in order for yeast from bread to live in the GI tract the yeast cells would have to be alive

No, no, I believe in the 'theory' mentioned in the previous post, it's not the yeast from the bread that they're talking about, tho'.
The concept is that ingested sugars and simple carbs become food for problematic yeast overgrowth that already exists in the gut. (This is not at all the same as the yeast used in breadmaking, of course.) Different types of troublesome yeasts in the gut also live on sugars and can also produce gases and are thought to be a possible source of bloating for some people. The method described of refraining from ingesting sugars, grains and as much carbs as possible for a 2 week period is regularly used to verify if one has this type of internal or systemic yeast problem. [A person with a yeast problem will generally feel temporarily worse (flu-like), but then markedly better by the end of the 2 weeks.] I do imagine that anyone with ibs would need to be careful in trying that, if he/she normally relies on carb-rich foods to help supply their SF.

Another thing to remember is most refined sugars are digested in the stomach and carried into the bloood stream so there would be very little sugar that gets to the colon to feed the yeast.

Unless there's something going on to make digestion less than optimal . . . That's exactly what that concept is looking at.
Does this help clear anything up?
