Log Meals
When you eat something, it travels through your stomach and into your small intestine for absorption. Anything that isn’t digested continues to your large intestine where fermentation starts to take place.
Fermentation
During fermentation the gases methane and hydrogen are produced. Many of us are hydrogen producers but two thirds of us also produce methane. When these gases build up rapidly they can cause IBS-like symptoms. These gases make their way into the bloodstream and move to the lungs.
Breath Test
Once in the lungs, methane and hydrogen are exhaled on your breath. By measuring the levels of both these gases on your breath with AIRE 2 you get greater accuracy and you get real-time feedback on whether that food is right for your body.

Coeliac disease is an auto-immune condition, which isn’t very common. It affects 1% of the population or so. AIRE measures gut fermentation levels, which is unrelated to Coeliac disease and gluten intolerance.
If you think that you may have an intolerance or sensitivity to gluten, it would be best to get this tested with your physician. Gluten intolerance is an immune response to gluten proteins. Our products test for different biomarkers and wouldn’t be the ideal tool for testing gluten intolerance.
Yes. If you purchase the food intolerance testing kit, you can test your reaction to four common FODMAPs including lactose, fructose, sorbitol and inulin. If you suspect you may have lactose intolerance, you can select this as your first test.
AIRE detects hydrogen, which is produced by your gut bacteria when they come in contact with food that hasn’t been fully digested yet. Any given species of bacteria will only be able to break down certain foods, so the foods that produce large amounts of gas in your gut, will depend on the types of gut bacteria you have. This is one of the main reasons why everyone is completely unique in terms of digestion of food.
To achieve success with our products, we recommend one device per user.
Our devices can be used by children under the guidance of an adult. Use for children is exactly the same as it is for adults.
The quantities of the FODMAP substrates are also safe for children.
AIRE is not suitable for use by babies / toddlers, because of the breathing technique required to perform a breath test.
Most people will tend to take 4-6 weeks to get a good handle on which foods are most suited to their digestion. There are some people who just want to test one or two food components, which is valuable and can be done more quickly. Then, on the other end of the spectrum, some people will track their response to food over several months or will start using the device again after a lifestyle change (e.g. change in diet) as that can often affect how you digest food.
Yes, it’s possible for us to share your results securely with your doctor, as long as we get your consent. Assuming your doctor is comfortable to proceed, just send an email to clinical@foodmarble.com with contact details for your doctor and we’ll take it from there.
By making breath testing a part of your day, you can discover a lot about your gut. If you manage to take between 8-10 breath tests each day, you are doing an excellent job. Here’s a good approach to daily breath testing:
- Take a baseline breath test once you wake up, after brushing your teeth and before eating food.
- Wait until one hour after your breakfast, then test hourly until your lunch.
- After lunch, wait an hour, then test hourly until your next meal and so on until you reach a maximum of 10 tests.

Keep AIRE away from all smoke like from cigarettes or e-cigarettes shortly before using the device.
Keep the device away from products that contain silicone such as lubricants, hair, beauty, and sun-care products. Silicone often appears as ‘dimethicone’ or other ingredients ending in ’cone’.
Keep the body of the AIRE dry, the mouthpiece is detachable and can be washed with soap and water.
Try not to take more than 10 breath tests in 24 hours, too many breath tests may harm the sensors in your device.
