• Foods that may help methane

  Reducing Methane Scores: A Dietary Approach Methane production in the gut is influenced by various factors, including diet. While limited research focuses on human methane levels, certain foods and dietary adjustments have shown promise in mitigating methane production. Understanding these dietary elements can potentially aid in managing methane scores. Cruciferous Vegetables Studies involving livestock have indicated that the consumption of cruciferous vegetables like radish, tSome readers

• Hydrogen breath testing explained

  Breath testing to find digestive incompatibilities was first proposed in the 1970s.  Today, breath testing is performed at some of the world’s top hospitals. The primary application for these tests is in detecting food intolerances, which may be triggering digestive difficulties. There have been numerous studies supporting the sciencFew readers

• What is fermentation and how does it affect me?

  Fermentation generally occurs in your gut (large intestine) when food that you've ingested isn't fully digested. The undigested food passes into the large intestine where your gut bacteria will break it down. Gases like hydrogen are produced as a by product of this process. For some people, who have methanogens present in their gut, methane can also be produced. The hydrogen present in your gut is actually converted into methane. Experiencing high fermentation levels is not necessarily a bad thFew readers

• Should I stay on a low-FODMAP diet indefinitely?

  The low-FODMAP diet isn't meant to be a life-long diet, as it excludes a lot of healthy and nutritious ingredients that are important to eat as part of a balanced diet. The low-FODMAP diet is beneficial as it can help you to reduce symptoms when you get started, but long term, we would recommend using your FoodMarble device to help identify foods that contain certain FODMAPs that might be problematic for you so that you can discover your particular tolerance for that food.Few readers

• What is the “gut microbiome”?

  The "gut microbiome" consists of billions of bacteria that live in your intestines (gut). For the most part, these bacteria live peacefully inside you and are a natural and healthy part of digestion. When the bacteria in the gut microbiome digest the food you eat, they do it by a process called fermentation.  Fermentation is not necessarily bad, but sometimes too much fermentation can cause symptoms such as pain, bloating or even diarrhoea and constipation.  Using a FoodMarble device you can tFew readers

• Your Gut Microbiome - A shift in composition

  The Gut Microbiome The human gut is home to trillions of microorganisms, collectively known as the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in our overall health and well-being, as this complex ecosystem of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes interacts with our body in various ways, influencing digestion, metabolism, immunity and even mental health. Each person's gut microbiome is totally unique. The composiFew readers
