Remember, allergy tests are a guide. You may get false positives (results say you are allergic when not), or false negatives (results say you are not allergic, when you are). The ultimate test is: do you feel better when you avoid a particular food or not? Keep that in mind as you adjust your diet.
]]>Oh, could it be ‘processed out’? No. Allergies involve tiny amounts of the allergen. There are very few (or zero) purification mechanisms known that can remove every molecule of an antigen from a foodstuff.
]]>“No added sugar” does not necessarily mean “no sugar”. Marketers often twist the language, so read the ingredients and see if there is sugar in one form or another (sucrose, glucose, high fructose corn syrup etc.)
Regardless, as the article explains, there will probably be some yeast in the chocolate itself.
This does not mean “don’t eat it”, it means proceed with caution and listen to your body. It may not work for you.
]]>The main ingredient in chocolate is actually a fermented product. In the creation of chocolate liquor, yeast, lactic acid bacteria, and acetic acid bacteria all play a major role. Unless there is a lot of processing, there is definitely yeast in chocolate.
]]>Items that are related to/may contain yeast also needs to contain potatoes.
Our ND tested for “Yeast Family” in allergy testing and included potatoes in her list.
