Corn itself is naturally gluten-free. However, corn products may become contaminated with gluten during processing or manufacturing if they are produced in facilities that also handle wheat, barley, or rye.
Good source of fiber, which aids digestion and promotes feelings of fullness

Provides essential vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C, B vitamins, and magnesium
Rich in complex carbohydrates, offering sustained energy
Contains folate, which is important for pregnant women and fetal development
Low in fat and sodium, making it heart-healthy when consumed as part of a balanced diet
Gluten-free, making it suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity
Contains phytochemicals that may have anti-inflammatory properties
Provides a modest amount of plant-based protein
May help with blood sugar management due to its moderate glycemic index
Contains ferulic acid, which may have anti-cancer properties
Can contribute to healthy skin due to its vitamin C content
Supports healthy red blood cell formation thanks to its vitamin B12 and folic acid contentRemember that these benefits are most pronounced when corn is consumed as part of a varied, balanced diet, and some benefits may be reduced in highly processed corn products.
People with corn allergies or sensitivities
Individuals with a diagnosed corn intolerance
Those following a low-carb or ketogenic diet
People with diabetes who need to carefully monitor their carbohydrate intake
Individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases (in some cases)
Those following a paleo diet or other diets that exclude grains
People with certain digestive issues who have trouble processing high-FODMAP foods
Individuals trying to avoid genetically modified organisms (GMOs), as much corn is genetically modified
Those with a history of diverticulitis, during flare-ups
People with certain autoimmune conditions who find that corn exacerbates their symptoms
Individuals following a specific elimination diet under medical supervision
Those with celiac disease who are also sensitive to corn (although corn is gluten-free, some celiacs may react to it)Remember that dietary needs can vary greatly from person to person, and it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice.

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 ).
