How do I know if I'm a methane producer?

Understanding Methane Production and Gut Health

Methane production is quite common, but the amount each person produces can vary greatly.

Research shows that around 30–60% of people have the gut microbes needed to produce methane. How much you produce depends on many factors — including your diet, age, and even certain medications.

It’s also important to remember that gas production naturally fluctuates from day to day. That’s why tracking with AIRE 2 can be so valuable. By combining your breath readings with insights about your diet and lifestyle in the app, you can start to understand how methane (and other gases) are affecting your digestion and overall gut health.
