Can FoodMarble Detect Gluten Sensitivity or Intolerance?

Can FoodMarble Detect Gluten Sensitivity?

FoodMarble devices are not designed to detect gluten-related issues. If you suspect you may have a problem with gluten — such as coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity — the best step forward is to speak with your doctor, who can arrange the appropriate tests.

Why you might feel better avoiding wheat

Many people who don’t have a medical sensitivity to gluten still notice they feel better when they cut back on wheat. In these cases, it may not be the gluten (a protein) that’s causing the issue, but rather certain carbohydrates found in wheat — such as oligos-fructans.

These carbohydrates can ferment in the gut, producing gas that may lead to symptoms like bloating or discomfort. Your FoodMarble device can help detect this fermentation, giving you clues about whether your body is reacting to certain carbs rather than gluten itself.

Why this matters

If your symptoms are related to carbohydrates rather than gluten, it changes the types of foods you may be able to tolerate. This is where FoodMarble can be especially helpful — by giving you day-to-day insights into how your digestion responds to different foods.

✨ Takeaway: FoodMarble doesn’t detect gluten sensitivity, but it can help you uncover whether carbohydrates like oligos-fructans are contributing to your symptoms. If you suspect gluten is the issue, always consult your doctor for medical testing.
