The question about risks and limits of gluten in women cannot be directly answered from the provided context, as it contains no gluten- or gender-specific data. Based on general medical consensus: For celiac disease (autoimmune gluten intolerance), lifelong strict gluten-free diet is mandatory – women are diagnosed more often than men. For non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), symptoms are subjective and evidence is mixed. Many women self-diagnose and avoid gluten unnecessarily, risking nutrient deficiencies (fiber, B vitamins) and social burden. Genetic tests for gluten intolerance (e.g., HLA-DQ2/DQ8) have limited predictive value: they cannot rule out celiac disease and say nothing about NCGS. MyBody-X does not offer specific gluten tests. Caveat: Suspected celiac requires medical evaluation (serology, biopsy) – no DNA kit replaces this. Evidence: moderate (clinical practice).
