Is Spaetzle Gluten Free?
Traditional spaetzle is not gluten-free as it is typically made with wheat flour. However, gluten-free versions of spaetzle can be made using alternative flours such as rice flour, corn flour, or gluten-free flour blends.

Source of carbohydrates: Provides energy for daily activities
Contains some protein: Helps with muscle maintenance and repair
Low in fat: When prepared without excessive butter or oil
Provides some B vitamins: Particularly if made with whole wheat flour
Can be a good vehicle for vegetables: When mixed with nutritious ingredients
Offers some iron: Especially if made with enriched flour
Contains small amounts of calcium: From eggs used in the recipe
Can be filling: Potentially helping with portion control
Versatile: Can be paired with lean proteins and vegetables for a more balanced meal
Homemade versions allow control over ingredients: Can be made healthier than store-bought alternativesIt’s important to note that Spaetzle is relatively high in carbohydrates and calories, so it should be consumed in moderation as part of a varied diet. The overall healthiness of the dish largely depends on how it’s prepared and what it’s served with.
People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity (as traditional spaetzle is made with wheat flour)
Individuals with egg allergies (since eggs are a key ingredient in spaetzle)
Those following a vegan diet (due to the egg content)
People on a low-carb or ketogenic diet (as spaetzle is high in carbohydrates)
Individuals with wheat allergies
Those following a strict paleo diet (which excludes grains and dairy)
People with diabetes who need to carefully monitor their carbohydrate intake
Individuals on a calorie-restricted diet (as spaetzle can be calorie-dense)
Those with lactose intolerance, if the spaetzle is served with dairy-based sauces or cheese
People with specific religious or cultural dietary restrictions that prohibit eggs or wheatIt’s important to note that there are gluten-free and egg-free versions of spaetzle available for those with specific dietary needs. Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian if you have concerns about including spaetzle in your diet.

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 ).
