Traveling with Nutritional Yeast—or Not? | OMventure.com

Traveling with Nutritional Yeast is a Must for Some

I was first drawn to nutritional yeast when I learned how important it was to find a healthy source of vitamin B12. I enjoyed sprinkling it on all kinds of food.

Its slightly cheesy flavor made me happy, as long as I didn't consume too much.

I Wasn't Sure What it was About Nutritional Yeast that Didn't Feel Quite Right

But if I ate too much, there was something...not right. So I slowly moved away from it.

Then, this winter, I was so sick with colds and flu. Around that time, I'd read how nutritional yeast appears to help some prevent the common cold...though with issues to consider.

I bought some nutritional yeast anyway. Just my luck, I had an anaphylactic reaction after eating a heavier than normal sprinkling.

I then read why nutritional yeast might not be healthy for everyone. While I don't have Crohn's, or Hidradenitis Suppurativa, I do have autoimmune diseases and related intestinal issues. So it makes one think.
