    Is California Roll Gluten Free?

    Generally, California rolls are gluten-free as their main ingredients (rice, nori seaweed, cucumber, avocado, and imitation crab meat) do not contain gluten. However, it’s important to be cautious as some restaurants may use soy sauce containing wheat in their preparation, or there could be cross-contamination in the kitchen, so it’s always best to ask the restaurant or sushi chef to confirm if their California rolls are truly gluten-free.

    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 ).

    Frequently
    Asked Questions

    Do California rolls have gluten in them?
    California rolls typically do not contain gluten. However, this can depend on the specific ingredients and preparation methods used. The main components - rice, nori seaweed, cucumber, avocado, and imitation crab meat - are usually gluten-free. It's important to check with the restaurant or sushi maker to confirm, especially if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
    What sushi rolls are typically gluten-free?
    Most basic sushi rolls made with rice, nori seaweed, fish, and vegetables are naturally gluten-free. Rolls that use only these traditional ingredients, such as cucumber rolls, tuna rolls, or salmon rolls, are usually safe for those avoiding gluten. However, some specialty rolls may contain gluten-containing ingredients like tempura, imitation crab, or soy sauce. It's always best to check with the restaurant or chef about specific ingredients and preparation methods to ensure a roll is truly gluten-free.
    Are crab rolls gluten-free?
    Crab rolls are not typically gluten-free. The roll or bun used to make crab rolls usually contains wheat flour, which has gluten. However, some restaurants or recipes may offer gluten-free alternatives using special gluten-free breads or wraps. If you require a gluten-free option, it's best to check with the specific restaurant or recipe to confirm the ingredients used.
    Is soy sauce gluten free?
    Traditionally, soy sauce is not gluten-free as it typically contains wheat. However, there are now gluten-free soy sauce alternatives available on the market. These are usually made with 100% soy beans and no wheat. It's important for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease to carefully check labels or opt for specifically labeled gluten-free soy sauce options.
