Is Sushi Gluten Free?
Most traditional sushi is gluten-free, as it typically consists of rice, fish, vegetables, and seaweed, which do not contain gluten. However, some sushi rolls may contain gluten in ingredients like soy sauce, imitation crab (surimi), or tempura batter, so it’s important to check with the restaurant or chef about specific ingredients if you have gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.

Elderly individuals: They may have weakened immune systems and be more vulnerable to foodborne illnesses.
People with compromised immune systems: Including those with HIV/AIDS, cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, or individuals taking immunosuppressant medications.
Individuals with seafood allergies: Sushi often contains fish and shellfish, which are common allergens.
People with a history of foodborne illnesses: They may be more susceptible to future infections.
Those with liver disease: Raw fish may contain parasites that can be particularly harmful to individuals with liver conditions.
People with gastrointestinal issues: Raw fish may be harder to digest for those with certain digestive conditions.
Anyone uncomfortable with the idea of consuming raw fish: If the thought makes you uneasy, it’s best to avoid it.Remember, it’s always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional if you have specific health concerns or questions about 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 ).
