ist reis glutenfrei? — which blood markers matter?

Rice is naturally gluten-free, as it does not contain gluten proteins. However, processed rice products (e.g., rice cakes, puffed rice) may be cross-contaminated with gluten-containing grains if produced in shared facilities. For individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, choosing certified gluten-free products is advisable. Which blood markers matter? For celiac disease screening, the key markers are: tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTG-IgA), endomysial antibodies (EMA), and deamidated gliadin peptides (DGP). A positive tTG-IgA test typically requires confirmation via duodenal biopsy. In case of IgA deficiency, IgG-based tests should be used. For non-celiac gluten sensitivity, no validated blood markers exist; diagnosis is based on exclusion and dietary challenge. Note: MyBody-X tests are not designed for celiac diagnosis – if suspected, consult a physician.
