> BUT, if I drink wheat-beer (litterally translated ist called White-beer, which is typically for bavaria for eample) which also contains different yeast (and the beer gets brewed at higher temeratures compared to lager for example.) and the yeast isnt filtered and the beer further ferments inside the ready filled bottle. The beer is (dont know the word for sure, buut I gues:) dull from the yeast.
> This kind of bear actually makes me feel better and I just dont get worse (except the next day, but thats another story I guess). But hey, yeast is rich of B vitamins, and B vitamins can help to lower cortisol, right? Maybe the yeast is thinng that makes the difference. I wondered if the wheat and the barley makes the difference. Maybe allergy to barley? I dunno.So, you're getting some brewer's yeast, along with the beer. Maybe it's something other than the B-vitamins in the yeast? No need to close your mind to that. You can get brewer's yeast in health food stores. It's yucky tasting. Torula yeast is better flavour, and there are others, too.
Maybe it's the B's. Have you tried taking B complex?
> What do you think? Am I right about the cortisol "connection"? the only bothering thing is that free plasma cortisol is within normal range (but measurement was about 5 years ago). But maybe this is not representable for what is going on inside my brain, right?
Cortisol levels can be reduced by taking ginkgo biloba. I recall a fairly recent thread on excess cortisol. You should be able to find it in the archives.
