Crab salad is typically gluten-free as its main ingredients (crab meat, mayonnaise, and vegetables) do not contain gluten. However, it’s important to check all ingredients, especially any seasonings or dressings used, as some may contain gluten or be processed in facilities that handle gluten-containing products.

High in protein: Crab meat is an excellent source of lean protein, which is essential for muscle growth and repair.
Low in calories: When prepared with light dressing, crab salad can be a low-calorie meal option.
Rich in omega-3 fatty acids: These healthy fats support heart and brain health.
Good source of vitamins: Crab meat contains vitamins B12, A, and C, which support various bodily functions.
Mineral-rich: Crab provides selenium, zinc, and copper, which are important for immune function and overall health.
High in phosphorus: This mineral is crucial for bone health and cellular function.
Contains antioxidants: Crab meat has antioxidants that help protect cells from damage.
Supports thyroid function: The iodine in crab meat is beneficial for thyroid health.
Low in saturated fat: This makes it a heart-healthy protein option.
Provides vitamin E: This vitamin acts as an antioxidant and supports skin health.
Contains choline: This nutrient is important for brain function and development.Remember that the overall healthiness of crab salad depends on how it’s prepared, particularly the type and amount of dressing used.
People with shellfish allergies: Crab is a shellfish and can cause severe allergic reactions in those with shellfish allergies.
Individuals with seafood allergies: Even if not specifically allergic to crab, those with other seafood allergies should be cautious.
Pregnant women: Due to the risk of foodborne illness and potential mercury content, pregnant women should consult their doctor before consuming crab salad.
Young children: Similar to pregnant women, young children may be more susceptible to foodborne illnesses.
People with compromised immune systems: They may be at higher risk for foodborne illnesses from raw or undercooked seafood.
Those on a low-sodium diet: Crab meat can be high in sodium, especially if the salad contains additional salt.
Individuals with gout: Crab is high in purines, which can exacerbate gout symptoms.
People with iodine sensitivity: Crab is rich in iodine, which may cause issues for those with iodine sensitivities.
Those following certain religious dietary restrictions: Some religions prohibit the consumption of shellfish.
Anyone with concerns about mercury exposure: While crab is generally lower in mercury than some other seafood, those worried about mercury intake should consult a doctor.

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 ).
