<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi Everyone, I'm new to this list and have been reading virtually every message for the past few weeks. I appreciate all of the valuable information and advice that the members share, and it's great to know my family isn't alone! We've been gluten-free for about a month now, and I am beginning to suspect yeast sensitivity in addition to Celiac. I have read that sensitivity to molds, including yeast and even xanthan gum, is common with newly-diagnosed Celiac. What I've been unable to find out so far is whether this is likely to be an allergy and a long-term problem, or more likely to be a temporary intolerance (as lactose sometimes can be) which may improve as the villi heal. I'd like to ask those of you that have any experience with yeast sensitivity whether you've also had any problems with xanthan gum? Also, for any of you who have seen (or perhaps are) an allergist, were you able to identify this problem as an allergy? Were these tests able to identify specific foods such as yeast, mushrooms, xanthan gum, etc., or just a general "mold" allergy? Finally, have any of you experienced any improvement in these sensitivities over time? I would sincerely appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.
