Complaints can manifest themselves as a runny nose, watery eyes, itching, shortness of breath or intestinal complaints. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The immune system is largely influenced by the intestine. Therefore, the gut microbiome is seen as an important factor in allergic diseases. Research shows that changes in the composition of the microbiome may affect the way the body responds to allergens.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_2 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_grid_section preset--module--divi-section--default\" id=\"astma\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_3 et_pb_row et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_5 et_pb_column et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_6_24 et_flex_column_6_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_heading_2 et_pb_heading et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_heading_container\"><h1 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Asthma<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_6 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_18_24 et_flex_column_18_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p class=\"p1\">Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the airways that can lead to shortness of breath, wheezing, and shortness of breath. Some people with asthma also experience intestinal complaints. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Research shows that both the gut microbiome and the respiratory microbiome can differ from that of healthy individuals. The so-called gut-lung axis is central to this: the interaction between gut health and lung health. Although this field of research is still under development, there is increasing evidence that the gut microbiome plays a role in asthma.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_3 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_grid_section preset--module--divi-section--default\" id=\"psoriasis\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_4 et_pb_row et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_7 et_pb_column et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_6_24 et_flex_column_6_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_heading_3 et_pb_heading et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_heading_container\"><h1 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Psoriasis \/ skin complaints<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_8 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_18_24 et_flex_column_18_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_3 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p class=\"p1\">Psoriasis is a chronic condition in which skin cells renew themselves faster than normal. This often causes red, scaly patches on the skin. Although psoriasis is visible on the skin, it is considered a condition in which the immune system plays an important role.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">The intestine has an important function in the regulation of the immune system. Therefore, interest in the relationship between the gut microbiome and psoriasis is growing. Research shows that changes in the microbiome may contribute to inflammatory processes involved in skin complaints.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_4 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_grid_section preset--module--divi-section--default\" id=\"longziekten\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_5 et_pb_row et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_9 et_pb_column et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_6_24 et_flex_column_6_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_heading_4 et_pb_heading et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_heading_container\"><h1 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Lung diseases \/ COPD<\/h1><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_10 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_18_24 et_flex_column_18_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_4 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p class=\"p1\">COPD is a chronic lung disease in which the airways and lungs are damaged. This makes breathing more difficult and can cause complaints such as shortness of breath, fatigue and reduced fitness. <\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">It is striking that people with COPD also have intestinal complaints relatively often. In addition, various studies show that there is a relationship between gut health and lung health. As with asthma, this is referred to as the gut-lung axis. These findings indicate that the gut microbiome may play a role in the development and progression of COPD.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_section_5 et_pb_section et_section_regular et_flex_section preset--module--divi-section--default\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_6 et_pb_row et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_11 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_24_24 et_flex_column_24_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_heading_5 et_pb_heading et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_heading_container\"><h2 class=\"et_pb_module_header\">Ready to discover what your microbiome is saying?<\/h2><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_5 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>Already 20,000+ people have opted for an analysis with personal guidance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_row_7 et_pb_row et_flex_row\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_column_12 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_24_24 et_flex_column_24_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_0_wrapper preset--module--divi-button--default_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_0 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_dark et_pb_module et_flex_module button_outline_white preset--module--divi-button--default\" href=\"https:\/\/microbiome-center.nl\/en\/discover-how-microbiome-therapy-works\/\">Find out how it works<\/a><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_button_module_wrapper et_pb_button_1_wrapper preset--module--divi-button--default_wrapper\"><a class=\"et_pb_button_1 et_pb_button et_pb_bg_layout_dark et_pb_module et_flex_module button_white preset--module--divi-button--default\" href=\"https:\/\/microbiome-center.nl\/en\/start-your-journey\/\">Start your journey<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_section_6 et_pb_section et_pb_section--fixed et_section_regular et_flex_section et-interaction-target-zwocqpy6qf preset--module--divi-section--default\" data-interaction-trigger=\"7hv7hq8l9z\" data-interaction-target=\"zwocqpy6qf\" id=\"video_canvas\"><div class=\"et_pb_row_8 et_pb_row et_flex_row\"><div class=\"et_pb_column_13 et_pb_column et-last-child et_flex_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et_flex_column_24_24 et_flex_column_24_24_tablet et_flex_column_24_24_phone\"><div class=\"et_pb_icon_0 et_pb_icon et_pb_module et_flex_module video_close\"><span class=\"et_pb_icon_wrap\"><span class=\"et-pb-icon\">\uf057<\/span><\/span><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_code_0 et_pb_code et_pb_module\" id=\"microbiome_center_video_iframe\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\uf057<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":709,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":240,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"doelgroep":[91],"class_list":["post-225148","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","doelgroep-private-individual"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Skin, allergies &amp;
