hat dinkel gluten — what are common causes?

Yes, spelt (Triticum spelta) is a type of wheat and contains gluten. Its gluten content is comparable to or even higher than modern wheat. People with celiac disease, wheat allergy, or non-celiac gluten sensitivity should avoid spelt. There is no scientifically proven 'milder' gluten variant in spelt. The claim that spelt is lower in gluten or better tolerated is a widespread myth without evidence. The only exception: some individuals with mild gluten sensitivity report fewer symptoms subjectively, but this is not supported by studies and should not be relied upon for safety.
