Yeast and molds are members of the Fungi Family.  This family is very closely related and most patients sensitive to yeast are also sensitive to the other members of the Fungi Family. 

Note - Be careful of root vegetables like potatoes, carrots and turnips.  They contain mold.  Wash them very carefully and do not eat the peelings of root vegetables.  It is best to have someone else wash and peel these vegetables.

Leftovers should be frozen not just refrigerated.
