Introduction
Yeast is a living fungus that actively helps in the fermentation of food and drinks. The fungus consumes sugar and converts it into carbon dioxide, which helps bread ferment and rise and aids in brewing drinks. However, the bubbling reactions that cause fermentation may sometimes result in unwanted reactions in the body. These reactions may be due to an intolerance to yeast, which can produce allergic responses.
Having understood how yeast works and why certain people are allergic to it, let us now move forward to discuss the details of yeast allergy, including its types, causes, symptoms, and Ayurvedic treatment measures.
Types of Yeast Allergy
It is a very common ingredient used in a variety of baked goods and alcoholic beverages. When making baked goods, baker’s yeast is used, while brewer’s yeast is used in alcoholic beverages such as beer. Based on these two forms of yeast, yeast allergies are also classified into two types, namely:
1. Baker’s Yeast Allergy
As the name suggests, this allergy is caused by the consumption of foods that contain baker’s yeast. These foods, also known as leavened baked goods, primarily include:
- Bread of different kinds
- Cookies
- Muffins

2. Brewer’s Yeast Allergy
This allergy is caused by the consumption of alcoholic beverages that are brewed with brewer’s yeast. Beer and wine are two beverages that most commonly trigger brewer’s yeast allergy.
