MyBody-X angle on Reis glutenfrei Basis

The question 'Reis glutenfrei Basis' (rice gluten-free basis) addresses whether rice is suitable as a staple in a gluten-free diet. From a nutritional science perspective, all types of rice (white, brown, wild) are naturally gluten-free, as they do not contain wheat, rye, barley, or contaminated oats. However, processed rice products (e.g., rice flakes, rice bread, rice noodles) may carry a risk of cross-contamination during manufacturing. MyBody‑X does not offer specific tests for gluten in rice, but the DNA Nutrition Test can identify genetic risk for celiac disease (HLA‑DQ2/DQ8). The microbiome test may reveal markers of intestinal permeability or inflammation linked to gluten sensitivity. Important: a negative genetic test does not rule out celiac disease entirely, and a gluten-free diet should only be adopted after medical diagnosis. Evidence for rice as a gluten-free base is strong (clinical practice), but individual tolerance varies. MyBody‑X can provide complementary insights but does not replace professional medical advice.
