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

For allergy testing, you should see an allergist for skin prick tests or specific IgE blood tests. Microbiome tests (e.g., stool analysis) can provide insights into gut flora, but they are **not** a validated method for allergy diagnosis. The evidence linking microbiome profiles to allergies is mostly correlational and mechanistic, not clinically actionable. Many commercial microbiome tests overstate their utility and are often sold without medical supervision. They may serve as complementary information but cannot replace established allergy diagnostics. If you suspect allergies, consulting a specialist is the only evidence-based approach. Some research suggests that a fiber-rich diet can positively modulate the microbiome, which might theoretically reduce allergy risk – but this is not diagnostic. Safety note: Do not rely on DTC tests for medical decisions.
