Most baked beans are naturally gluten-free as they are typically made from navy beans, water, salt, and other gluten-free ingredients. However, it’s important to always check the label, as some brands may add flavorings or thickeners that contain gluten, or there could be cross-contamination during processing.

People with digestive disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) or Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), as beans can exacerbate symptoms
Individuals with a legume allergy or sensitivity
Those following a low-FODMAP diet, as beans are high in fermentable carbohydrates
People with gout or at high risk for gout, due to the high purine content in beans
Individuals on a very low-carb or ketogenic diet, as beans are relatively high in carbohydrates
Those with severe flatulence issues, as beans can increase gas production
People with certain types of kidney stones, particularly those caused by oxalates
Individuals with alpha-galactosidase deficiency, who have difficulty digesting complex sugars in beans
Those on low-potassium diets (often for kidney issues), as beans are high in potassium
People with sulfite sensitivity, if the baked beans contain added sulfites as preservatives
Individuals trying to reduce their sodium intake, unless choosing low-sodium varietiesRemember, these are general guidelines, and it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice.

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 ).
