Is Wheat Bran Gluten Free?

Is Wheat Bran Gluten Free?

Wheat bran itself does not contain gluten, as gluten is found in the endosperm of wheat, not the bran. However, wheat bran is often processed in facilities that also handle gluten-containing grains, so there’s a risk of cross-contamination, meaning it may not be suitable for those with celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity unless specifically labeled as gluten-free.

What is Tolerase® G?

A new Approach for People with Gluten Sensitivity:
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 ).

Gluten Free Alternatives
Rice Bran: A byproduct of rice milling, rice bran is high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. It has a mild, nutty flavor and can be used in baking, smoothies, or as a hot cereal.
Coconut Flour: Made from dried, ground coconut meat, this flour is high in fiber and protein. It has a slightly sweet taste and can be used in baking, though it absorbs more liquid than wheat-based flours.
Flaxseed Meal: Ground flaxseeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids and fiber. They have a nutty flavor and can be used as a binder in recipes, added to smoothies, or sprinkled on yogurt or oatmeal.
Psyllium Husk: Derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, psyllium husk is an excellent source of soluble fiber. It can be used as a binding agent in gluten-free baking and helps improve texture in bread and pastries.
Almond Meal: Made from ground almonds, this meal is high in protein and healthy fats. It has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and can be used in baking or as a coating for meats and vegetables.

Frequently
Asked Questions 1

How much gluten is in wheat bran?
Wheat bran is primarily composed of the outer layers of the wheat kernel. It contains a small amount of gluten, typically around 10-15% of its total protein content. However, the gluten content in wheat bran is significantly lower than that found in wheat flour. For individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, even this small amount can be problematic, so wheat bran is generally not considered gluten-free.
What is a gluten-free substitute for wheat bran?
A common gluten-free substitute for wheat bran is rice bran. Another option is oat bran, which is naturally gluten-free but should be certified to avoid cross-contamination. Coconut flour can also provide a similar texture and fiber content in some recipes. Alternatively, ground flaxseed or chia seeds can be used as a gluten-free bran substitute in many baked goods.
Who should not eat wheat bran?
People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid wheat bran. Individuals with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may find that wheat bran exacerbates their symptoms. Those with wheat allergies should steer clear of wheat bran. People on a low-fiber diet or recovering from certain gastrointestinal surgeries may need to limit or avoid wheat bran intake.
Is there gluten in wheatgerm?
Yes, wheatgerm contains gluten. Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. Wheatgerm is a part of the wheat kernel and therefore contains gluten. People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid consuming wheatgerm.
