Health Information
Benefits of Sourdough Naturally

Improved digestibility: The fermentation process breaks down gluten and other proteins, making it easier for some people to digest compared to regular bread.

Lower glycemic index: Sourdough bread typically has a lower glycemic index than regular bread, potentially leading to better blood sugar control.

Increased nutrient availability: The fermentation process can increase the bioavailability of nutrients like folate, iron, and zinc.

Prebiotic properties: Sourdough contains prebiotic fibers that can support gut health by feeding beneficial bacteria.

Reduced phytate content: Fermentation reduces phytates, which can interfere with mineral absorption.

Potential probiotic benefits: Some sourdough breads may contain live beneficial bacteria, although this depends on the baking process.

Lower FODMAPs: The fermentation process can reduce FODMAPs, potentially making it more tolerable for some people with IBS.

Extended shelf life: Natural preservatives produced during fermentation can help the bread stay fresh longer without artificial additives.

Potential antioxidant properties: Some studies suggest sourdough fermentation may increase antioxidant content.

May support weight management: The lower glycemic index and improved nutrient profile may help with satiety and weight control as part of a balanced diet.Remember that while sourdough offers these potential benefits, it’s still important to consume it in moderation as part of a varied, balanced diet.

Who should avoid Sourdough Naturally

People with celiac disease (sourdough made from wheat flour still contains gluten)

Individuals with non-celiac gluten sensitivity

Those on a low-carb or ketogenic diet

People with yeast allergies

Individuals following a low FODMAP diet (in some cases)

Those with specific grain allergies (depending on the flour used)

People on a very low-sodium diet (sourdough can be higher in sodium than other breads)It’s important to note that many people can enjoy sourdough bread as part of a healthy diet. If you have specific health concerns, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian.

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 ).

Frequently
Asked Questions 1

What bread is naturally gluten-free?
Rice bread is naturally gluten-free. Corn bread made with 100% cornmeal is also gluten-free. Bread made from alternative flours like almond, coconut, or cassava can be gluten-free. However, it's important to check labels, as some varieties may contain added gluten or be processed in facilities that handle gluten-containing grains.
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, which can be easier on digestion. Additionally, sourdough contains beneficial bacteria that may support gut health. However, individual responses can vary, and those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease should still exercise caution.
How much gluten is in real sourdough bread?
Real sourdough bread typically contains less gluten than conventional bread. The long fermentation process in sourdough bread-making breaks down some of the gluten proteins. However, sourdough bread is not gluten-free unless made with gluten-free flours. The exact amount of gluten in sourdough bread can vary depending on the flour used and the fermentation time.
Is 100% sourdough gluten-free?
No, 100% sourdough bread is not gluten-free. Sourdough is typically made with wheat flour, which contains gluten. While the fermentation process in sourdough can break down some of the gluten, it does not eliminate it completely. People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid traditional sourdough bread.
