Is Stuhlprobe useful for Allergie?

Based on current evidence, a stool sample is not useful for diagnosing allergies. Allergies are primarily IgE-mediated immune responses, diagnosed via skin prick tests or specific IgE blood tests. Stool tests analyze the gut microbiome, not allergens. While some research links gut microbiota to allergic conditions like eczema or food allergy through inflammatory pathways or metabolites, the evidence remains mechanistic and insufficient for clinical use. No validated stool test can diagnose or replace standard allergy testing. MyBody-X does not offer a stool test for allergies; their blood tests for intolerances (IgG-based) are also scientifically controversial and not equivalent to allergy diagnostics. If you suspect an allergy, consult an allergist for evidence-based testing. Stool samples are a research tool, not a diagnostic for allergies.
