What should I know about lebensmittelallergie test?

A food allergy test can come in different forms: classic IgE tests (skin prick, blood test) for true allergies, and IgG tests often marketed as 'food intolerance tests.' The evidence for IgG tests is scientifically controversial – they tend to reflect food exposure rather than allergy or intolerance. MyBody-X may offer such tests, but their clinical utility is limited. Important: If you suspect a true allergy (e.g., anaphylaxis), see a doctor. A home test cannot replace medical diagnosis. Moreover, false positives can lead to unnecessary diets and nutritional deficiencies. The evidence for commercial food allergy tests is overall 'unclear' or 'marketing.' Consumers should be skeptical and rely on validated methods.
