• AIRE 2 - Combined Fermentation Score Explained

  A high fermentation score means that there is a high level of gas production happening in your digestive system. The key is understanding how this gas production is affecting you by logging your symptoms.  In relation to how the scores are split, a score of 6.0 with a 1:1 hydrogen to methane split would mean a 3.0 score of both hydrogen and methane - which is low for each gas. As you may be aware from the information within the app, f-scores are categorised as low, medium and high:Popular

• What does my fermentation score mean?

  A single Fermentation Score on its own may not tell you much. Your FoodMarble device is meant to be used overtime so that users can see trends and patterns in their fermentation based on their hydrogen and methane readings. By taking regular breath tests throughout the day, you will gain a deeper insight about your digestion and digestive system over time. We also strongly encourage users to log their symptoms, meals, sleep, and stress. It's important to consider that foods you ate earlier in tFew readers

• I felt bloated but my fermentation score was low. What's going on?

  Bloating, abdominal (belly) pain, diarrhea, cramps and gases can be caused by any number of issues. Your FoodMarble device tracks one type of activity (fermentation), so some other causes of bloating may not be reflected in your fermentation scores.  This can include non-food triggers, such as stress and fatigue, which is why we encourage you to log these factors in the FoodMarble app. Some bloating can also be caused by liquid, rather than gases. When you experience symptoms that aren't rFew readers

• I did multiple tests in a row and had different fermentation scores. Is my device working?

  If you do multiple tests in quick succession, the moisture on the sensor can skew your results. For this reason, we recommend leaving at least one hour between breath tests, and taking no more than 10 tests during a regular day. When you're completing a food intolerance test, you will go through the Discovery section of the app and once you begin the test, the FoodMarble app will communicate to your device signalling for it to remain powered on with the sensors warmed up for the duration of theFew readers

• High scores most evenings? Gastric transit times & FODMAP stacking explained!

  If you've just started your breath testing journey with FoodMarble and you've noticed that your results trend upwards over the course of the day, most days, here are two important factors to consider when reviewing and interpreting your results: Your Gastric Transit Time Your gastric transit time is the time it takes for ingested material to journey through your digestive system. Gastric transit times vary a lot from person to person, so the following information should act as a guide:Few readers

• Helpful tips to understand your results

  Look for High Readings When you see increases in your breath readings, that indicates that what you ate or drank hasn’t been fully digested and is now being fermented in your gut by the bacteria that live there. After a breath test, the app will show you the meals you’ve logged. It will also show you how much of those hard-to-digest FODMAPs are in each meal, so you can link an increase in breath readings to something you ate or drank.
