Is Jello Cheesecake Gluten Free?
Traditional cheesecake made with a graham cracker crust is not gluten-free, as graham crackers contain wheat flour. However, Jello cheesecake can be made gluten-free by using a gluten-free crust (such as one made from crushed gluten-free cookies or nuts) and ensuring all other ingredients, including the Jello mix, are certified gluten-free.
Calcium from cheese and milk products, which is important for bone health
Small amounts of protein from the cheese and eggs
Gelatin (in the Jello) may support joint health and skin elasticity
Potential probiotic benefits if using certain types of cultured cheese
Vitamin A from the dairy ingredients, which is important for eye health
Some B vitamins from dairy ingredients, which support metabolism
A small amount of phosphorus from dairy, which is important for bone health
Potential mood-boosting effects due to its sweet taste (though this is psychological rather than nutritional)It’s important to note that these benefits are minimal compared to the high calorie and sugar content of Jello Cheesecake. For health benefits, it’s better to consume nutrient-dense whole foods as part of a balanced diet.
Individuals with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies (due to the cheese and other dairy ingredients)
People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity (if the crust contains gluten)
Diabetics or those monitoring sugar intake (due to high sugar content in both Jello and cheesecake)
Individuals on a low-calorie or weight loss diet (as cheesecake is typically high in calories)
Those with gelatin allergies or sensitivities
Vegans or vegetarians who avoid animal products (as gelatin is derived from animals)
People with certain religious or cultural dietary restrictions (e.g., those who avoid pork-derived gelatin)
Individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) if the Jello contains aspartame
Those on a low-fat diet (as cheesecake is generally high in fat)
People with certain gastrointestinal conditions that require limiting rich or fatty foods
Individuals with egg allergies (if the recipe includes eggs)Remember that specific ingredients can vary by recipe, so it’s always best to check the ingredient list if you have any dietary concerns or 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 ).
