Good Morning all,
This product may have been mentioned before, but I thought I would bring it up anyway.
My wife bought some Ian's Natural french toast for me last week. I have to say it is pretty good tasting. It's GF, DF, SF, AND EF. It does however have yeast, a no no for me, but I decided to give it a try anyway. So far so good. I'm going to check out their web site for more goodies.

I'm living on their chicken patties. In fact, I just put one in the toaster oven. Extremely shredded chicken but NO wheat, gluten, casein, milk, eggs, nuts and soy. Yea!
I bought French Toast when I was just DF and GF. I took it out of the packaging and have been afraid to eat it. It may be Ian's but I'm not certain.

Hotrod,
As best I can determine, (based on research), yeast is kind of a unique intolerance, in that apparently the only time that one can test positive to a test for yeast antibodies, is during a period of yeast overgrowth. Theoretically, at least, that implies that as long as one is not experiencing yeast overgrowth, (Candida Albicans), yeast intolerance is not a consideration. YMMV.
Thanks for the tip, by the way.

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.

Joan, I was thinking of trying the chicken patties. Now that I know you like them I will buy some for myself. I checked out their web site, they have some good looking offerings for those of us who have multiple food sensitivities. As I recall, you have the same as I do. Boy, what I would give to have pizza and beer again. Maybe after remission I could do that once in a while.
Tex, Had to look up YMMV, very appropriate jargen for a car guy like me. As you can tell I don't do the text message thing much. I always learn something from your posts.
It never occurred to me that I had a yeast overgrowth but it makes perfect sense to me now. Thanks for the clarification. I'm going to look that up on the internet and learn more about it. Do you have any sugestions for the best way to treat a yeast overgrowth or any studies involving treatments?

Hotrod,
Call me an old fogey, but I consider "text messaging" to be one of the stupidest fads to come along in a long, long time. Why would anyone who has a perfectly good cellphone in his or her hands, want to waste time trying to type out a crude message on one of those teeny-tiny little rudimentary "keyboards", when he or she could simply communicate by much more sophisticated means - good old vocal conversation. If someone wants to step back in time, to more primitive methods, they should learn Morse code, and send their messages in Morse code. By doing so, they would at least have nostalgia on their side.
There are times, of course, when an e-mail is an appropriate way to communicate, and I do a fair amount of that myself, but I've never felt the urge to communicate by means of SMS. SMS was a get-rich-quick scheme promoted by the cellular service carriers, to help get kids hooked on expensive cellular service, and the entire concept has always struck me as, (in a word), just plain "dumb". I won't even get into the dangerous aspect of it, since that's already covered by the descriptive term, "dumb". (One of these days, I'll tell you how I really feel about it).
Okay, to get to my reason for writing this post in the first place: There are a lot of gluten free beers around. Some of the earlier ones were merely low-gluten, but most of the latest editions are good enough to be called gluten-free. Even Anheuser Busch has one, called Redbridge. According to those who claim to be beer experts, though, Greens Gluten Free Beers are generally conceded to be ahead of the pack. They have a US and Canadian distributor in the PNW, but apparently their website is down, because I'm unable to access it. Here's their main site:
http://www.glutenfreebeers.co.uk/
And if you click on the Canadian and US flags, you can see the three beers that should be available in the US and Canada. They are free of gluten, crustaceans, eggs, fish, peanuts, soy beans, milk, lactose, nuts, celery, mustard, sesame seeds, sulphur dioxide and sulphites/.
I'm not a beer drinker, so I can't tell you how they taste, but from what I've read, they're the best available. In fact, some people claim that they're better than regular beer. Of course, as always, YMMV. LOL.
I doubt if most doctors even believe that there is such a thing as "yeast overgrowth", but under certain conditions, it can definitely become a serious problem, and it's a difficult one to resolve. This site is written for women, but it offers one of the best descriptions of any I've seen, concerning how to treat yeast overgrowth.

Basically, you have to starve the candida, by eliminating sugars from your diet. Candida has the unique capacity of being able to make it's host crave sugar, so that it can thrive. If you don't crave sugar, you probably don't have a yeast overgrowth.

Hotrod,
I also tested positive for yeast and religiously avoided eating any yeast breads for a few months after the test. I ate GF, EF, SF, YF, DF rice bread made by Ener-G Foods. It tasted like cooked rice formed into the shape of a loaf of bread. IOW, not great.
Then I read Tex's postulate that the only time you test positive for yeast antibodies is when you have a yeast infection. Since that time, I've eaten yeast bread sparingly, about 1-2 times a week and haven't notice any impact on my symptoms. I've also cut down the amount of sugar I consume. Not because I want to, but there simply aren't as many sweet treats that I can eat. I've found that the fewer sweets I eat, the less I desire them.

Hey OLD FOGEY, (you did say to call you that) I couldn't agree with you more on the text message thing but, there is a lot I don't understand about the younger generation. Now, I'm sounding alot like my Dad, regarding my generation.
Thanks for the Greens beer link. I'm not much of a beer drinker but certain foods just taste better with it. Pizza being one. But since I cant have that I'll probably skip the beer for now. I'm more inclined to have a glass or two of red wine with dinner anyway.
Another thanks for the yeast overgrowth link. Since my EL results showed an elevated count of 17 units for the yeast antibody I must assume that I have one. regarding the symptoms however, I don't seem to have any major ones. (There are so many that we all have some of them to some degree.) I have never had much sugar in my diet outside of a choc. chip cookie every night and syrup on the weekends plus natural fruit sugars. I have no cravings at all. So I'm a little puzzled on this one. I will ask Gloria about her symptons.
I looked at a site by Dr. Jonathan Wright called Nutrition and Healing. I get a monthly news letter from him. He subscribes to the holistic approach to medicine. www.wrightnewsletter.com In a 2006 article, he recommends the use of Argentyn 23 or Sovereign Silver. Both contain silver particles of .8 nanometer in size. A benefit of this treatment is that it protects the good bacteria. I have a lot of respect for him but I think I may try the dietary approach for a few months and then get retested.
Thanks again for getting me started in the right direction.

P.S. I noticed a movement afoot to elect you President of the U.S. I really think that position is way beneath you. "Professor Tex" would be a more honorable and certainly more approiate title for you.

Gloria, It is certainly a challenge to eat anything "tasty" with our intolerances. I wanted to ask you if you could describe your symptoms a little more in detail for your yeast overgrowth. I don't really crave sugar that much. From what I'm reading, it can effect the Thyroid function, (I'm hypo) and a lot of other major organ functions.
Any help from you on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

Hotdog,
Have you seen some of Mary Shomon's discussions about hypothyroidism and yeast overgrowth?
http://thyroid.about.com/cs/relatedcond ... andida.htm
http://thyroid.about.com/cs/basics_star ... teries.htm
Regarding that alleged "movement": I'm not much of a politician, (and I'm too undignified to be a professor), so I'm hoping that will blow over, as soon as the wind changes. LOL.

Hi - I just had to log in on the comments about Ian's products. I eat the chicken nuggets (have had the patties, also, but I generally prefer the shape of nuggets). My favorite, though, is the fish sticks! For some reason (who knows), they seem to be "comfort food" to me. I hated not being able to eat them due to the breading. I love fish, anyway, but missed the breaded stuff. Once I found these, I fell in love. A true comfort meal for me is fish sticks, Tater tots (OreIda are "safe") and Kraft Dinner Mac & Cheese (the cheese packet is "safe" and I just cook my own gf mac). I used to think of these things as quick, easy and cheap. I guess I did without them long enough until I found what was safe and not, so now they feel like comfort food!
I just finished dinner and am wanting to eat again! Better stop here!
Love ya;
G'ma Mary

Those who are not part of the solution, are part of the problem.
Hotrod,
I wish I could enlighten you with a description of my symptoms, but I really haven't noticed any problems resulting from eating yeast. I've been puzzled about the yeast intolerance ever since I was given the test results. I haven't had a female yeast infection for over 20 years. I don't really crave sugar, either.
I'm presently on an antibiotic (Cipro) and always take a probiotic which helps guard against yeast infections. I'm crossing my fingers this time because I'm taking the antibiotic for 10 days - longer than usual for me.
I mentioned that I eat yeast bread sparingly, 1-2 times a week, but on the days I don't eat the yeast bread, I eat soups that have yeast in the base. So technically, I'm ingesting yeast almost every day without any apparent consequences. I'm still a work in progress, though, and can't claim that I'm in complete remission, though I'm pretty close. I don't think, however, that yeast has been a problem.
