Plain boiled rice do not contained yeast. Most rice dishes cooked in other forms are also yeast free except for those that uses soya sauce in their cooking. Soya sauce used in fried rice contains yeast. However, soya sauce can be substituted by tamari sauce, which is similar to soya sauce except it is gluten free and does not contain yeast.

A mixture of crunchy and fresh green salad is a healthy food choice. Salad creams however are to be avoided for a yeast free diet. Create your own salad dressing using fruit juice with vegetable oil. An example of yeast free salad dressing is a blend of orange juice, herbs and olive oil.
