Yeast

Yeast intolerance is a condition that reflects the body’s reduced ability to digest yeast, often leading to gastrointestinal discomfort. This differs from a yeast allergy, which triggers an immune response and may cause more severe symptoms. People with yeast intolerance typically experience digestive issues after consuming yeast or yeast-containing foods.

What is yeast intolerance and how does it differ from yeast allergies?

Yeast intolerance involves the digestive system’s inability to properly process yeast, resulting in discomfort and various symptoms. This is a non-immune response, unlike a yeast allergy, which is an immune reaction to proteins in yeast, potentially causing severe symptoms like hives, swelling, or anaphylaxis. Yeast intolerance generally leads to milder, primarily digestive-focused symptoms and does not involve the immune system.

What are the common symptoms of yeast intolerance?
  • Bloating and gas
  • Abdominal pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea
  • Indigestion
  • Headaches
When should I consider getting a yeast intolerance test?

If you consistently experience digestive discomfort such as bloating, abdominal pain, or diarrhea after consuming yeast or yeast-containing products, it may be wise to consider a test for yeast intolerance. This is particularly important if these symptoms disrupt your daily activities or if the specific cause of your discomfort is unclear, as it could be indicative of other dietary sensitivities or health issues.
