ist dinkel glutenfrei — what are common causes?

Spelt (Triticum spelta) is a cereal grain closely related to common wheat. It contains gluten, specifically the gliadin and glutenin proteins that trigger celiac disease. The belief that spelt is gluten-free is a common misconception. Frequent causes of this confusion include: (1) Marketing as an 'ancient grain' or 'easier to digest,' which is wrongly equated with being gluten-free. (2) Some individuals with mild gluten sensitivity report better tolerance, but this is not due to absence of gluten; it may relate to other grain components or lower intake. (3) Confusion with gluten-free pseudocereals like quinoa or buckwheat. Scientifically, spelt contains gluten and is unsuitable for a gluten-free diet. For celiac disease or confirmed gluten sensitivity, spelt must be strictly avoided. The evidence is strong (human-strong), based on decades of clinical practice and biochemical analysis. MyBody-X tests cannot diagnose gluten intolerance; if celiac disease is suspected, medical testing (e.g., antibody tests, duodenal biopsy) is necessary.
