Darmflora MIKROBIOM-Test Basic: what can you do yourself?

A microbiome test like the Darmflora Basic can provide insights into your gut bacteria composition, but interpretation is often complex and not directly actionable. What you can do yourself: 1) Adjust your diet – increase fiber (vegetables, legumes, whole grains), fermented foods (yogurt, sauerkraut, kimchi), and prebiotics (onions, garlic, chicory) to support a healthy gut flora. 2) Reduce stress – chronic stress impairs the gut barrier. 3) Get enough sleep and exercise – both promote microbial diversity. 4) Use antibiotics only when necessary, as they can disrupt the microbiome. 5) Limit alcohol and sugar intake. Important: The evidence for personalized recommendations from such tests is still weak. Results can vary and are not clinically validated. Consult a doctor for persistent symptoms before making drastic changes.
