So I had my ELISA done a few months ago and found out that I am sensitive to yeast. So I have been avoiding all gluten free breads... There is a gf baking company near me that I thought had yeast free dinner rolls so I contacted the baker/owner and unfortunately, it does contain yeast..However, she stated this....
I can not have yeast either, however my doctor says I can(and my kids) can have yeast if its toasted. He explained to me, by toasting the bread first , we can tolerate the yeast.
Has anyone ever heard of this??
Thanks Jenny
tolerating toasted yeast??

Jenny,
This sounds like one of those "it depends" situations. What worked for that person might or might not work for you.
If you're feeling great & strong and willing to do an experiment, you might be able to figure it out without too much unnecessary frustration and symptoms. If you're feeling a little iffy, I'd skip it, for now, till a time when you're willing to rock the boat.
On the Enterolab tests, a sensitivity to yeast would definitely contraindicate even toasted yeast, because the protein in yeast (which is what the antibodies respond to) is not destroyed by cooking.
Hope this helps, even though it's wishy-washy!

Remember that toasting bread made with wheat flour certainly won't make it safe to eat for someone who is sensitive to gluten, so why would toasting yeast somehow make it safe for someone with a yeast-sensitivity? 
That reminds me of advice given by someone with good intentions, but corrupt knowledge. If someone can eat toasted yeast, then clearly, ,they are not actually sensitive to yeast, in the first place.

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.
Jenny,
I used to buy Ener-G (I believe that was the brand) yeast-free rice bread. It was on the shelf and not frozen. It wasn't very tasty; I would compare the taste to cooked rice baked into the shape of a loaf. I used to also say that it tasted similar to styrofoam. But it did allow me to eat sandwiches for a while.
I finally tried making my own bread with yeast and the taste was so much better. I didn't notice any reaction to eating yeast, even though I had tested positive to it on the Enterolab tests.

You never know what you can do until you have to do it.
