Wheat Free Flour Alternatives for the Yeast Intolerant

Do you know where regular flours come from? – Flours like all purpose flour, cake flour, etc. come from cereal grains, specifically from barley and rye. Barley and rye though have wheat in them; so if you’re allergic to wheat or avoiding high-carbohydrate wheat because you’re intolerant to yeast, then these common flours are not for you. Good to know though that there are many wheat free flour alternatives you can turn to.

Among the popular wheat-less flours are the following: rice flour, quinoa flour, corn flour, corn meal, flax seed meal, chia seed flour, oat flour, and buckwheat, millet, and potato flour. There are also tapioca flours and bean flours as well as pea flours you can buy from the market.

If you love eating baked goodies or just need to use flour in your cooking, then there’s no need to risk your health using wheat-based flours if you’re particularly intolerant to yeast, or wheat.

Yeast Free Foods - Yeast Free Snacks

The reason why Candidiasis and other diet related diseases are common these days is because of unhealthy eating, or more specifically, unhealthy snacking. It’s okay to snack often but only as long as you’re eating healthy snacks (and only eating in moderation). For many people, the most effective diet is to eat sugar free and yeast free snacks or foods.

Instead of eating cookies, brownies, muffins, or other sweets for your in-between-meals, go for healthier alternatives. Remember that sugar doesn’t only add to your waistline, they also nourish yeast, encouraging them to multiply.

You can still eat chocolates, but go for the healthier kind – dark chocolates. They’re less sweeter, plus, they are also high in antioxidants. You can also eat more fruits, which are the best form of natural sweets. And instead of using refined sugar and wheat flour for your baked goodies, try honey instead and wheat-less flours that are low in carbohydrates and sugar, as well as gluten free.
