Is Sherbet Ice Cream Gluten Free?
Generally speaking, traditional sherbet is gluten-free as it’s typically made from fruit puree, sugar, and water, without any gluten-containing ingredients. However, it’s always important to check the specific product’s label or with the manufacturer, as some brands might add ingredients that contain gluten or process their sherbet in facilities that handle gluten-containing products.

Lower fat content: Sherbet generally contains less fat than traditional ice cream, making it a lighter option for those watching their fat intake.
Fewer calories: Due to its lower fat content, sherbet often has fewer calories than regular ice cream.
Fruit-based ingredients: Many sherbets are made with real fruit or fruit juices, which can provide some vitamins and minerals.
Potential source of vitamin C: Sherbets made with citrus fruits like lemon, lime, or orange may contain vitamin C.
Calcium content: Sherbet often contains some milk or dairy products, which can contribute to calcium intake.
Hydration: The higher water content in sherbet compared to ice cream can contribute to hydration.
Lower cholesterol: With less butterfat than ice cream, sherbet may be a better choice for those monitoring their cholesterol intake.
Refreshing treat: The light, fruity flavor can be a refreshing and satisfying way to enjoy a cold dessert.
Potential probiotic benefits: Some sherbets may contain live cultures, which could offer probiotic benefits.
Alternative for lactose sensitivity: Some sherbets contain less lactose than regular ice cream, making them a potential option for those with mild lactose sensitivity.It’s important to note that sherbet still contains sugar and should be consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
Lactose intolerant individuals: Although sherbet contains less milk than traditional ice cream, it still contains some dairy and may cause discomfort for those with lactose intolerance.
People with dairy allergies: Sherbet typically contains some milk products, which could trigger an allergic reaction in those with dairy allergies.
Diabetics: Sherbet is often high in sugar content and may cause blood sugar spikes in people with diabetes.
Those on a low-sugar diet: Due to its high sugar content, sherbet may not be suitable for people trying to reduce their sugar intake.
Individuals with certain gastrointestinal conditions: Some people with conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may find that the sugar content in sherbet exacerbates their symptoms.
Those with artificial color or flavor sensitivities: Some sherbets contain artificial colors or flavors that may cause reactions in sensitive individuals.
People following a vegan diet: Most sherbet contains milk products and is not suitable for vegans.
Those with specific fruit allergies: If allergic to the fruit flavor used in the sherbet (e.g., strawberry, lemon), these individuals should avoid that particular variety.
People on a low-calorie diet: Sherbet, while often lower in calories than ice cream, still contains a significant amount of calories and may not fit into some low-calorie diets.
Individuals with cold sensitivity: Some people experience tooth pain or headaches when consuming very cold foods and may need to avoid or limit sherbet consumption.

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 ).
