wo mache ich einen allergietest — what can you do yourself?

Where to get an allergy test and what you can do yourself depends on the type of allergy suspected. MyBody-X offers an AllergieCheck that measures IgE antibodies, targeting true type-I allergies. This is a valid approach, but it is a home test and cannot replace a medical diagnosis, especially for children. For food intolerances (e.g., lactose, fructose) or IgG-based tests, evidence is lacking; such tests are not recommended by medical guidelines. What you can do yourself: Keep a symptom and food diary to identify patterns. If you suspect a true allergy (rash, breathing difficulty, swelling), see an allergist or dermatologist for standardized skin prick tests or specific IgE blood work. Home tests may serve as a preliminary screening but are not diagnostic. Evidence: marketing/unclear – the product description is promotional, but IgE measurement itself is scientifically sound. Caveat: Do not change diet or medication without professional advice.
