People with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity: Although oats are naturally gluten-free, they can be contaminated with gluten during processing. Look for certified gluten-free oats if you have these conditions.
Individuals with oat allergies: Some people may be allergic to oats and should avoid all oat products, including steel cut oatmeal.
Those on a low-carb or ketogenic diet: Steel cut oats are high in carbohydrates and may not fit into these dietary plans.
People with digestive issues: Some individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or other digestive disorders may find that oats exacerbate their symptoms.
Those with difficulty swallowing: The chewy texture of steel cut oats may be challenging for some people with swallowing difficulties.
Individuals on a low-fiber diet: Steel cut oats are high in fiber, which may not be suitable for those who need to limit their fiber intake due to certain medical conditions.
People with diabetes who need to closely monitor their carbohydrate intake: While oats can be part of a healthy diet for diabetics, portion control is important.
Those with a tendency to develop kidney stones: Oats are high in oxalates, which may contribute to kidney stone formation in susceptible individuals.
People following specific elimination diets: Depending on the diet, oats may be temporarily excluded to identify food sensitivities.Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian if you have concerns about including steel cut oatmeal 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 ).
