May aid in weight management due to its fiber content and lower calorie densityRemember that while these benefits are associated with whole grain brown rice flour, it’s important to consume it as part of a balanced diet for optimal health.
People with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity: Although rice flour is naturally gluten-free, there’s a risk of cross-contamination during processing. Always check for certified gluten-free labels.
Individuals on a low-carb or ketogenic diet: Brown rice flour is high in carbohydrates and may not fit into these dietary plans.
Those with rice allergies: Though rare, some people are allergic to rice and should avoid rice flour.
People with digestive issues: Some individuals may find brown rice flour harder to digest due to its high fiber content.
Individuals with concerns about arsenic exposure: Rice can contain higher levels of arsenic compared to other grains. Those with particular concerns about arsenic intake might want to limit consumption.
People on a low-fiber diet: For certain medical conditions, a low-fiber diet may be recommended, and brown rice flour is relatively high in fiber.
Individuals with diabetes who need to closely monitor their carbohydrate intake: While brown rice flour has a lower glycemic index than white rice flour, it still impacts blood sugar levels.
Those following specific elimination diets: Depending on the diet plan, brown rice flour might be temporarily excluded.
Infants under six months: It’s generally recommended to avoid giving rice products to babies under six months due to potential arsenic exposure.Remember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian before making significant changes to your diet, especially if you have specific health concerns or conditions.

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 ).
