In a new study published in Science Translational Medicine, researchers found that the common yeast used in all bread products, Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S. cerevisiae), aggravated colitis and caused epithelial cell damage that caused greater gut permeability. We know that the microbiome of people with inflammatory bowel disease is different than people without it.
There is less diversity and this may allow for the growth of populations of more potentially pathogenic organisms. The researchers innoculated mice with either S. cerevisiae or another yeast, R. aurantiaca – an environmentally acquired yeast found in milk and fruit juice. About High-Fiber Diets.

The IBD-AID has three phases to treat flares and progress to the ultimate goal of maintaining remission. Pay attention to each phase every day to obtain the best results.

Modifying Paleo for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth - The Paleo Mom. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (or SIBO) is a chronic bacterial (and/or yeast) infection of the small intestine, characterized by excessive number and/or abnormal type of bacteria (and yeast) growing in a part of the gastrointestinal tract that normal contains relatively few microorganisms.
These bacteria can cause a variety of problems by interfering with digestion and absorption of nutrients and by damaging the lining of the gut, causing a “leaky gut” (I addressed the many health problems that can arise from a leaky gut in this post). The most common symptoms of bacterial overgrowth include abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, gas, belching, flatulence, chronic diarrhea, and chronic constipation. These symptoms are due to the large volume of bacteria the digestive tract (alive and dead, as they read the end of their lifecycle) and the large amount of gas and metabolic waste that they produce.
