Yes, eating yeast products can potentially worsen seborrheic dermatitis (SD) symptoms, especially if you have an intolerance to yeast. According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, a yeast elimination diet may be helpful for people with challenging SD symptoms. This involves cutting out foods that contain yeast and observing how it affects your skin.

Top sources of yeast include:
- Cheese
- Beer
- Wine
- Baked goods (breads, cakes, biscuits, pretzels)

Given your intolerance to brewer's and baking yeast, and your true allergy to wheat, it makes sense to avoid gluten-free bread that contains yeast as it may trigger your symptoms. Always consult with your doctor or a dietitian for personalized advice.
