Gluten-free option available (if processed in a gluten-free facility), suitable for those with gluten sensitivitiesRemember that while pearled barley has many health benefits, it has had some of its bran removed, so it’s not quite as nutritious as whole grain barley. However, it still offers significant nutritional value and health benefits.

Who should avoid Pearled Barley

People with celiac disease: Barley contains gluten, which can trigger symptoms in those with celiac disease.

Individuals with non-celiac gluten sensitivity: Some people experience adverse reactions to gluten without having celiac disease.

Those with a wheat allergy: While barley is not wheat, cross-contamination can occur during processing, posing a risk for people with severe wheat allergies.

Individuals following a gluten-free diet: Barley is not suitable for strict gluten-free diets.

People with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): Some individuals with IBS may find that barley exacerbates their symptoms.

Those on a low FODMAP diet: Barley is high in fructans, which are not well-tolerated on a low FODMAP diet.

Individuals with grain allergies: Some people may have specific allergies to barley or other grains.

People with certain digestive disorders: Those with inflammatory bowel diseases like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis may need to limit or avoid barley, depending on their condition and symptoms.

Individuals on a low-carb or ketogenic diet: Barley is relatively high in carbohydrates and may not fit into these dietary plans.

Those with diabetes who are closely monitoring their carbohydrate intake: While barley has a lower glycemic index than some grains, it still contains carbohydrates that can affect blood sugar levels.Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have underlying health conditions.

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 ).
