wo mache ich einen allergietest — can a microbiome test help?

A microbiome test (e.g., from MyBody-X) analyzes gut bacteria composition but cannot diagnose allergies. Allergy testing is done medically—typically via skin prick or IgE blood test by a doctor. The available evidence rates microbiome tests as 'marketing' or 'unclear': they may indicate dysbiosis but are not a substitute for clinical allergy diagnostics. Even if a microbiome test shows inflammatory markers or certain bacteria, there is no clinical proof that this translates to an allergy diagnosis. Anyone needing an allergy test should see an allergist directly. A microbiome test might provide supplementary insights into gut health, but it cannot identify allergens or confirm an immune response. Caution: Without medical evaluation, false conclusions could lead to unnecessary diets or anxiety.
