Flashback Friday: Does Nutritional Yeast Trigger Crohn’s Disease?
Channel: NutritionFacts.org
Date: 11/02/2022

Is the exaggerated reaction of many Crohn’s disease patients to baker’s, brewer’s, and nutritional yeast just a consequence of their inflamed leaky gut, or might the yeast be a contributing cause?

This is something I first warned people about on social media. It takes some time from when I first research a topic until the video is produced and uploaded to the site, so for breaking or important news, I rely on our Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/NutritionFacts.org), Twitter (http://www.twitter.com/nutrition_facts), Instagram (http://instagram.com/nutrition_facts_org/), and YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=nutritionfactsorg) channels to let everyone know as quickly as I can. Please consider following along and joining in on the conversation.

Warned about? So is yeast really a potential problem? Yes, and not just for Crohn’s. This is the first of a four-part video series. See also:
