Baker’s yeast itself is naturally gluten-free. However, some commercial yeast products may contain trace amounts of gluten due to manufacturing processes or added ingredients, so it’s important for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity to check product labels or contact manufacturers for specific information.

People with yeast allergies or sensitivities
Individuals with Crohn’s disease, as yeast may exacerbate symptoms
Those with candida overgrowth or recurrent yeast infections
People following a low-FODMAP diet for digestive issues
Individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) who find yeast triggers symptoms
Those on a strict anti-candida diet
People with gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, unless the yeast is certified gluten-free
Individuals following certain types of elimination diets
Those with compromised immune systems, in some cases
People taking certain medications that may interact with yeast (always consult a healthcare provider)
Individuals with specific metabolic disorders that affect yeast processing
Those following particular religious or dietary restrictions that prohibit yeast consumptionRemember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

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 ).
