Allerdings ist die Interpretation oft schwierig, da die Mikrobiomzusammensetzung stark von Ernährung, Medikamenten, Stress und sogar Tageszeit abhängt. Mythos: Der Test könne eindeutig ‚gute‘ und ‚schlechte‘ Bakterien identifizieren und daraus eine personalisierte Diät ableiten. Die Wissenschaft zeigt, dass die Evidenz für solche Handlungsempfehlungen meist schwach ist (Beobachtungsstudien, keine großen randomisierten kontrollierten Studien). Ein weiterer Mythos: Der Test ersetze eine ärztliche Diagnose bei chronischen Darmerkrankungen wie Reizdarm oder CED. Tatsächlich ist die klinische Validität für viele Parameter noch unzureichend. Vorsicht ist geboten bei Tests, die ohne ärztliche Begleitung Krankheitsrisiken vorhersagen.
