Anyone have a little one with a yeast allergy?

My 19mth old who is also allergic to corn, is allergic to yeast as well. I know to avoid pasta/breads but hes gotten picky lately.

Snack ideas that don't have yeast? I dont mind cooking/baking and he can have wheat. Also, any advice or tips are welcome.

I am of no help but just a thought.... if you are vaccinating avoid vaccines grown on yeast such as the Hepatitis B vaccine.

Is he allergic to brewer's yeast or baker's yeast? Our allergist tested both, and DD2 was only allergic to one of them (though orally the doctor told me one thing, and on the written report it was the other). Baking powder biscuits. Tortillas. Quickbreads (like zucchini bread or banana bread). Namaste pizza dough uses baking soda, not yeast.

Crap! I'd been selectivly vaxing and on a whim, I gave in and got this one. Do I HAVE to get the follow up ones? And thanks!

I've no idea. The allergist just checked "yeast" but didn't specify. Also, on their papers it says "milk" instead of dairy. He has an appt on Tuesday, I'll ask then.

 Because brewer's yeast is much easier to avoid than baker's yeast. When the doctor originally told me it was brewer's yeast for dd2, he just said I had to be careful with vitamins, because it was an additive a lot of times.

Interesting!

Actually most pasta's don't use yeast....they contain gluten, but not yeast. So most pasta's would be safe, I would think.  Yeast is primarily used as a rising agent as far as I know. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

For baking you can use double the leavening agents and leave out the yeast. I make my own crackers for my son all the time and I never use yeast in them at all. Just mix whatever flour you want, some water, baking soda and whatever flavorings you want. Roll out thin, cut into pieces and bake until crispy.

That's great! Thanks!

Do carbs feed yeast?
