What should I know about dinkel glutenunvertraglichkeit?

Spelt is an ancient wheat variety and contains gluten – just like modern wheat. People with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity therefore react to spelt as well. Genetic testing for HLA-DQA1 risk variants can indicate an increased risk for celiac disease, but it is not diagnostic alone: only about 1% of carriers actually develop celiac disease. A confirmed diagnosis requires antibody tests and a small intestine biopsy. Some marketing claims that spelt is 'easier to digest' are not supported by strong evidence – the gluten structure is very similar to common wheat. If you suspect gluten intolerance, seek medical evaluation before starting a gluten-free diet. The MyBody-X DNA test does not include gluten-related genes; it focuses on metabolism. For clarity, functional tests and clinical assessment are essential.
