ist dinkel glutenfrei — what can you do yourself?

Spelt is an ancient wheat species and contains gluten – it is not gluten-free. Some people with non-celiac gluten sensitivity may tolerate spelt better than modern wheat due to differences in gluten structure, but this is highly individual and not predictable. A DNA test for gluten intolerance is not reliable because the genetics are complex and there are no simple 'gluten SNPs'. What you can do yourself: Keep a food diary and try a multi-week elimination of all gluten sources (including spelt), followed by a controlled reintroduction. If you suspect celiac disease, see a doctor for blood tests and a duodenal biopsy – self-diagnosis can be dangerous. The evidence for spelt being 'better tolerated' is weak and mostly mechanistic, not based on strong human studies.
