KombiCheck | Unverträglichkeits- & Allergietest: what can you do yourself?

The KombiCheck by MyBody-X is a direct-to-consumer test that claims to identify food intolerances and allergies. What you can do yourself: Keep a detailed symptom and food diary to identify potential triggers. An elimination diet under medical or dietetic supervision remains the gold standard for confirming intolerances. The test itself often lacks clinical validation – many such tests measure IgG antibodies, which are not scientifically accepted for diagnosing intolerances. Allergies should be evaluated by a specialist using skin prick tests or specific IgE blood tests. Without professional guidance, the test may lead to unnecessary dietary restrictions or nutrient deficiencies. Do not rely solely on the test result; use it as a starting point for discussion with a healthcare provider. The evidence for consumer intolerance tests is weak; self-management should focus on proven methods like symptom tracking and supervised elimination diets.
