"Immune sensitization to yeast antigens in ASCA-positive patients with Crohn's disease" in Inflammtory Bowel Disease (2006)
"In summary, mannan antigens play an important role by interacting in different ways with the immune system. The reactivity of the immune system toward mannans seems to be disturbed specifically in patients with CD. Because mannans are ubiquitous, it is difficult to verify their immune modulatory influence. Interestingly, Young et al. reported that the clinical activity of CD could be reduced by avoiding yeast antigens. 13 However, it is doubtful whether a total avoidance of yeast antigens is possible."
