Buckwheat noodles, also known as soba noodles, are often considered gluten-free because buckwheat itself is a naturally gluten-free grain. However, many commercially available buckwheat noodles contain wheat flour as well, so it’s important to check the ingredients or look for specifically labeled gluten-free buckwheat noodles to ensure they are truly gluten-free.
High in protein: Buckwheat is a complete protein, containing all nine essential amino acids.
Rich in fiber: Helps improve digestion and promotes feelings of fullness.
Low glycemic index: May help regulate blood sugar levels and manage diabetes.
Gluten-free: Suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity (when made from 100% buckwheat).
Rich in antioxidants: Contains rutin and other flavonoids that may protect against cellular damage.
Good source of minerals: Provides manganese, copper, magnesium, and iron.
Heart-healthy: May help lower blood pressure and reduce cholesterol levels.
Supports bone health: Contains phosphorus, which is essential for bone formation.
Promotes digestive health: Contains prebiotics that support beneficial gut bacteria.
Weight management: The high fiber and protein content may aid in weight control.
Source of complex carbohydrates: Provides sustained energy release.
Contains resistant starch: May improve insulin sensitivity and gut health.
Supports liver function: Contains compounds that may help protect the liver.Remember that these benefits are most pronounced when the noodles are made from 100% buckwheat and consumed as part of a balanced diet.
People with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity (if the noodles are not certified gluten-free)
Individuals with a known buckwheat allergy
Those with a history of allergic reactions to other seeds or grains
People on a low-carb or ketogenic diet (due to the high carbohydrate content)
Individuals with digestive issues who are sensitive to high-fiber foods
Those taking blood-thinning medications (buckwheat may interact with these drugs)
People with diabetes who need to carefully monitor their carbohydrate intake
Individuals following a low FODMAP diet (buckwheat is high in fructans)
Those with a history of kidney stones (buckwheat is high in oxalates)
People with certain autoimmune conditions who are sensitive to pseudocerealsRemember, 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 or concerns.

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 ).
