# Can FoodMarble Diagnose Digestive Problems?

FoodMarble devices are **not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition**. Instead, you can think of your FoodMarble as an **activity tracker for your gut**.

### What FoodMarble does

Your device helps you understand how your body responds to the foods you eat. By tracking fermentation levels over time, you’ll be able to:

* Identify which foods are most compatible with your unique digestive system
* Spot patterns in your symptoms
* Gain insights to help guide everyday food choices

Through the FoodMarble program, you can also complete structured **Food Intolerance Tests** for four common FODMAPs:

* Lactose
* Fructose
* Sorbitol
* Inulin

These tests can help you uncover whether certain carbohydrates are contributing to your digestive symptoms.

### For SIBO testing and formal diagnosis

If you suspect a more complex condition, such as **SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)**, FoodMarble can still play a role. 

For formal testing and diagnosis, you should work with a doctor, ideally in partnership with **FoodMarble Healthcare**. Medical guidance is essential if you suspect an underlying condition, and your FoodMarble device can then be used as a supportive tool to help track your progress.

All you need to do is contact our Healthcare team - healthcare@foodmarble.com - and they will guide you on the next steps, connecting you with a qualified professional who can diagnose and assist in the treatment of SIBO. 

### Takeaway: 

FoodMarble empowers you with insights into your digestion — like a fitness tracker for your gut — while your doctor is there to help identify and manage any medical conditions. Used together, they can give you a clearer picture of your digestive health.
