Ben’s Original Rice is generally considered gluten-free, as rice itself is naturally free from gluten. However, it’s always recommended to check the specific product packaging or contact the manufacturer directly to confirm, especially if you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, as there could be potential for cross-contamination during processing.

Individuals on a low-carb or ketogenic diet, as rice is high in carbohydrates
People with diabetes who need to carefully monitor their carbohydrate intake
Those following a low-FODMAP diet, depending on the specific variety of rice and individual tolerance
Individuals with rice allergies (although rare, they do exist)
People on a grain-free diet
Those following a paleo or primal diet, which typically excludes grains
Individuals trying to lose weight who are limiting their calorie or carbohydrate intake
People with certain digestive disorders who may have trouble processing grains
Those following a raw food diet, as rice needs to be cookedIt’s important to note that for most people, rice can be part of a healthy, balanced diet. Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized dietary advice.

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 ).
