People with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity: Although rice is naturally gluten-free, cross-contamination can occur during processing or packaging.
Individuals with digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): Some may find that brown rice aggravates their symptoms due to its higher fiber content.
Those following a low-fiber diet: Brown rice has more fiber than white rice, which may not be suitable for people on medically prescribed low-fiber diets.
People with diverticulitis: During flare-ups, a low-fiber diet is often recommended, making brown rice less suitable.
Individuals with certain autoimmune conditions: Some people with autoimmune disorders may be sensitive to grains, including brown rice.
Those on a low-carb or ketogenic diet: Brown rice is high in carbohydrates and may not fit into these dietary plans.
People with diabetes who need to closely monitor their carbohydrate intake: While brown rice has a lower glycemic index than white rice, it still impacts blood sugar levels.
Individuals with a rice allergy: Although rare, some people may be allergic to rice proteins.
Those concerned about arsenic exposure: Brown rice tends to have higher levels of arsenic than white rice, so people in high-risk groups (like pregnant women or young children) may need to limit consumption.
People following specific weight loss programs that restrict grain intake.Remember, it’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized dietary advice.

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 ).
