Rice is naturally gluten-free, as it does not contain wheat, rye, or barley. However, processed rice products (e.g., seasoned packets, ready meals) may be cross-contaminated with gluten. For individuals with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, only certified gluten-free rice is safe. Typical symptoms of gluten-related disorders include bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain, fatigue, headaches, and skin rashes. In celiac disease, additional symptoms like nutrient deficiencies, weight loss, and intestinal damage occur. The evidence for these symptoms is human-strong, based on clinical studies and guidelines. Self-testing for gluten intolerance is insufficient; a doctor should confirm diagnosis via blood tests and duodenal biopsy. MyBody-X does not offer a specific gluten test, but nutrient deficiency tests may reveal secondary issues.
