Generally, traditional Andouille sausage is gluten-free as it’s typically made from pork, spices, and natural casings without any wheat-based ingredients. However, it’s always important to check the label or with the manufacturer, as some commercial varieties may contain gluten-containing additives or fillers.
Source of protein: Andouille sausage is rich in protein, which is essential for muscle growth, repair, and maintenance.
Vitamin B12: Contains vitamin B12, which is important for nerve function and the formation of red blood cells.
Iron: Provides iron, which is crucial for oxygen transport in the body and preventing anemia.
Zinc: Contains zinc, which supports immune function and wound healing.
Selenium: Offers selenium, an antioxidant that supports thyroid function and helps protect cells from damage.
Flavor enhancer: Its strong flavor can help reduce the need for additional salt in dishes, potentially lowering overall sodium intake.
Versatility: Can be used in small amounts to add flavor to vegetable-rich dishes, potentially increasing vegetable consumption.
Cultural significance: For some, it may provide psychological benefits through cultural connection and enjoyment of traditional foods.Remember, Andouille sausage is also high in saturated fat and sodium, so it should be consumed sparingly as part of a varied diet.

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 ).
