Most traditional pasta is not gluten-free as it is typically made from wheat flour, which contains gluten. However, there are many gluten-free pasta alternatives available made from ingredients such as rice, corn, quinoa, or legumes for those who need to avoid gluten in their diet.

Good source of complex carbohydrates for sustained energy
Low in sodium and cholesterol-free (plain pasta without added sauces)
Contains essential nutrients like iron and B-vitamins, especially in whole grain varieties
Provides dietary fiber, particularly in whole wheat pasta
Low glycemic index, which helps maintain stable blood sugar levels
Can be part of a heart-healthy Mediterranean diet
Versatile base for incorporating vegetables and lean proteins
Generally low in fat, making it suitable for weight management when portion-controlled
Contains folic acid, which is important for cell growth and development
Can be enriched with additional nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids in some varieties
Provides a feeling of fullness, which can help with appetite control
Easily digestible for most people
Can be a good pre-workout meal due to its carbohydrate contentRemember that these benefits are maximized when pasta is consumed in moderation and as part of a varied, balanced diet.
People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity (unless the pasta is gluten-free)
Individuals following a low-carb or ketogenic diet
Those with diabetes or pre-diabetes who need to manage their carbohydrate intake
People with wheat allergies (unless the pasta is made from alternative grains)
Individuals trying to lose weight who are limiting calorie-dense foods
Those following a paleo or grain-free diet
People with certain digestive disorders who may have trouble processing complex carbohydrates
Individuals with a corn allergy (if the pasta contains corn-based ingredients)
Those following a low FODMAP diet for IBS management (in some cases)
People with specific health conditions who have been advised by their doctor to limit refined carbohydratesRemember that many of these restrictions can be addressed by choosing alternative pasta types (e.g., gluten-free, low-carb, or veggie-based options) or by consuming pasta in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

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 ).
