MY FOODBOOK + Diätplan: can a microbiome test help?

A microbiome test (e.g., stool analysis) can provide insights into your gut bacteria composition and identify potential imbalances. Based on the results, personalized dietary recommendations can be derived – for example, increasing fiber for certain bacterial strains or avoiding foods that promote inflammation. However, the evidence for such 'diet plans' is still limited: many studies are small, short-term, and not randomized. A microbiome test alone does not replace medical diagnosis for digestive issues or metabolic conditions. Moreover, the microbiome fluctuates significantly with diet, medications, and environment – a single test is only a snapshot. MyBody-X offers such analyses, but results should be seen as guidance, not a definitive prescription. Combining the test with a food diary and possibly nutritional counseling is advisable. Evidence: mixed (human-moderate to mechanistic).
