Is Absinthe Gluten Free?

Generally speaking, traditional absinthe is gluten-free as it is made from distilled spirits and herbs, not grains containing gluten. However, some modern or flavored varieties of absinthe may contain added ingredients that could potentially include gluten, so it’s always best to check the specific product’s ingredients or contact the manufacturer if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

Potential anti-inflammatory effects: Certain compounds in wormwood may have anti-inflammatory properties.

Possible pain relief: Historically, absinthe was used as a pain reliever, though modern medicine offers more effective alternatives.

Appetite stimulant: In small amounts, absinthe may help stimulate appetite.

Potential stress relief: Like other alcoholic beverages, moderate consumption may help reduce stress and anxiety in some individuals.

What is Tolerase® G?

A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
Explore the Science and Benefits of Tolerase® G.

 

Relief from Gluten Sensitivity

In the fight against gluten, there is a unique supplement that stands out: Little Helpers anti-gluten pills with 100% Tolerase® G.

This specific enzyme, Tolerase® G, a patented endopeptidase specific for proline, was developed by  Royal DSM  and has been scientifically proven to be effective in breaking down gluten residues​ ( 1) ​. Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP), an enzyme closely related to Tolerase® G, can break down gluten so effectively that it barely reaches the duodenum, potentially eliminating gluten toxicity​ ( 2) ( ​​3 ) ​.

On this page we explain why we are so enthusiastic about this supplement, supported by scientific research.

What is Gluten?

Gluten is a group of proteins found primarily in grains such as wheat, barley, and rye. These complex proteins give shape, strength, and texture to bread and other grain products. However, gluten is difficult to digest because it is rich in proline, a non-essential amino acid. This is why about 13% of the world’s population is sensitive to gluten in their diet​ (1)​.

How Tolerase® G Works

It is important to note that Tolerase G is designed to have optimal activity in the difficult conditions of the stomach. Its effectiveness on the digestion of gluten in the stomach and duodenum has been scientifically proven ( 1 ).

Studies have shown that a newly identified prolyl endoprotease derived from Aspergillus niger can effectively break down gluten proteins. This enzyme works optimally at a pH of 4–5, remains stable at pH 2, and is completely resistant to digestion by pepsin ( 2 ). Furthermore, research has shown that Aspergillus niger prolyl endoprotease (AN-PEP) accelerates the breakdown of gluten in the stomach so much that very little gluten reaches the duodenum ( 3 ). This suggests that co-administration of AN-PEP with a meal containing gluten could potentially eliminate gluten toxicity, allowing people to (occasionally) abandon their strict gluten-free diet ( 3 ).

Frequently
Asked Questions 1

Does absinthe have gluten?
Absinthe itself is typically gluten-free. The main ingredients in traditional absinthe are herbs, alcohol, and water, none of which contain gluten. However, some flavored or modern varieties of absinthe might contain additives that could introduce gluten. It's always best to check the specific brand and ingredients list if you have gluten sensitivities.
What liquors are not gluten-free?
Most distilled liquors are considered gluten-free, even if made from gluten-containing grains. However, some flavored liquors may contain gluten additives. Certain types of whiskey, particularly those not distilled, may contain trace amounts of gluten. Beer is the main alcoholic beverage that typically contains gluten, unless specifically made to be gluten-free.
What grain is absinthe made from?
Absinthe is primarily made from wormwood, not a grain. The main base alcohol in absinthe is typically derived from grapes. However, some modern absinthes may use grain-based neutral spirits as the base. Traditional absinthe production does not involve grains as a primary ingredient.
What alcohol can a celiac drink?
Celiacs can safely drink distilled alcoholic beverages like vodka, rum, gin, and whiskey, as the distillation process removes gluten. They can also enjoy naturally gluten-free options such as wine, hard cider, and most liqueurs. However, beer made from barley or wheat is off-limits unless it's specially crafted to be gluten-free. It's important for celiacs to always check labels and be cautious of added flavorings or ingredients that may contain gluten.
