Yeast-Free Diets and Autism Ranking: No evidence

Time

This complex, restrictive diet is very time consuming and difficult to follow.

It requires someone to buy and prepare appropriate foodstuffs for every meal. It also requires someone to check apparently harmless foodstuffs, such as snacks, to make sure they do not contain yeast or the foodstuffs that yeast thrives on even in very small amounts.

It involves learning about dietary ingredients of most foods, practicing new menus and recipes, and checking food contents when shopping.

In addition it affects the whole family whether or not everyone has decided to follow the diet. This often causes significant stress and pressure.
