• Food Intolerance Tests

  Food Intolerance Tests with Your FoodMarble Device If you’ve been struggling with uncomfortable digestive symptoms, it can sometimes feel like guesswork to figure out what’s behind them. That’s where Food Intolerance Tests come in. Your FoodMarble device allows you to track fermentation in your gut after consuming a natural FODMAP sample — helping you get clearer answers about which foods may be playing a role in your symptoms. The FODMAPs We Test Our intolerance tests cover four ofSome readers

• FODMAPs: FOS, GOS & Mannitol

  FODMAPs Beyond the Basics In the FoodMarble app, you’ll notice we provide direct testing for Lactose, Fructose, Sorbitol, and Inulin. But these aren’t the only FODMAPs that can cause fermentation in your gut — and symptoms can sometimes be linked to others too. Other key FODMAPs include: FOS (Fructans) GOS (Galacto-oligosaccharides) Mannitol 👉 You can use the filters in our food library to explore which foods contain these additional FODMAPs.

• Custom Food Challenges

  Custom Challenges in the FoodMarble App If you’ve ever wondered “Can I really eat this food?” — custom challenges are for you. Custom Challenges give you the flexibility to test real foods in real portions, helping you discover your personal tolerance. Instead of cutting foods out entirely, you’ll learn what amount works for your body. This puts you in control — and helps you enjoy a more varied, less restrictive diet with confidence.

• If I record a high result for Inulin..

  Inulin, FOS, and GOS – What’s the Difference? When you’re working through your FoodMarble Challenges, you may come across terms like inulin, FOS, and GOS. These are all types of FODMAPs, but they aren’t the same thing. Here’s how they differ: 🌱 Inulin Inulin is a type of fructan, made up of long chains of fructose molecules. Commonly found in foods like chicory root, onions, garlic, and Jerusalem artichokes. Because the chains are longer, inulin often takes more tSome readers

• Challenge Day: High baseline reading

  Low Baseline Hydrogen Before starting your FoodMarble Challenge, the app will prompt you to take a baseline breath test. Recording a low baseline hydrogen level helps us measure changes more clearly during the Challenge, so you get the most accurate results. Your hydrogen baseline should be under 3.5 before starting. If it’s higher, don’t worry — the app will prompt you to retest aftFew readers

• What's in the Food Intolerance Test packs?

  What’s in the Food Intolerance Test Packs? Each FODMAP test pack contains specific sugars that naturally occur in everyday foods. To give you a sense of what’s inside, here’s how the contents compare to real foods: Fructose → the same amount as eating about 2 medium-to-large apples * Lactose → the same amount as drinking about 2 cups of milk * Inulin → the same amount as eating 1–1.5 average Jerusalem artichokes Sorbitol → the same amount as eFew readers

• Food Intolerance Tests: Should I consult my doctor first?

• What are FODMAPs?

  What Are FODMAPs? FODMAPs are types of carbohydrates (sugars and fibers) that can be difficult for some people to digest. Normally, nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine. But when FODMAPs aren’t absorbed properly, they continue into the large intestine, where they are fermented by gut bacteria. This fermentation can lead to digestive symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal pain, and changes in bowel habits. What does FODMAP stand for? Fermentable OligosaccharideFew readers

• Inulin Challenge - Testing every 30 mins & extending your challenge

  Your Inulin Challenge – What You Need to Know Inulin is a FODMAP that can take a little longer for your body to process. Since none of us have the enzymes needed to break down inulin in the small intestine, it always travels to the large intestine, where fermentation takes place. This means it’s completely normal to see a delayed rise in your fermentation levels during this challenge — sometimes even hours later. If you know you have slow gastric transit, this is especially worth keepiFew readers

• Can I start the food intolerance tests if my SIBO hasn't cleared?

  Can I start the food intolerance tests if my SIBO hasn't cleared? It depends. If you’re highly symptomatic, it’s usually best to wait until you’ve completed your SIBO treatment plan before starting the food intolerance tests. If you do choose to run a test while SIBO is still present, you may notice stronger symptoms, since bacteria are more likely to ferment the test foods. The results from the tests can still provide useful insights into your potential triggers — just keep in mFew readers
