    Is Corn Meal Gluten Free?

    Corn meal is naturally gluten-free as it is made from ground corn, which does not contain gluten. However, it’s important to check product labels or choose certified gluten-free corn meal to ensure there has been no cross-contamination during processing or packaging with gluten-containing grains.

    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

    Does corn masa flour contain gluten?
    Corn masa flour does not contain gluten. It is made from corn that has been treated with lime and ground into a fine flour. Masa flour is naturally gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. However, it's always important to check labels for potential cross-contamination if you have severe gluten allergies.
    Is corn masa flour the same as corn flour?
    Corn masa flour and corn flour are not the same. Masa flour is made from corn that has been treated with lime in a process called nixtamalization, which alters its flavor and texture. Regular corn flour is simply finely ground corn kernels. Masa flour is used for making tortillas and tamales, while corn flour is often used in baking or as a thickener.
    Does corn flour contain gluten?
    Corn flour itself does not naturally contain gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, but not in corn. However, there is a risk of cross-contamination if corn flour is processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing grains. For those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it's important to choose corn flour that is certified gluten-free to ensure safety.
    Is masa for tamales gluten-free?
    Masa for tamales is typically gluten-free. It is traditionally made from corn, which does not contain gluten. However, it's important to check the specific ingredients used, as some commercially prepared masa mixes may contain wheat flour or other gluten-containing additives. If you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, it's best to make your own masa or purchase from a trusted gluten-free source.
