However, some modern or commercially produced mochi products may contain added ingredients that include gluten, so it’s always best to check the label or ask about ingredients if you have celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.

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 ).

Asked Questions

Can celiacs eat mochi?
Mochi is traditionally made from glutinous rice, which despite its name, does not contain gluten. This makes traditional mochi generally safe for celiacs to consume. However, some commercially produced mochi may contain added ingredients or be processed in facilities that handle gluten-containing products. It's always best for celiacs to check ingredient labels carefully and consult with the manufacturer if there's any doubt about the gluten-free status of a particular mochi product.
Does Trader Joe's mochi have gluten?
Trader Joe's offers several varieties of mochi products. Most of their mochi ice cream flavors are gluten-free. However, their Mini Mochi ice cream may contain wheat, so it's not gluten-free. It's always best to check the specific product label for the most up-to-date ingredient information.
Does glutinous rice flour have gluten?
Glutinous rice flour does not contain gluten, despite its name. The term "glutinous" refers to the sticky texture of the rice when cooked, not to the presence of gluten. Glutinous rice flour is made from a type of short-grain rice that is naturally gluten-free. It is safe for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity to consume.
Does mochi have wheat flour?
Traditionally, mochi does not contain wheat flour. It is typically made from short-grain glutinous rice, which is pounded into a sticky paste. However, some modern variations or fusion recipes might incorporate wheat flour. It's always best to check the ingredients list or ask the maker if you have specific dietary concerns.
