was kostet großes blutbild — can a microbiome test help?

The cost of a complete blood count (großes Blutbild) in Germany when paid privately is typically between €20 and €50, depending on the lab and scope. Statutory health insurance covers it only with a medical indication. A microbiome test (e.g., from MyBioma, MyBody-X) may provide additional clues for bloating or digestive issues, but the evidence is primarily marketing-driven, not clinically robust. The provided sources (e.g., the bloating blog article) explicitly rate the evidence as 'marketing'. A microbiome test does not replace medical diagnostics or a complete blood count. If you have persistent symptoms, consult a doctor first and get a CBC plus targeted tests. A microbiome test can serve as an exploratory tool, but results should be interpreted cautiously. Its cost typically ranges from €100 to €300. In summary: a CBC is inexpensive and medically established; a microbiome test is more expensive, less evidence-based, and only an adjunct.
