Individuals on a low-carb or ketogenic diet: Potatoes are high in carbohydrates and may not fit into these dietary plans.
Those with potato allergies: Although rare, some people may be allergic to potatoes.
People with kidney problems: Potatoes are high in potassium, which can be problematic for those with kidney disease or on dialysis.
Individuals with inflammatory bowel diseases: Some people with conditions like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis may find that potatoes exacerbate their symptoms.
Those with nightshade sensitivities: Potatoes belong to the nightshade family, and some people report increased inflammation or joint pain when consuming nightshades.
People trying to lose weight: While potatoes can be part of a healthy diet, their high carbohydrate content may make them less suitable for some weight loss plans.
Individuals with FODMAP sensitivities: Some people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may need to limit potato intake due to their FODMAP content.Remember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized dietary advice.

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 ).
