]]>Thanks for clarifying your question, Nell.
I’ll see what I can find out.
]]>Sorry to question the above answer. But for me the question has not been answered. Are yeast cultures grown on wheat-based mediums? And then harvested, processed, and added to foods as flavourings etc (as in stock cubes / powder, processed savoury foods …)? I am not asking whether yeast extract satisfies arbitrary guidelines about what is, or is not, gluten free. I am asking if there is a connection between the production of yeast extract and the use of wheat as growth medium for the yeast? Hope someone has the answer to this! Thanks, Nell
]]>Yeast can be used as an additive – usually in more processed foods.
Wheat and yeast have nothing to do with each other – almost.
Any highly processed carbohydrate, such as white flour, quickly turns into sugar which can really put a yeast problem into over-drive.
Generally though, think about avoiding yeast and avoiding wheat as separate problems.

When it comes to avoiding yeast, you need to do more than avoid foods with yeast on the list of ingredients. Check out Foods that Contain Yeast for a detailed list.
Oats may not be the best replacement for wheat. It depends. They are closely related plants. Personally, I can get away with having some oats sometimes, but not too often. Some can’t have any ever, others don’t have a problem with oats at all.
If you are dealing with $celiac$ then avoid oats completely.
Oats are yeast free, you will be glad to know. If you are using prepared packets of instant oatmeal with flavorings though, that could be a different matter.
Remember to avoid sugar as well – its a major yeast-driver.
]]>Is yeast always an additive. I understand now that wheat doesn’t neccessarily mean yeast also, but does that also mean that yeast isn’t in anything except when mentioned on the label? I’m giving my daughter oat porridge in the mornings, but I’m a bit concerned about this. And is glucose syrup always from wheat, or only when mentioned?
