    Is Sourdough bread Gluten Free?

    Sourdough bread is not inherently gluten-free, as it is typically made with wheat flour which contains gluten. However, the fermentation process in sourdough bread can break down some of the gluten proteins, potentially making it easier to digest for some people with mild gluten sensitivities, though it is still not safe for those with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance.

    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 ).

    Quinoa sourdough: Uses quinoa flour, providing a protein-rich option with a slightly earthy taste.
    Rice flour sourdough: Combines white and brown rice flours for a mild-flavored bread with a light texture.
    Millet sourdough: Made with millet flour, offering a slightly sweet and corn-like flavor profile.

    Frequently
    Asked Questions 1

    Is sourdough bread ok for gluten intolerance?
    Sourdough bread is not gluten-free, so it's generally not safe for people with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance. However, some people with mild gluten sensitivity may find sourdough bread easier to digest than regular bread. This is because the fermentation process in sourdough can partially break down gluten proteins. It's best to consult with a doctor or nutritionist before trying sourdough if you have gluten issues.
    What bread has the least gluten?
    Gluten-free breads are the obvious choice for those seeking to avoid gluten entirely. Among traditional wheat-based breads, sourdough bread tends to have lower gluten content due to the fermentation process. Breads made with alternative flours like almond, coconut, or rice flour are also naturally lower in gluten. However, for those with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity, it's safest to stick with certified gluten-free options.
    Is sourdough bread inflammatory?
    Sourdough bread is generally considered less inflammatory than regular bread. The fermentation process used to make sourdough breaks down some of the gluten and phytic acid, potentially making it easier to digest. Additionally, sourdough bread has a lower glycemic index, which means it causes a slower rise in blood sugar compared to other breads. However, individuals with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease should still avoid sourdough bread made with wheat flour.
    How much gluten is in real sourdough bread?
    The gluten content in real sourdough bread can vary depending on the specific recipe and preparation method. Generally, sourdough bread contains less gluten than conventional bread due to the fermentation process, which breaks down some of the gluten proteins. However, it's important to note that sourdough bread is not gluten-free unless specifically made with gluten-free flours. For those with gluten sensitivities, sourdough bread may be easier to digest, but it still contains gluten and is not suitable for people with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance.
