Question 2

AIRE 2 - Combined Fermentation Score Explained

Accepted Answer

A high fermentation score means that there is a high level of gas production happening in your digestive system. The key is understanding how this gas production is affecting you by logging your symptoms.

In relation to how the scores are split, a score of 6.0 with a 1:1 hydrogen to methane split would mean a 3.0 score of both hydrogen and methane - which is low for each gas.

As you may be aware from the information within the app, f-scores are categorised as low, medium and high:

Low = 0 - 3.4
Medium = 3.5 - 6.7
High = 6.8 - 10

Some users find that if they have a generally high background methane level, their hydrogen scores seem to have a greater effect on their symptoms.

It is also good to note that for a challenge day, you can proceed with the challenge with an elevated methane level, provided your hydrogen score is low.

Question 3

My AIRE won't turn on

Accepted Answer

If you're having trouble turning your device on, first try holding down the silver power button for five seconds. There is a delay on the power button to prevent the device from turning on accidentally. This means that quickly pressing the button may not activate AIRE.

After holding the power button down for at least five seconds, check to see if the lights on the front of the device have begun to light up. Also check for a blue flashing light on the bottom device. Wait 30 seconds to see if any of the lights on the front turn on. These come on in stages as the device warms up, so if the first set isn't working it may take time to see the second set light up.

If the device didn't turn on, use the cord in the box to charge it. Ensure the charger is fully inserted into the port on your AIRE. When the device is charging, the light on the side, next to the power button, will start off red. It will turn green when the device is fully charged.

If you are using the blue and white cable, please note that it's possible for it to slide into the USB port both ways, but **only one way works as the four prongs must align with the inside of th

Question 6

If I record a high fermentation score for Inulin, does that mean that I am sensitive to all oligosaccharides?

Accepted Answer

Inulin belongs to a group of FODMAPs called galacto-oligosaccharides (sometimes referred to as GOS), but inulin is not the only GOS. Therefore, a sensitivity to inulin does not mean that you will be sensitive all GOS-containing foods.
