Typically, cherry pie filling is gluten-free as it’s mainly made from cherries, sugar, and thickeners like cornstarch or modified food starch. However, it’s always important to check the label of store-bought cherry pie filling, as some brands may include additives or flavorings that contain gluten.
Source of antioxidants: Cherries are rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which may help protect cells from damage.
Potential anti-inflammatory properties: The antioxidants in cherries may help reduce inflammation in the body.
Vitamin C content: Cherries contain vitamin C, which supports immune function and skin health.
Fiber: Cherry pie filling provides some dietary fiber, which aids digestion and promotes feelings of fullness.
Potassium: Cherries contain potassium, an essential mineral for heart and muscle function.

Potential arthritis relief: Some studies suggest that cherry consumption may help alleviate symptoms of gout and arthritis.
Possible exercise recovery aid: The anti-inflammatory properties of cherries may help reduce muscle soreness after exercise.
Natural sweetness: Cherry pie filling can satisfy sweet cravings with fruit-based sugars.

People with diabetes or pre-diabetes, due to its high sugar content
Individuals on a low-sugar or low-carb diet
Those with fructose intolerance or malabsorption
People with a history of kidney stones (cherries are high in oxalates)
Individuals allergic to cherries or other fruits in the Rosaceae family
Those taking blood-thinning medications like warfarin (cherries can interact with these drugs)
People with gout, as cherries may affect uric acid levels
Individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) who are sensitive to FODMAPs
Those trying to lose weight, due to the high calorie content
People with dental issues or prone to cavities, because of the high sugar content
Individuals with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as acidic foods may trigger symptoms

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 ).
