INTRODUCTION Everybody’s digestion is unique. As a result, finding what foods trigger problems can feel like guesswork. FoodMarble AIRE is designed to help you find which foods are most compat- ible with your digestive system. What is FoodMarble AIRE? The breath tester tracks how well your...
Page 5 The app allows you to log key informa- tion about your digestion and view re- sults. By tracking your breath alongside other factors like food and symptoms, you can start to better understand your unique digestive system.
Page 6 The Science: digestion and breath testing Your digestion is a complex system and lots of factors can affect it. Here’s an overview of the process: 1. Stomach: When food is consumed, it begins to be broken down in the mouth and passes through the oesophagus to the stomach, where it is broken down further.
Page 7 INTRODUCTION...
Page 8 The Science: digestion and breath testing (Cont.) 3. Large intestine: Trillions of bacteria in your colon make up a large part of an envi- ronment called the gut microbiome. These bacteria break down any undigested food in a process called fermentation. During fermentation, hydrogen and other gases are generated.
Page 9 INTRODUCTION...
Page 10 What are FODMAPs? Certain carbohydrates called FODMAPs can be particularly hard to digest and can trigger symptoms for many people with digestive difficulties. Fructose Sorbitol Inulin Lactose Your ability to digest different FODMAPs will vary depending on your unique digestive system and microbiome.
Page 11 INTRODUCTION Foods Library Use the Food tab on the home screen to help you see the FODMAP content of different foods.
Page 12 How does FoodMarble AIRE work? After taking a breath test, the app displays a Fermentation Score between 0 and 10. This is based off the level of hydrogen on your breath. A high Fermentation Score indicates that something you ate or drank has not been digested fully.
Page 13 INTRODUCTION In particular, it’s important to log any meals and snacks, symptoms (including poop) and any factors that impact your digestion like sleep and stress. Meal Symptom Poop Sleep Stress As digestion happens slowly throughout the day, it’s best to take breath tests every hour to track how your fermentation levels change.

Page 15 INTRODUCTION Make it part of your day The fi rst few weeks with your FoodMarble AIRE are all about building habits. By establishing a good habit of logging breath tests, food and symptoms early on, you’ll get more valuable insights later in the process.
Page 16: Caring For Your Aire
CARING FOR YOUR AIRE Try not to take more than 10 breath tests in 24 hours. Too many tests may harm the sensors in your device. Keep AIRE away from all smoke, like from cigarettes and cooking. Don’t smoke cigarettes or e-cigarettes shortly before using the device.
Page 17 Keep the device away from products that contain sili- cone, such as lubricants, hair, beauty and sun-care prod- ucts. Silicone often appears as “dimethicone” or other ingredients ending in “cone.” Keep the body of AIRE dry. The mouthpiece is detach- able and can be washed with soap and water.

Page 25: Logging Meals, Symptoms, Sleep & Stress
LOGGING MEALS, SYMPTOMS, SLEEP AND STRESS Logging meals and symptoms (including poop) accurately will help you better associate your breath test readings with possible prob- lem foods, and also help you find the foods best suited to your digestive system. Sleep and stress directly affect your digestion, so it’s important to log these also.
Page 26: Challenges
CHALLENGES Challenges are mini experiments that allow you to test your body’s response to a single food. After fasting overnight, you consume a single food ingredient that you suspect may be causing you problems. By taking a series of breath tests over a number of hours, you can track how well your body digests that food.
Page 27 FODMAP Challenges: If you purchased the FODMAP program add-on, you will receive a pack of four FODMAP sachets (Lactose, Fructose, Sorbitol & Inulin) which you can take challenges with. Please note: Challenges require preparation, so please read the instructions in the app carefully before you start.
Page 28: Understanding Your Results
Digestion is a complex system, so it takes some time to learn what makes you tick. The more you log with FoodMarble, the easier it will be to gain insight from your data. Here are some handy tips to help you to understand your results.
Page 29 in each meal, so you can link an in- crease in breath readings to something you ate or drank. It’s personal to you: Everyone has a completely different mix of gut mi- crobes. Even if some of a FODMAP that you eat reaches your gut microbiome, the microbes that you have may not be able break down that particular FOD-...
Page 30 Quantity matters: It’s not “all or nothing”. Usually, you can have at least some amount of any of the FODMAPs. You may find that for a particular FOD- MAP, the amount you can handle is very low, but the core take-away is that you need to find what your tolerance level is for different FODMAPs.
Page 31 UNDERSTANTING YOUR RESULTS much faster and usually pass direct- ly through the stomach, so you’ll see the effects of liquids faster. Different FODMAPs also ferment at different speeds. For example, simpler FODMAPs like fructose or lactose, can be broken down easily and are fermented more rapidly.
Page 32 water can be drawn into the gut by some FODMAPs, especially simpler FODMAPs like fructose and lactose. The combined effect of the gases and the water can inflate the gut, potential- ly causing pain and bloating. Gut transit: For some people the gases that are produced during fermentation will be released faster from the body.
Page 33 UNDERSTANTING YOUR RESULTS Can alcohol affect my Fermentation Score? Alcohol can have an effect on your Fermentation Scores, typically result- ing in 10s. We recommend waiting at least 1 hour for each unit of alcohol consumed before taking a breath test. Does smoking/vaping affect my Fer- mentation Score? Smoking can increase the content of...
