It could also be that you have an allergy to yeast. "In Hal Huggins book "It's all in your head", he mentions on page 158 certain foods should be avoided in those with mercury toxicity. And one is "grains treated with methyl mercury fungicides, especially wheat"." "The use of the mercury fungicides continued until the 1970’s when concern developed over their toxicity to man and other animals. Residues of these mercury seed treatments were found in game birds that had eaten treated seed that had blown off trucks or had spilled on the ground near seed treating stations. In addition, several unfortunate incidents of human poisoning occurred from people eating treated grain directly, or eating meat from animals that had consumed treated grain. These poisonings finally sealed the fate of the organic mercury fungicides and today they are no longer used in the United States and have limited use in other parts of the world.

Shellfish varies, but some may be low in mercury. http://www.gotmercury.org/article.php?list=type&type=75
