    Is Chow Mein Gluten Free?

    Traditional chow mein is not gluten-free as it typically contains wheat-based noodles and soy sauce, both of which contain gluten. However, gluten-free versions can be made using rice noodles or other gluten-free alternatives, and by substituting regular soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos.

    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 ).

    Gluten Free Alternatives
    Here are five gluten-free alternatives to Chow Mein, along with short descriptions:
    Rice Noodles: Thin, translucent noodles made from rice flour and water. They have a tender texture and mild flavor, making them an excellent base for stir-fries and Asian-inspired dishes.
    Spiralized Vegetables: Vegetables like zucchini, carrots, or sweet potatoes cut into noodle-like shapes. They offer a low-carb, nutrient-dense alternative that adds color and crunch to dishes.
    Shirataki Noodles: Made from konjac yam, these translucent, gelatinous noodles are very low in calories and carbohydrates. They have a slightly chewy texture and absorb flavors well.
    Quinoa: A protein-rich seed that can be used as a base for stir-fries. When cooked, it has a fluffy texture and slightly nutty flavor, providing a nutritious alternative to noodles.
    Glass Noodles (Bean Thread Noodles): Made from mung bean starch, these thin, transparent noodles become clear when cooked. They have a slightly chewy texture and are great at absorbing flavors in stir-fries and soups.

Glass noodles, also known as cellophane noodles or bean thread noodles, are another gluten-free choice made from mung bean starch. Sweet potato noodles, common in Korean dishes but also used in some Chinese recipes, are gluten-free as well.
