Is it wheat or yeast causing your food allergies – a must read

Over the past several years more and more research is being conducted on the cause of food intolerance's.  What are they finding?  All the fingers should not be pointing to wheat.  Instead, we should be looking at yeast.

In 2003 a study was performed on over 300 people who showed minimal to severe food allergies. 

What did the study find? 

Cow’s milk was the #1 cause of food intolerance's and wheat was at the very bottom of the list.

80%   Cow’s milk and their products
27%   Oranges
21%   Cocoa
19%   All cheeses and yogurts
17%   Coffee
14%   Yeast
14%   Tea
12%   Aspartame
11%   Malt
10%   Monosodium glutamate
5%     Hydrolysed vegetable protein
3%     Goats and sheeps milk products
3%     Wheat

What were the people’s symptoms who were part of the study.

bloating, constipation, indigestion or diarrhea
behavioral problems
depression
skin conditions
fatigue
headaches
joint pain
nausea
panic
recurrent infections
sleeplessness

Studies have also shown that usually when a person is allergic to yeast, they are also allergic to cheese and yogurt.

But people like to self-diagnosis, especially with all the health trending articles.  So, when they eat bread, pizza, pasta, rolls and breakfast cereal and have a reaction they think wheat is the culprit. 

What they don’t think about is that all these foods contain yeast and might have be eaten with a piece of cheese or glass of milk. 

If a person is told to avoid wheat and in actuality has an intolerance to yeast they are not going to see much of an improvement in their health.  

 

The same is true for a person who is allergic to cow’s milk.  If a person gives up wheat but not milk they will not see any improvement in their health.  If a person gives up wheat and milk they might get better but it is not because of the lack of wheat in their diet.  It’s because they stopped drinking milk.

It seems the best alternative would be a milk and yeast free diet to start and then try no wheat if your symptoms are not showing any improvement.
