Barley malt is not gluten-free, as it is derived from barley, which contains gluten. People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid barley malt and products containing it.

People with celiac disease, as barley contains gluten
Individuals with non-celiac gluten sensitivity
Those with a barley allergy
People following a strict gluten-free diet for medical reasons
Individuals with wheat allergy (due to potential cross-contamination)
Those with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) who are sensitive to gluten
People following a low FODMAP diet, as barley is high in fructans
Individuals with certain types of IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) who are sensitive to gluten
Those with dermatitis herpetiformis, a skin manifestation of celiac disease
People with gluten ataxia, a neurological condition triggered by gluten
Individuals undergoing a gluten challenge for diagnostic purposes
Those with barley grass allergy (as there might be traces of barley grains in barley grass products)Remember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your 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 ).
