Default Yeast free?

Hi, I just have a general query and wanted to know if anybody could help me?

Im following a low carb and yeast free diet, since i recently found out i am intially allergic/intolerant to yeast, and this brought up many other intolerances to things like chicken and even fish oil! but fundamentally it is due to me not being able to tolerate yeast..

I have been taking certain 'whole food' and sometimes synthetic vitamin and mineral supplements, some quite expensive too, but i have been reading that they actually cultivate alot of these vitamins/minerals from yeast, before they are extracted into a capsule/tablet form... Would this mean that maybe these supplements could potentially cause a problem for me?

Theres a few new supplement brands i have been trying out recently and i noticed that non of them say yeast free on the packaging, and one company called garden of life, have a 'raw' whole food multivitamin but it is specifically stated that these are whole food nutrients cultured from yeast?!?

Im confused.. I just want to avoid yeast and anything to do with yeast full stop but now im thinking maybe it might be all the supplements i take that could be causing me a problem...

Does anyone know anything on this matter???

thanks.

A lot of companies do unfortunately add yeast, soy and other additives to vitamin and mineral supplements.

Solgar does a good range which is free of most of those. I have to read all the packaging too, so you're not alone.
