Is Sprouted Wheat Gluten Free?
Sprouted wheat is not gluten-free, as it still contains the gluten proteins found in regular wheat. While sprouting may make some nutrients more available and potentially easier to digest, it does not eliminate the gluten content of wheat.

Higher nutrient content: Sprouting increases the availability of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
Improved digestibility: Easier to digest than unsprouted wheat due to reduced antinutrients and increased enzyme activity
Lower gluten content: May be better tolerated by some people with mild gluten sensitivities
Increased protein quality: Sprouting can improve the amino acid profile of wheat
Better blood sugar control: Lower glycemic index compared to unsprouted wheat, potentially helping manage blood sugar levels
Higher fiber content: Sprouting can increase the amount of dietary fiber
Enhanced antioxidant activity: Sprouting increases the production of antioxidants like vitamin C and E
Improved absorption of minerals: Sprouting reduces phytic acid, which can inhibit mineral absorption
Potential prebiotic effects: May support gut health by promoting beneficial bacteria growth
Increased folate content: Sprouting can significantly increase folate levels, important for cell growth and development
Better preservation of nutrients during cooking: Sprouted wheat may retain more nutrients when cooked compared to unsprouted wheat
Potential anti-inflammatory properties: Some studies suggest sprouted grains may have anti-inflammatory effectsRemember that while sprouted wheat offers these potential benefits, it’s still important to consume it as part of a balanced diet.
People with celiac disease: Sprouted wheat still contains gluten, which can cause severe reactions in those with celiac disease.
Individuals with non-celiac gluten sensitivity: They may experience adverse reactions to the gluten in sprouted wheat.
Those with wheat allergies: Sprouted wheat can still trigger allergic reactions in people with wheat allergies.
People with compromised immune systems: Raw sprouts can sometimes harbor bacteria, posing a risk to those with weakened immune systems.
Pregnant women: Due to the potential risk of foodborne illness from raw sprouts, pregnant women are often advised to avoid them.
Individuals with digestive disorders: Some people with conditions like IBS or Crohn’s disease may find sprouted wheat difficult to digest.
Those on a low-carb or ketogenic diet: While lower in carbs than regular wheat, sprouted wheat still contains significant carbohydrates.
People with phytic acid sensitivities: Although sprouting reduces phytic acid, some individuals may still be sensitive to the remaining amounts.
Those taking blood-thinning medications: Sprouted grains are high in vitamin K, which can interfere with these medications.
Individuals with certain enzyme deficiencies: Some people lack the enzymes needed to properly digest the proteins in wheat, sprouted or not.Remember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have health concerns.

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 ).
