Hi Maryse,
The yeast test is a separate, unique test for a sensitivity to bakers/brewers yeast. The interesting thing is that yeast sensitivity does not appear to be due to a permanent genetic change. IOW, so far, virtually all members who have tested positive to the yeast test have been able to tolerate yeast after they are in remission. So while yeast may have to be avoided during recovery, it's typically a non-issue after our gut heals.
As far as I'm aware, baking powder does not contain yeast — it's used instead of yeast. But there may be combination formulas that I'm not aware of that do contain yeast.
You're very welcome,
Tex

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
