I wonder if this effect might be due to something else which is broken down 
by the yeast.  My minimalist cider-making algorithm goes like this: 

1) Take a 1-gallon jug of unfiltered juice 
2) Pour out a pint and drink 
3) Add yeast and fit with a fermentation lock 
4) Wait about a week 
5) Refrigerate and drink, including a fair amount of yeast slurry 

Step 2 always gives me the trots, but Step 5 never does.
