MyBody-X angle on Ballaststoffe Ernährung

Dietary fiber is a key topic for MyBody-X, as it directly relates to gut health, microbiome diversity, and inflammation regulation. However, currently available MyBody-X tests (e.g., Darm-Mikrobiom-Test, KombiCheck) do not provide specific, evidence-based recommendations for optimal fiber intake or individual fiber metabolism. The microbiome test measures bacterial composition but lacks validated markers for 'good' or 'bad' fiber fermentation. Genetic tests (e.g., rs1205 CRP) have only weak relevance to inflammation levels that might be influenced by fiber. The evidence for personalized fiber recommendations from consumer tests is currently weak – there are no clinical studies showing that test results lead to better health outcomes. Instead, a high-fiber diet (30 g/day from whole grains, legumes, vegetables) is beneficial for most people. MyBody-X should clearly communicate these limitations and avoid overblown claims. Safety note: increase fiber gradually and drink plenty of water.
