# Can I test for SIBO using AIRE 2?

### What is SIBO?

We all have microbes living throughout our bodies — and this is completely normal and healthy. In the digestive system, the number of microbes increases as we move down the tract, with the largest concentration found in the large intestine.

Sometimes, however, **too many microbes end up in the small intestine**. When this happens, it can lead to a condition called **Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)**.

### Common symptoms of SIBO

People living with SIBO may experience a variety of digestive symptoms, such as:

* Abdominal pain
* Bloating
* Nausea
* Belching
* Diarrhea
* Constipation

Some people with SIBO produce higher levels of **hydrogen**, while others produce more **methane** — and these gases can contribute to their symptoms.

### Can I test for SIBO using AIRE 2?

If you suspect you may have SIBO, it’s important to **speak with your doctor**. Only a qualified healthcare professional can diagnose the condition and guide you on treatment.

If you’ve already been diagnosed with SIBO, your device can be very helpful for:

* Tracking your **fermentation levels day to day**
* Monitoring how your gut responds over time
* Supporting discussions with your healthcare provider
