Is Confectioner Sugar Gluten Free?

Confectioner’s sugar, also known as powdered sugar, is typically gluten-free as it is made from finely ground sugar with a small amount of cornstarch added to prevent clumping. However, it’s always best to check the label or contact the manufacturer to confirm, especially if you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, as there can occasionally be cross-contamination during processing or variations in ingredients between brands.

It is high in calories and carbohydrates, primarily in the form of simple sugars.

Excessive consumption of sugar can lead to various health issues, including obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay.

There are no notable vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients in confectioner’s sugar that would provide health benefits.

Its primary use is in baking and decorating, where it’s valued for its fine texture and ability to dissolve quickly.If you’re looking for sweeteners with potential health benefits, you might want to consider alternatives like:

Raw honey (contains antioxidants and has antibacterial properties)

Stevia (a natural, zero-calorie sweetener)

Monk fruit extract (another natural, zero-calorie option)

Coconut sugar (contains some minerals and has a lower glycemic index than regular sugar)Always remember that any form of added sugar should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

People following a low-carb or ketogenic diet, as confectioner’s sugar is high in carbohydrates

Individuals with fructose intolerance or malabsorption, as confectioner’s sugar often contains small amounts of cornstarch, which can be problematic for some

Those with corn allergies, as most commercial confectioner’s sugar contains cornstarch as an anti-caking agent

People trying to reduce their overall sugar intake for general health reasons

Individuals with certain gastrointestinal conditions that may be aggravated by high sugar intake

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 ).

Asked Questions

Can celiacs eat powdered sugar?
Celiac individuals need to be cautious with powdered sugar. While pure powdered sugar is typically gluten-free, some brands may contain added starch as an anti-caking agent.

It's important for celiacs to check labels carefully or contact manufacturers to confirm the source of any added ingredients in powdered sugar.
