Is Sprouted Bread Gluten Free?
Sprouted bread made from wheat, barley, or rye is not gluten-free, as these grains contain gluten even after sprouting. However, sprouted bread made from naturally gluten-free grains like quinoa, millet, or buckwheat can be gluten-free if processed in a gluten-free facility.

Higher nutrient content: Sprouting increases the availability of vitamins and minerals.
Increased protein quality: Sprouting can improve the amino acid profile of grains.
Better digestibility: Sprouting breaks down some of the starches, making it easier to digest.
Lower glycemic index: May cause a slower, more gradual rise in blood sugar compared to regular bread.
More fiber: Sprouted grains often contain more fiber than their non-sprouted counterparts.
Reduced antinutrients: Sprouting can decrease compounds that interfere with nutrient absorption.
Increased antioxidants: Sprouting can boost the levels of beneficial antioxidants in grains.
Potential prebiotic effects: May support gut health by promoting beneficial bacteria growth.
Lower gluten content: While not gluten-free, sprouted wheat bread may have less gluten than regular wheat bread.
Increased enzyme activity: Sprouting activates enzymes that can aid in digestion.
Potential allergen reduction: Some people with mild wheat sensitivities may tolerate sprouted wheat better.
No added sugars: Many sprouted breads are made without added sugars.Remember that while sprouted bread offers these potential benefits, it’s still important to consume it as part of a balanced diet.
People with compromised immune systems: The moist environment required for sprouting can potentially harbor harmful bacteria.
Individuals with severe gluten sensitivities or celiac disease: While sprouting may reduce gluten content, it doesn’t eliminate it entirely.
Those with allergies to specific grains: Sprouted breads often contain various grains that could trigger allergic reactions.
Pregnant women: Due to the potential risk of bacterial contamination during the sprouting process.
People with digestive issues: Some may find sprouted grains harder to digest than regular grains.
Individuals on low-carb diets: Sprouted bread still contains carbohydrates, though potentially less than regular bread.
Those with yeast sensitivities: Many sprouted breads still use yeast in the baking process.
People with kidney problems: Sprouted grains can be high in phosphorus and potassium, which may be problematic for some kidney patients.
Individuals taking certain medications: The increased nutrient availability in sprouted grains could potentially interact with some medications.
Those with a history of foodborne illness susceptibility: Due to the slight increase in contamination risk during sprouting.Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have specific health concerns or conditions.

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 ).
