Vietnamese cuisine can often be gluten-free, as many traditional dishes rely on rice-based ingredients like rice noodles, rice paper, and rice flour. However, some dishes may contain gluten through the use of soy sauce or other wheat-based ingredients, so it’s important to ask about specific ingredients when dining out or preparing meals.

Fiber-rich: The use of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains provides a good source of dietary fiber.
Bone-strengthening ingredients: Foods like bean sprouts and green vegetables offer calcium and vitamin K for bone health.
Immune-boosting elements: Ingredients like ginger, garlic, and chili peppers can help support the immune system.
Digestive health: Fermented foods like pickled vegetables can promote gut health.
Heart-healthy: The emphasis on fish provides omega-3 fatty acids, which are beneficial for cardiovascular health.
Diabetes-friendly: Many dishes have a low glycemic index, helping to regulate blood sugar levels.
Hydrating: Broths and soups are common, contributing to daily fluid intake.
Metabolism-boosting: Spices like chili can temporarily boost metabolism.
Weight management: The combination of low-fat, high-fiber ingredients can aid in weight control.

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 ).
