Is Cornmeal Gluten Free?
Yes, cornmeal is naturally gluten-free as it is made from ground corn, which does not contain gluten. However, it’s important to check product labels to ensure there hasn’t been cross-contamination during processing if you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity.

Gluten-free: Suitable for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity
Rich in fiber: Aids digestion and promotes feelings of fullness
Good source of complex carbohydrates: Provides sustained energy
Contains essential minerals: Including iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc
Natural antioxidants: Contains carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin
Low in fat: Beneficial for those watching their fat intake
Source of B vitamins: Including thiamin, niacin, and folate
Helps control blood sugar: Due to its lower glycemic index compared to refined flour
Supports eye health: Thanks to its lutein and zeaxanthin content
Can be used as a natural exfoliant: In homemade beauty products
Provides some protein: Though not a complete protein source
People with corn allergies: Individuals allergic to corn should avoid cornmeal entirely.
Those with celiac disease: While corn is naturally gluten-free, some cornmeal products may be cross-contaminated with gluten during processing.
Individuals with gluten sensitivity: Similar to those with celiac disease, they should be cautious and choose certified gluten-free cornmeal.
People following a low-carb diet: Cornmeal is high in carbohydrates and may not fit into their dietary plan.
Those with diabetes: Cornmeal can cause blood sugar spikes, so diabetics should consume it in moderation and under medical guidance.
Individuals with digestive issues: Some people may find cornmeal difficult to digest, especially those with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other gastrointestinal disorders.
People with a history of diverticulitis: While not universally recommended, some doctors advise patients with diverticular disease to avoid foods with small seeds like those found in cornmeal.
Those following a paleo or grain-free diet: Cornmeal is a grain and is typically excluded from these dietary approaches.
Individuals with a sensitivity to FODMAPs: Cornmeal contains some FODMAPs, which may cause digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals.Remember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice regarding dietary restrictions.

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 ).
