wo kann ich ein allergietest machen — can a microbiome test help?

Allergy testing is a medical procedure – typically done by a dermatologist or allergist via skin prick tests or specific IgE blood tests. Microbiome tests cannot currently diagnose allergies. There is some evidence linking gut microbiota composition to allergic conditions (e.g., asthma, eczema), but these are correlational, not causal. A commercial microbiome test may provide hints about inflammatory or dysbiotic patterns, but it does not replace clinical allergy testing. The evidence is weak to moderate – many studies are small or conflicting. If you suspect an allergy, see a doctor for proper diagnosis. Health insurance often covers allergy tests when there is a reasonable suspicion.
