I spoke to a nutritionist who said that most people with IBS react negatively to yeast, as IBS is often affected by an imbalance in the gut, where yeast takes over and essentially becomes a parasite, making the intestines unable to deal with and absorb certain foods effectively- resulting in other food intolerances. Yeast also emits toxins, which can make you get headaches, fatigue etc. And yeast feeds off yeast and sugar in the food you eat.
I'm glad eliminating yeast is helping you, but what your nutritionist is describing has not been my experience with IBS. I have done incredibly well on Heather's EFI Diet and a lot of my soluble fiber comes from French, Italian, and related breads, which are loaded with yeast and with the sugars that yeast feeds on. I also eat a lot of sugar in fruit and vegetable breads. I'm not going to claim that's good for my overall health, but it has worked wonders for my IBS.
On the other hand, eating sausages, unless they were made with all white meat poultry, would probably send me into an IBS attack.
There are many, many recipes on the Recipe Board, but they all follow the EFI principles which call for a base of soluble fiber for all meals and snacks and the elimination of trigger foods (including, but not limited to, dairy and egg yolks).
