TIKKI knowledge answer
Spelt flour is not gluten-free. Spelt is a type of wheat (Triticum spelta) and contains gluten, including gliadin and glutenin. For individuals with celiac disease or wheat sensitivity, spelt can trigger similar symptoms as common wheat. The belief that spelt is better tolerated is a myth; studies confirm that spelt gluten is harmful for celiac patients. For non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), spelt may also cause issues. Common causes of stomach aches after bread include celiac disease (autoimmune), NCGS (functional), or wheat allergy (IgE-mediated). A DNA test for HLA-DQ can rule out celiac but not diagnose it. IgG food panels are not scientifically valid for intolerances and are discouraged by medical societies. If symptoms persist, medical evaluation with tTG-IgA blood test and endoscopy is recommended. Spelt is not gluten-free and should be avoided by those with gluten-related disorders.
