SIBO monitoring with AIRE 2

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO & How AIRE 2 Can Help)


Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a condition where certain types of bacteria grow in excess in the small intestine — the part of the digestive system where you absorb most of your nutrients.


Instead of your body absorbing the food, these bacteria begin to ferment it, producing gases like hydrogen and methane. This gas buildup can lead to bloating, discomfort, and other symptoms such as:


  • Unintended weight loss
  • Brain fog
  • Fatigue
  • Skin issues


How AIRE 2 Can Help You Monitor SIBO


Your AIRE 2 device allows you to track your breath hydrogen and methane levels daily, helping you see how your fermentation levels are changing — and what’s making a difference.


Here’s a simple approach you can take:

1. Measure Your Baseline

Begin by testing regularly to get a sense of your current gas levels. At the same time, log your symptoms, meals, sleep, and any other relevant factors. This gives you a starting point for comparison.

2. Make a Change

Start a new treatment protocol, dietary adjustment, or supplement routine — ideally in collaboration with your healthcare provider. Keep testing to see if your gas levels begin to shift.

3. Monitor and Improve

Over time, use your results to track progress, adjust your approach, and learn more about what works best for your digestion.


Be Patient — SIBO Treatment Takes Time


During SIBO treatment, your gut microbiome is undergoing a lot of change. As a result, fermentation levels may seem erratic or unpredictable for a while. That’s completely normal.


Daily breath testing gives you real insight during this phase — helping you see trends that might not be obvious day to day.


Work with a FoodMarble Healthcare Provider


SIBO is a complex condition, and while tools like AIRE 2 can help you monitor progress, it’s essential to stay in regular contact with a trusted healthcare provider. They can guide you through diagnosis, treatment options, and the right protocols for your unique case.
