Thanks for purchasing AIRE! We want you to get the most out of your device, so we've provided some resources that will help you learn about AIRE's different functions. If you need additional help, check our help page, or get in touch at help@foodmarble.com.
The AIRE app provides food, symptoms, sleep and stress-level logging to allow you to get the full picture about what affects your digestion. Use these features, in combination with breath testing, to help you figure out which foods you digest well and can enjoy without experiencing symptoms.
The AIRE app has a number of alert features to help you remember to update your logs! To change or manage these alerts:
AIRE comes with several sachets of FODMAPs — specific food ingredients that are commonly hard to digest. These are certain types of carbohydrates that can pass through the stomach and small intestine without being fully digested. Once they reach the large intestine, bacteria feed on them, causing the release of certain gases. This process is called fermentation, and can cause serious digestive disruption. Testing your fermentation levels with a FODMAP can help you figure out if that specific food component is potentially contributing to your digestive discomfort, but it isn't required to start using AIRE. You can test after regular meals as soon as you receive AIRE, and do your Food Challenges at a time that's convenient for you, or skip them!
If you do have difficulty digesting a particular FODMAP, the test could cause you temporary discomfort. If you'd prefer to avoid that, then you can choose not to do these structured tests and instead just do breath tests after regular meals to assess how well you are digesting what you normally eat.
Doing a FODMAP test requires some preparation. The app will guide you through the process as you do it. Please select the upper left menu and tap the "Pre-FODMAP Test Info" to review the necessary information before beginning.
