sind dinkelflocken glutenfrei — can a microbiome test help?

Spelt flakes are not gluten-free. Spelt is a type of wheat and contains gluten (gliadin and glutenin). People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should avoid spelt flakes. A microbiome test cannot determine whether a food contains gluten – that is a purely chemical question. However, such a test might provide clues about an imbalanced gut flora, which is common in gluten intolerance. The evidence for the clinical utility of microbiome tests in gluten-related issues is weak and largely based on marketing. Diagnosing celiac disease still requires serological tests (tTG-IgA) and a duodenal biopsy. A genetic test for HLA-DQ2/DQ8 can estimate risk but does not replace medical evaluation. Bottom line: spelt flakes are not gluten-free; a microbiome test cannot answer that question and has no established clinical relevance for gluten diagnostics.
