Corn itself is naturally gluten-free. However, milled corn products may not be gluten-free if they are processed in facilities that also handle wheat, barley, or rye, potentially leading to cross-contamination.

Versatile ingredient: Can be used in various recipes, promoting dietary diversity
May help lower cholesterol: The fiber content can contribute to reducing LDL cholesterol levels
Provides manganese: Important for bone health and wound healing
Contains phosphorus: Supports bone and teeth health
May aid in blood sugar control: Due to its lower glycemic index compared to refined grainsIt’s important to note that the nutritional content can vary depending on the level of processing and whether the corn is whole grain or refined.
People with corn allergies: Individuals with diagnosed corn allergies should avoid all corn products, including milled corn.
Those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity: Although corn is naturally gluten-free, cross-contamination can occur during processing. They should look for certified gluten-free milled corn products.
Individuals on a low-carb diet: Milled corn is high in carbohydrates, so those following strict low-carb diets may need to avoid or limit it.
People with digestive issues: Some individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other digestive disorders may find that corn products, including milled corn, exacerbate their symptoms.
Those with diabetes or at risk for diabetes: Milled corn can cause blood sugar spikes, so individuals with diabetes or prediabetes should consume it in moderation and under medical guidance.
People with a history of diverticulitis: In some cases, small corn particles can irritate the diverticula in the colon, potentially causing inflammation.
Individuals following a Paleo or grain-free diet: These diets typically exclude all grains, including corn products.
Those with certain genetic disorders: People with rare genetic conditions like hereditary fructose intolerance may need to avoid corn products.Remember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized advice on dietary restrictions.

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 ).
