Is Yellow Rice Gluten Free?
Yellow rice is typically gluten-free as it’s usually made with rice, which is naturally gluten-free, and spices like turmeric or saffron that give it its yellow color. However, it’s important to check the ingredients list or preparation method, as some versions may include gluten-containing additives or be prepared in facilities that process gluten products.

Rich in antioxidants: Turmeric and saffron are powerful antioxidants that can help fight inflammation and oxidative stress.
May have anti-cancer properties: Curcumin in turmeric has shown potential in inhibiting cancer cell growth.
Supports heart health: The spices used can help improve cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
Aids digestion: Turmeric can help stimulate bile production, aiding in digestion.
Potential anti-inflammatory effects: Both turmeric and saffron have anti-inflammatory properties.
May improve brain function: Curcumin in turmeric may boost brain-derived neurotrophic factor, potentially improving memory and cognition.
Provides essential nutrients: Yellow rice often contains vitamins and minerals like iron, manganese, and B vitamins.
Supports immune function: The antioxidants and nutrients can help boost the immune system.
May help manage arthritis: The anti-inflammatory properties could potentially alleviate arthritis symptoms.
Potential mood-boosting effects: Saffron has shown promise in improving mood and reducing symptoms of depression.Remember that the health benefits can vary depending on the specific ingredients and preparation method of the yellow rice.
People with turmeric allergies: If the yellow color comes from turmeric, those allergic to it should avoid the dish.
Individuals with saffron allergies: If saffron is used for coloring, those with saffron allergies should avoid it.
People on low-carb diets: Rice is high in carbohydrates, so those following strict low-carb diets may need to avoid or limit yellow rice.
Diabetics: While rice can be part of a diabetic diet, portion control is crucial as it can affect blood sugar levels.
Those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity: While rice is naturally gluten-free, some pre-packaged yellow rice mixes may contain gluten-containing additives.
Individuals on a low-sodium diet: Some yellow rice recipes or pre-packaged mixes may be high in sodium.
People with gallbladder issues: Turmeric can stimulate bile production, which might be problematic for those with gallbladder disease.
Those taking certain medications: Turmeric can interact with blood thinners and some other medications, so these individuals should consult their doctor.
Anyone with digestive issues: Some people may find that rice, especially when combined with spices, can exacerbate digestive problems.Always consult with a healthcare professional if you have specific dietary concerns or health 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 ).
