    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 ).

    Gluten Free Alternatives
    Here are five gluten-free alternatives to barley flour, along with short descriptions:
    Almond Flour:Made from ground blanched almonds, this flour is high in protein and healthy fats. It has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and works well in baked goods, providing a moist texture.
    Buckwheat Flour:Despite its name, buckwheat is not related to wheat and is gluten-free. It has a strong, earthy flavor and is rich in nutrients. It's commonly used in pancakes, noodles, and some traditional European dishes.
    Coconut Flour:Produced from dried, ground coconut meat, this flour is high in fiber and low in carbohydrates. It's very absorbent, so recipes usually require less coconut flour compared to other flours.
    Rice Flour:Made from finely milled rice, this flour comes in white and brown varieties. It has a mild flavor and is often used in gluten-free baking mixes. It's particularly good for making crispy coatings on fried foods.
    Sorghum Flour:Derived from an ancient cereal grain, sorghum flour has a light color and mild, sweet flavor. It's rich in nutrients and has a texture similar to wheat flour, making it a versatile gluten-free option for baking.

    Frequently
    Asked Questions

    How much gluten is in barley flour?
    Barley flour contains a significant amount of gluten. On average, barley flour has about 5-8% gluten content by weight. This is less than wheat flour, which typically contains 10-13% gluten, but still enough to be problematic for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. For individuals who need to avoid gluten completely, barley flour is not considered gluten-free.
    Does barley have less gluten than wheat?
    Barley does contain gluten, but generally in lower amounts than wheat. However, the difference is not significant enough for barley to be considered safe for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Both grains are part of the gluten-containing grain family and should be avoided by individuals who need to follow a gluten-free diet. The exact gluten content can vary depending on the specific variety and processing methods used for both barley and wheat.
    Which grain is lowest in gluten?
    Rice is generally considered the grain lowest in gluten. In fact, rice is naturally gluten-free. Gluten is primarily found in wheat, barley, and rye. Other gluten-free grains include corn, millet, and quinoa.
    Should celiacs avoid barley?
    Yes, celiacs should avoid barley. Barley contains gluten, which is harmful to people with celiac disease. Consuming barley can trigger an immune response and cause damage to the small intestine in celiacs. It's important for those with celiac disease to strictly avoid all sources of gluten, including barley, wheat, and rye.
