I'm finding it is almost impossible to avoid yeast in my diet. It seems like it an ingredient in almost everything. Any helpful hints will be apprec

I know it's hard in the beginning, but there's a lot of things you will need to avoid eating ALL TOGETHER for at least 3 months. No sugars, no flour, no processed carbs. But, there's a lot of things that you CAN eat - you just have to make an adjustment. There's a book here on Amazon that I'd recommend - The Candida Cure. It has recipes in there that you could follow. Fortunately, I don't have a candida problem anymore! I wish you good luck!

I am not at home to view this, but I feel pretty confident that it does contain the yeast. Hope this helps with your decision.

According to the instructions, NO. It is not to be used in recipes requiring yeast. So I haven't even tried it.I did just make muffins and used the gluten flour instead of wheat flour and the muffins are great.

It is definitely NOT yeast, it's a baking powder-type product that I have used in cakes and quickbreads, such as cornbread, but definitely not for yeast bread applications.

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.

Elaine I have read the product label and it states that Red Yeast Rice is carefully produced to avoid the presence of citrinin, so if you can trust the label it does not have this in this product.

from what I understand, all yeast sold in the United States is gluten free, with one exception, and that is brewer's yeast. Google it to reassure yourself

Yes! I love this yeast, I'm a pretty serious (home) baker. I'm very particular, and I mostly bake with whole wheat flour. It is the best yeast I've come across. It works so very well!

I used Cider Vinegar the two times we made it while we were developing our own bread mix. Not sure regular vinegar would give the same chemical effect needed for Gluten Free. I have only seen Cider Vinegar used in Gluten Free. I have read that the vinegar breaks down alkaline in Gluten Free so the Yeast will work properly. I have also read that some people use white vinegar and add a pinch of sugar for the loss of sweetness in the vinegar change. You can always e-mail Bob's Red Mill on there website.

I put the yeast in warm water with a pinch of sugar and a little flour. When the yeast begins bubbling, you can add remaining ingredients. I strongly recommend Saf-instant yeast which is available at Amazon. It never fails; I make more than 50 loaves of bread a year and never have had a failed batch with Saf yeast.

Hi, Charyl! We have used Nutritional Yeast for years for flavoring. It tastes kind of like cheese so you sprinkle it on things like baked potatoes, veggies, etc. You can also make a nice cheese sauce for your macaroni noodles. Most folks who use it are vegan. The yeast used for bread is baking yeast. You can find it in any grocery store. Make sure the ingredients say only "yeast" with no other additives. That is the healthiest kind. God bless- AMR

Actually I have not heard about pearls causing a yeast infection. Acidophilus pearls are bacterium and yeast is a fungus. That is as far as I can answer. I hope this information is good, cause I sure dont want Yeast infections. Do you have any information?

Alcohol cancels out the benefits of Gluten Cutter for me. I've had no luck in that arena but in regards to food containing gluten this has been great!

It is true those with gluten challenges should avoid this. Didn't know until I learned it the hard way...dermatitis on face, chest, back, and elbows :(

I don't know it it would help. I think its very likely it would help since it helps flush out bacteria, it doesn't hurt to try since its also harmful. Have you seen a naturopath? you might have candidiasis, I had systemic candidiasis and it was giving me all sort of problems and once candida is fixed everything else went away, even irritable bowel syndrome. I advise you to find a reputable naturopath and mention candidiasis I am almost sure that's what you have and be prepared if you really want to get better, you'll have to do candida diet that means no starchy foods and coffee, flours etc but you will be healed from the root.

Yes it is different. Active yeast is used in bread to make it rise. Nutritional yeast is a good cheese alternative for vegans and does not have active yeast. It is a good source of protein and has a cheesy taste.

For that I'd use nutritional yeast. This has other added ingredients and is a little pricey for sprinkling imo.
