ist dinkelmehl glutenfrei? — what does this mean exactly?

The question 'Is spelt flour gluten-free?' literally asks whether spelt flour contains gluten. Spelt is an ancient wheat variety (Triticum spelta) and, like modern wheat, contains gluten. Therefore, spelt flour is not gluten-free. However, spelt has a different gluten structure that some people with mild gluten sensitivity (not celiac disease) may tolerate better. For individuals with celiac disease, spelt is unsuitable because it can trigger the autoimmune reaction. The question often arises because spelt is marketed as 'ancient' or 'healthier,' leading to confusion. Scientifically, it is clear: spelt contains gluten and is not safe for a gluten-free diet. Evidence: well-established knowledge based on botanical classification and clinical guidelines.
