hat reis gluten — what does this mean exactly?

Rice is naturally gluten-free because gluten is a protein found only in certain grains like wheat, rye, and barley. However, cross-contamination can occur during processing or in flavored rice products, so individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should choose certified gluten-free rice. MyBody-X offers intolerance tests, but these cannot diagnose celiac disease; a medical workup including blood tests and biopsy is required. DNA tests may show genetic risk (HLA-DQ) but are not diagnostic. If symptoms persist after eating rice, other intolerances (e.g., FODMAPs) should be considered. The evidence is strong: rice does not contain gluten by nature.
