Brewers yeast and pumping - increase supply?

[Anonymous]

Wondering if using recipes with Brewers yeast helped increase anyone's pumping supply, and if there were any side effects? Thank you

Every time my supply takes a hit, I make these cookies http://www.food.com/recipe/oatmeal-chocolate-chip-lactation-cookies-by-noel-trujillo-192346
They have brewers yeast in them, and I definitely notice an increase with my supply after eating a couple a day. The recipe makes 4 dozen, but they freeze well and are delicious.

Yes, I would eat oatmeal with brewer's yeast mixed in. It did help, but fenugreek and other supplements helped more (without the weight gain -- I put on so much weight from scarfing oatmeal!)

I used milk makers lactation cookies (the mix so I could make my own, tasted much better than the store made cookies) that had brewer's yeast and several other things in them and I really thought they helped.
