Magen-Darm-Gesundheit: which diet helps?

For gut health and digestion, a high-fiber Mediterranean diet is widely recommended – rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and fermented foods like yogurt or sauerkraut. This pattern supports beneficial gut bacteria and reduces inflammation. For specific conditions like celiac disease, a strict gluten-free diet is essential; genetic testing (e.g., HLA-DQ, rs2395182) can indicate risk but does not diagnose. Evidence for the Mediterranean diet's benefits on gut health is strong (human-strong). However, individual responses vary, and DNA tests offer limited actionable guidance. Always consult a doctor before starting restrictive diets, especially in children. MyBody-X provides microbiome and DNA tests for personalized insights, but a balanced diet remains the foundation.
