Is Thai Food Gluten Free?
Thai cuisine naturally includes many gluten-free dishes, as rice and rice noodles are staple ingredients. However, not all Thai food is automatically gluten-free, as some dishes may contain soy sauce or other wheat-based ingredients, so it’s important to check specific ingredients or ask about preparation methods when dining out.

Rich in herbs and spices: Many Thai dishes contain herbs and spices like turmeric, ginger, lemongrass, and garlic, which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
High in vegetables: Thai cuisine often incorporates a variety of fresh vegetables, providing essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
Lean protein sources: Many Thai dishes feature lean proteins like chicken, fish, and tofu, which are beneficial for muscle health and weight management.
Coconut milk: Used in many Thai curries, coconut milk contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) that may boost metabolism and support heart health.
Chili peppers: These contain capsaicin, which can boost metabolism and may have pain-relieving properties.
Low in saturated fats: Thai cooking methods often involve stir-frying or steaming, which require less oil than deep-frying.
Gut-friendly ingredients: Fermented foods like fish sauce and some pickled vegetables can support gut health.
Citrus fruits: Many Thai dishes incorporate lime or lemon, which are high in vitamin C and support immune function.
Nuts and seeds: Some Thai dishes include peanuts or cashews, providing healthy fats and protein.
Aromatic rice: Thai jasmine rice is a good source of complex carbohydrates and provides energy.
Seafood: Many Thai dishes feature seafood, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids beneficial for heart and brain health.
Remember that the health benefits can vary depending on specific dishes and preparation methods, and some Thai dishes can be high in sodium or calories if consumed in large portions.

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 ).
