As a general rule of thumb, we recommend taking a breath test before eating and again approximately one hour after you eat. We recommend testing regularly throughout the day, at hourly intervals (for example one hour, two hours and three hours after eating). We recommend a maximum of 10 breath tests in 24 hours for the longevity of your FoodMarble device.

For some people, these ferment in the gut, which can be detected by your FoodMarble device. If you're reacting to specific carbohydrates rather than gluten (a protein), that changes wFew readers
