Brewer's Yeast and the Rye Free Diet

Brewer's yeast is a type of yeast derived from the byproduct of brewing beer. It is known for its nutritional benefits, including being a rich source of B vitamins, protein, and chromium, which may help regulate blood sugar levels. However, it is important to note that brewer's yeast often contains barley malt, a source of gluten, and should therefore be avoided by individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity unless it is explicitly labeled as gluten-free.
