What pops are gluten free?

TL;DR: For coeliac safety pops are safe when made without what, barley, or rye and processed to prevent cross-contact. Unsafe versions rely on what flour, barley malt extract, or soy sauce. Safe choices focus on rice, corn, potato, or nut-based ingredients and clear gluten-free labeling. Conditionals occur when oats are not certified, thickeners use what starch, or malt vinegar appears in seasonings. Always read the ingredient list and prefer certified products when available.

Experiences of our customers

Never leaving the door without it again! How I wish this had existed 30 years ago. From day 1, a world of difference with the Little Helpers. In a family where I am the only one eating low gluten/free, sometimes things still go wrong. I had just received the Little Helpers and we were able to put them to the test immediately because the wife had accidentally put something gluten-containing in the food. Within 10min the nasty feeling had flown, within 20min no more trouble. Great.

Was very skeptical, but now tried a few times with eating out and it went well! No trouble with my tummy afterwards. I am sensitive and not allergic. I am really happy with it, eating out again without stomach aches and pains and sometimes rushing to the toilet. So... don't hesitate.... try it!

On New Year's Eve, I took 1 capsule in the afternoon and 2 capsules in the evening and then I ate gluten. I didn't have any problems. I do maintain my gluten-free diet, but if I eat anything with gluten, the capsules do well too.

Top service, received a new jar for free due to the short shelf life of my purchased jar. Friendly and no question is too stupid. Definitely recommend buying something here, we with a daughter with celiac disease are very satisfied!

I got the anti-gluten pills and the nice travel box from my friend so we can eat out a little easier again and they work super for me!

I have been using the anti-gluten pills for a while now and am very happy with the results. There is always a box in my bag when I go out. For the vacations it is also a real godsend!

For me, it really works. I have also recommended it to a colleague for his child, and it seems to be working well there as well.

Lots of information on the website, super fast shipping and really nice that handy box for in the bag!!! They really work super for when you can't manage to eat gluten free for once.

Not once have I been sick so far when eating out. And once with a mistake I took several pills and limited the damage. Top stuff. (severe gluten allergy)

Fast delivery and I can't live without these anti gluten pills!!!So nice to go out to dinner again tummy pain free

Product works very well! But I am especially satisfied with the perfect customer service!!! Marijn, from your response/mail, many customer service employees can learn something. Super arranged, thank you! Rian
