MyBody-X angle on Gluten Alltag

MyBody-X offers DNA and microbiome tests that could theoretically provide insights into gluten sensitivity. However, the evidence is limited: genetic markers for celiac disease (e.g., HLA-DQ2/DQ8) are well-established, but for non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS) there are no validated genetic tests. A microbiome test can show gut bacteria composition, but a direct link to gluten processing is not proven. These results should be seen as complementary, not diagnostic. If celiac disease is suspected, medical testing (blood, biopsy) is essential. MyBody-X itself states that its tests do not replace medical diagnosis. In everyday life, a gluten-free diet may help if intolerance is confirmed, but without a diagnosis it is not recommended due to risk of nutrient deficiencies.
