Yellow corn meal is typically gluten-free as corn is naturally free of gluten. However, it’s important to check product labels or contact manufacturers to ensure there’s no cross-contamination during processing, especially if you have celiac disease or severe gluten sensitivity.

Can be part of a weight management diet due to its filling nature and relatively low calorie contentRemember that while yellow corn meal offers these benefits, it should be consumed as part of a balanced diet for optimal health.
People with corn allergies: Those allergic to corn or corn products should strictly avoid yellow cornmeal.
Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity: Although corn is naturally gluten-free, some cornmeal products may be processed in facilities that also handle wheat, potentially leading to cross-contamination.
People following a low-carb or ketogenic diet: Yellow cornmeal is high in carbohydrates and may not fit into these dietary plans.
Individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance: Cornmeal has a relatively high glycemic index, which can cause rapid spikes in blood sugar levels.
Those with digestive issues: Some people may find cornmeal difficult to digest, especially if they have conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
People with a history of diverticulitis: In some cases, small corn particles may irritate the digestive tract in individuals with this condition.
Those following a paleo or grain-free diet: Cornmeal is a grain product and is typically excluded from these dietary approaches.
Individuals with non-celiac gluten sensitivity: Some people who are sensitive to gluten may also react to corn proteins.Always consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian if you have concerns about including yellow cornmeal in your diet.

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 ).
