this yeast. I'm not an expert and I don't know how much you know, so I'll keep it simple. Make sure your water is 105-115 when adding to yeast with sugar to activate. Let dough rise for longer times before baking. Otherwise good product

There is an information that people take Xylitol instead of sugar to keep yeast from growing in the gut ( sugar feeds yeast). However this is nasal spray-I haven't heard of anyone having fungal infection in the nose but if that's the case I would suggest to first address it with prescription medication-all fungus tends to be incredibly stubborn and difficult to threat even with conventional medication I would not rely on Xylitol to help.

I read though the ingredients several times to be sure, but I didn't see yeast in any form. There is soy in several forms, potato flakes, ground veggies and sea salt. not even anything I can't pronounce and have no idea what they are.

Unfortunately, I cannot help; I purchased this product and nowhere in the bottle does it state it is yeast free, you can call The Synergy Company, directly, at 800 723.0277; they are very helpful.

As far as I know, this product does not have fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS). Thus far my boy has been doing quite well on this product. The dark rust stains under his paws, around his eyes and mouth have also gone away. It is an indication to me that the candida is gone or, it is effectively be controlled by the probiotic.

It even has some yeast in it to keep yeast-eating bacteria alive and fit for fight in your gut. I am guessing apart from making the powder more palatable, the sugar also lures the yeast that's in your body. I like to look at things from the positive side :), but yeah I'm totally guessing.

Why won't they include an ingredients' list? That makes me suspicious right there. I don't think it is any kind of a business secret as someone wanting to make a competitive product would hire people to analyse the ingredients and identify them. I think they don't list the ingredients for consumers because they don't want us to know. And don't fool yourself that you there are no adverse effects when you use things like this.

Bread machine recipies work out fine, but I only use the slightly larger whole wheat yeast and no the regular yeasts. Also have to be sure to balance the ph when using rye - hence the bit or orange peel and bit of apple cider vinegar.

Not really. Yeast contains a lot of glutamic acid, a precursor to MSG - but so do tomatos, cheese, meat and etc. So, is that bad for your health? Probably not.

I forgot to mention that the packets do have a Best used by date..I've never had a fermentation problem as long as I paid attention to the alcohol tolerance of the yeast and my specific gravity / total alcohol target.
