It, however, has a few side effects. You, therefore, need to be careful not to consume too much and to gradually introduce it to your diet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people may be yeast intolerant (This is rare). This most commonly affects individuals with inflammatory bowel disease. Some research shows that yeast may trigger and worsen the symptoms of inflammatory bowel disease (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/11564006\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">13<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nutritional yeast also contains a significant amount of niacin that may cause facial flushing which while generally not harmful is uncomfortable (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jci.org\/articles\/view\/44098\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">17<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). You would probably have to consume an excessive amount of nutritional yeast to experience this.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, consuming nutritional yeast may trigger headaches or migraines in certain people. This is because it contains tyramine, a derivative of tyrosine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And while most people can enjoy tyramine-containing foods without any side effects, it may trigger headaches and migraine attacks in sensitive individuals (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC494110\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The mechanism by which tyramine causes migraines is still not understood.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nutritional yeast is a versatile food supplement that can be used in many different meals be it stews, soups, pasta, muffins, potatoes or vegetables.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is great for all individuals as it provides a lot of nutrients while being gluten-free, soy-free and is low in calories and sodium.
