However, some sushi rolls may contain gluten in ingredients like soy sauce, imitation crab (surimi), or tempura batter, so it’s important to check specific ingredients or ask the restaurant if you have gluten sensitivities.

    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 ).

    Frequently
    Asked Questions

    What sushi is not gluten-free?
    Most sushi rolls that contain imitation crab (surimi) are not gluten-free, as surimi often contains wheat. Soy sauce, commonly served with sushi, typically contains gluten unless it's specifically labeled gluten-free. Some sushi restaurants may use vinegars or other seasonings that contain gluten in their rice. Additionally, tempura-based sushi rolls are not gluten-free due to the wheat flour used in the batter.
    Can you eat sushi if you're gluten intolerant?
    Generally, most sushi is safe for people with gluten intolerance. The main ingredients like rice, fish, and vegetables are naturally gluten-free. However, some sushi ingredients may contain gluten, such as soy sauce, imitation crab meat, and certain sauces or marinades. It's important to ask about ingredients and preparation methods when ordering sushi if you have gluten intolerance.
    Is a California roll gluten-free?
    A traditional California roll is not necessarily gluten-free. The main concern is the imitation crab meat, which often contains wheat as a binding agent. Additionally, soy sauce typically used with sushi contains gluten. However, it is possible to find or request gluten-free versions of California rolls at some restaurants.
    How do you avoid gluten in sushi?
    To avoid gluten in sushi, opt for sushi rolls made with rice and nori (seaweed) only, without any sauces or tempura. Choose sashimi, which is plain raw fish without rice or other ingredients. Be cautious of soy sauce, as most varieties contain gluten, so bring your own gluten-free soy sauce or ask if the restaurant offers a gluten-free option. Always inform your server about your gluten sensitivity to ensure they can guide you towards safe menu choices and prevent cross-contamination in the kitchen.
