Yes it's definetely possible to have two allergies, lol. I lost count of how many I have because it's virtually everything at this point. Only things that don't trigger it are low sugar vegetables and specific gluten free grains like quinoa and millet.
As for yeast free and wheat free grains there is: Brown Rice, Quinoa, Amaranth, Millet, Steel cut oats, Sourdough.
Processed breads will tend to have yeast included. To avoid yeast you will need to eat more pastas and unprocessed versions of most of the above grains.
Look for the health food section of your local grocery store and look for breads you can consume in the freezer. The yeast free ones tend to be pretty solid though like bricks.
Now there are wheat free breads that contain gluten so you need to make sure it isn't gluten that you're sensitive to otherwise that opens it up further to kamut and spelt.
Overall I'd say you're suffering from a chronic deep rooted candida infection. I know for myself I still can't touch many foods but when I'm actively doing a candida program I feel WAAAAY better and I can actually mildly tolerate foods I normally can't.
The reason I believe this is your problem is because you are sensitive to both yeast and wheat. Candida is basically where your yeast in your body converts and forms bad bacteria which builds up and causes excessive allergies etc. Many people with wheat sensitivity tend to have candida as an underlying cause. On the flip side though once you do a candida cleanse effectively the allergies don't always go away fully unfortunately.
its not common, but not nessissarily uncommon. Plus the two go together quite often anyway.
Not uncommon at all. Wheat free info is fairly easy to get, because there is a disease called Celiac disease in which people cannot tolerate gluten (which is in wheat). Check out the celiac's website and you will find loads of info.
Some people are 'atopic' - they are prone to developing allergies.
Ask the nutritionist for more information about avoiding both foods. Health food shops tend to be very good at supplying such stuff. And I bet on-line there are lots of places to search. Although it can be a real problem doing the research at first once you have got information you will begin to uderstand which foods are more likely to contain your banned substances.
