Baker's yeast

I found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-saccharomyces_cerevisiae_antibodies (I know it's only wiki)

And and older post https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=17&m=1744043

No news at are really fresh though, :(

(If it's would be true I would like to have a cure that stop eating things with levure ! Adios bread, adios cake, farewell BEER! :( )

To answer your first question, I don't think it change something to eat some or not, since it just involve the antibodies in your body, once you've develop them, they're there for good anyway,

Sorry if it's a silly question, but what is the Prometheus test?

If you test positive on an IgG test for yeast, then you need to avoid consuming yeasts, foods rich in yeast like fermented foods, and fungi like mold,(cheeses,) and mushrooms.

The Prometheus tests include IgG and IgA sensitivities to yeast and IgG sensitivity to the flagellum of a bacteria. There is a relationship between having these sensitivities and a person's likelihood of having Crohn's and possibly intestinal permeability.

IgG sensitivity is an allergic reaction that takes place over a few hours or days rather than instantly, like happens with the kind of allergic reaction most people are familiar with. If you are IgG positive for yeast and eat some, you may not react right away so it is hard to tell what is causing the problem. In my case eating yeast made me gassy and bloated, plus gave me other IBS symptoms like D and having to go to the bathroom all day long. My whole day was about farting and pooping I feel so much better since having an ELISA test, (which in my case identified IgG antibodies in a few foods including yeasts), and cutting out those foods.

Most drs, even GI's don't seem to know about or be on board with testing for IgG antibodies. You can ask a naturopath for an IgG test, US Biotek is a reputable lab that makes test kits that include tests for many foods. Wishing you the best!

wild - just had a nautropath blood test and yeast was off the charts...could be something to that!

I must admit I haven't taken yeast out yet - I was feeling doubtful about the naturopath tests after doing some research - but after all this info I'm willing to give it a try! I was also sensitive to a couple other things but yeast was a severe reaction and off the charts!
I think I haven't changed it yet because bread is one of my safe foods (at least I thought) when I'm not feeling well and I haven't had the time to do the research to know what to replace it with. Now I'm motivated though just to see if it might make a difference!
I feel so restricted with this DD sometimes that I think I was hesitant to restrict myself further!
Will let you know how it goes - plan to start my no yeast experiment this weekend...

yum - let me know what kind of champagne - and enjoy!
Remicade has helped me eat a lot more things - but I can still only dabble with fruits and vegis - which is frustrating because I am one of those crhonnies that doesn't lose weight and needs to! Hard to do when you eat carbs and meat all the time! :)
Do all fermented foods (like pickles and cheese) have yeast?! Or are you also trying to stay away from molds?
I love pickles too.
Think I'll start with the bread, etc. I rarely drink but when I do it definitely has consequences - never thought about the yeast component!

No Padme, IBS and IBD are two totally different things and IBS does not lead to IBD. Although many are misdiagnosed with IBS when in reality its IBD. IBS does not cause the inflammation or damage that IBD does and IBS can be treated by modifying your lifestyle/diet. IBS is a functional disorder.

Could you possibly have Celiac disease? Have you been tested for it? Its done by blood test. I am not sure how accurate the Promethus tests are. Most are diagnosed by either colonoscopy or pill cam. If you have not had a pill cam done, I suggest getting one, as if the scope is inconclusive, most have gotten a more firm diagnosis from the pillcam. Good luck!

What do you mean by functional? Honestly I dont think think they have a clue what causes either ibd or ibs. And if bowel troubles are do to things we eat like yeast ten maybe it starts off as ibs with no inflammation but with years of irritation or the fact that you might get more sensitive to what you are eating then startes to cause inflammation. Inflammation is a symptom. You need to figure out what is causing the symptom. And for many with crohns diet does help. That is why do on different diets one being that elemental liquid diet. Adding solids slowing back into your diet to see what gives you problems and what doesn't . They also say that ibs is caused by emotions/stress. When I have had my episodes of what was/is ibs, stress was never an issue. And labor type pains should never be caused by stress! I know that may sound as if I am trying to sound nasty or argumentive. But I really do not mean it that way. I truly believe that the majority of our health problems are from the things we put in us. Or maybe that our mothers put in their system when we were in them. I have been tested for celiac. My daughter who has a wheat allergy will get the genetic test done in feb at her check up. She and my sister who has a wheat allergy were both neg for it all well. However the dr is no longer using the same lab as he was when they had their test done. He said in over 3 years he has never had a positive so he does not think they are doing it right as he said he has noticed with other tests like lymes disease. If her genetic test is positive then I will get genetic testing as well. However I am not sure I want that now that I am allergic to rice I would be left with nothing but veggies :(. I am not really excited about a pill cam. Swallowing pills is not my strong point. I was just told though that it is not too big. Sorry again if this sounded argumentive.

First off with smoking, my mother smoked throughout her whole pregnancy with me. I was born 4-6 wks early I assume from that. I started smoking at 13 and since my parents both did thy never discouraged me. I quit smoking 6 years ago a my symptoms decreases about 3 years after that. And although they have increased some since may it is not a bad a it was before 3 yrs. 13years ago would have been my first symptom of rectal bleeding but no d. 2 years later a month after my first child was born I was in the bathroom for an hour or two with the labor like pains and d. My first episode of d in about 7 year. 4 yrs later at my worst I had my first colonoscopy that was normal except for a precancerous polyp. So every 5 yrs I need to get scoped. 3 yrs after that I had endoscope to check for possible stomach ulcer. Then en of July had my check up colonoscopy. I was also having alternating each 2 or so wks of d & c. Scope was clean. I don't know that I am trying to simplify the disease but more understand and try to figure out what could be causing some of it. All the symptoms of ibd are just that symptoms. They give it a name crohns but have don't know much about it. Whether it is diet or smoking or why I want to try and understand it more and to me it is just food. If taking yeast or wheat or what ever out of my diet and gives me less pain, miss less events and overall feel better then to me it is well worth it. What do you mean ibs symptoms? Aren't ibs symptom the same as ibd but less sever and with no inflammation? I understand ibd also has more symptoms like joint pain nd ibs does not. I hope I am making sense and thank you for feeding me more information. My dr has never mentioned doing the pill cam. He dx me with crohn on results rom stool and prometheus test. However he half retracted that when the new Prometheus test came out. http://www.datamonitor.com/store/News/prometheus_launches_new_ibd_diagnostic_test?productid=E48AD2B0-4481-48E9-8600-8F7EB562791B
He said gave me meds and told me to take if that came back positive. I may ask for the pill cam if that does come back neg. I am not nearly as bad as many of you are. I am only in the bathroom for and hour or two in pain with d. Not days. I have never woken up from it. No resection or anything like that.
