Is Skittles Gluten Free?
Yes, Skittles are generally considered to be gluten-free. The ingredients used in Skittles do not typically contain gluten, making them a safe option for most people with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
Quick Energy Boost
Skittles are packed with sugar, which provides a fast source of energy. The sugar in Skittles is easily absorbed by the body, leading to a rapid increase in blood sugar levels and a quick boost in energy. This can be helpful for individuals who need a sudden burst of energy, such as during physical activity, workouts, or moments of fatigue. However, this energy spike is usually followed by a rapid decline, so it’s not ideal for sustained energy.
Variety of Flavors
Skittles come in a wide range of flavors and colors, which can make them more enjoyable than other candy types with limited flavor profiles. The variety in flavors (such as grape, lemon, lime, orange, and strawberry) adds interest to the eating experience, giving you the option to choose your favorite flavors or mix them together.
Instant Gratification (Satisfying Sweet Cravings)
Skittles are a sweet and tangy treat that can quickly satisfy cravings for sugary foods. Instead of consuming a high-fat or calorie-dense dessert, a small portion of Skittles can satisfy sweet cravings without the same levels of fat or heaviness. This can help individuals manage cravings in the short term.
Quick Recovery from Low Blood Sugar (Hypoglycemia)
In certain cases, Skittles may be helpful for individuals who experience low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), such as people with diabetes who need a fast-acting carbohydrate to raise their blood sugar levels. The high sugar content in Skittles can provide an immediate source of glucose to stabilize blood sugar in emergencies. This makes them a handy item to carry for people prone to sudden drops in blood sugar.
Satisfying Sweet Cravings Without Fat
Compared to other types of candy, like chocolates, Skittles are fat-free. For those looking to limit their fat intake but still want a sweet treat, Skittles provide a fat-free option that satisfies a sweet tooth without adding saturated fats or cholesterol, which are found in many other desserts.
Boost in Dopamine
Sugary foods, including Skittles, can temporarily boost dopamine levels, which is the brain’s “feel-good” neurotransmitter. This can result in feelings of pleasure and satisfaction after consuming the candy, enhancing your mood for a short time. While this is a temporary effect, it can help provide emotional relief or a sense of happiness when enjoyed as an occasional indulgence.
People with diabetes or pre-diabetes, due to the high sugar content
Individuals trying to lose weight or maintain a healthy weight
Those with dental issues or concerns about tooth decay
People with allergies to any of the ingredients in Skittles (e.g., corn syrup, sugar, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, fruit juice, artificial colors)
Individuals following a vegan diet, as Skittles contain gelatin derived from animal sources
Those with phenylketonuria (PKU), as Skittles contain phenylalanine
People with sensitivities to artificial food dyes or colorings
Individuals on a low-carbohydrate or ketogenic diet
Those with gastrointestinal sensitivities to certain food additives
Anyone advised by their healthcare provider to avoid or limit candy consumption for specific health reasonsRemember that occasional consumption of Skittles is generally fine for most people, but it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional if you have specific health concerns or dietary restrictions.

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 ).
