Documentation on Brewer Yeast

[Guest guest]

Actually, a 1909 book called " Practical Physiological Chemistry " (On

google books), p.11 describes the steps for making sucrase from

brewer's yeast. (google: sucrase " brewer yeast " )

" Based on test tube studies, just by ingesting a small amount of

viable yeast cells of fresh or lyophilized S. cerevisiae (fresh

baker's yeast), patients with congenital sucrase-isomaltase

deficiency may ameliorate the malabsorption problems from the

appreciable sucrase activity of yeast cells. A single report

suggested that treatment with Saccharomyces cerevisiae facilitates

treatment of persistent Clostridium difficile-associated infection

and diarrhea. Based on animal studies, pretreatment with brewer's

yeast inhibits C. difficile toxin A-induced colonic secretion. "

pedias/Yeast.htm

" Biotherapeutic properties of probiotic yeast Saccharomyces species "

" Rats treated with Saccharomyces spp showed significant increases in

sucrase-isomaltase, lactase and maltase activities. In their study on

human volunteers (Jahn et al ., 1996) used an in situ technique to

measure brush border enzyme activities in snap-frozen biopsies. After

treatment with S.cerevisiae and S. boulardii , an increase in

lactase, glycosidase and alkaline phosphatase activity was detected

both at the basal and apical parts of villi, with increases ranging

from 22 to 55 % "

So, I have a question. I have brain fog, so I often must read, reread and

take apart posts like this to get a better understanding. I've been taking

S. Boulardii on and off in pill form for about 6 months. Is the source

being from Brewers Yeast important. I've3 read that Brewers Yeast was got

for people with IBS and Candida, but never following up to obtain more info.

Is this the same Brewers Yeast we see in super markets, or do you need to

get it specially prepared from some other source?

[Moderator: I beleive the source is not important, the enzyeme that is important

should be in all of them]
