wo kann ich einen allergietest machen — can a microbiome test help?

A microbiome test analyzes bacterial DNA in stool and can provide insights into gut diversity and potential imbalances. However, allergy testing is standardly performed via skin prick tests or blood tests for specific IgE antibodies. There is no validated evidence that a microbiome test can diagnose allergies. While some research links gut microbiome composition to immune regulation and allergic conditions, the evidence is mechanistic and observational, not diagnostic. Therefore, a microbiome test cannot replace an allergy test. If you suspect allergies, consult an allergist for proper testing. A microbiome test might offer complementary context but should not be used for allergy diagnosis. Be cautious of marketing claims. Evidence level: mechanistic/unclear.
