Years of Struggling with IBS Symptoms

Gregg’s journey with IBS began 3-5 years ago. Like many who suffer from digestive disorders, he tried various approaches to manage his symptoms. Initially, he was advised to follow a low FODMAP diet, but even that didn’t bring the significant relief he was hoping for.

“I did not have a FoodMarble when I started my journey. I was told to follow a low FODMAP diet, and even that did not significantly improve my problems.“

Despite these findings, Gregg faced a major hurdle—his doctor was not proactive in helping him resolve these problems.

However, Gregg found that his SIBO frequently returned, making it costly and time-consuming to keep testing before obtaining treatment.

Finding Solutions and Discovering FoodMarble

Through trial and error, Gregg learned that treating SIBO required either antibiotics or antimicrobial treatments. While both worked, the process was expensive and inconvenient, requiring commercial breath tests to confirm SIBO before obtaining the necessary medication.

That’s when Gregg discovered FoodMarble. Initially, he tested his hydrogen gas levels after each meal to monitor his digestive function. When he didn’t have SIBO, he reduced his testing to once per day to ensure he remained in good digestive health.

“About the same time I started using FoodMarble to evaluate my hydrogen gas level. At first, I tested after each meal every day. When I didn’t have SIBO, I started testing just once a day to confirm that I did not have SIBO.”

Fortunately, FoodMarble released the AIRE 2 device at the perfect time. As an early adopter, Gregg was now able to track both hydrogen and methane levels without relying on commercial breath tests, giving him a powerful tool to monitor his gut health from home. This gave him more control over his condition, allowing him to detect changes in his digestive health early and take action before symptoms worsened.

A Transformation in Digestive Health

With the help of FoodMarble and the knowledge gained from his Functional Medicine doctor, Gregg developed a system that worked. By using digestive enzyme supplements and closely monitoring his symptoms, he gradually improved his enzyme production. Over time, he was able to stop supplementing his stomach acid and digestive enzymes altogether.

“Each time I treated and eliminated SIBO, I found that with proper enzyme supplementation, I could eat everything without any digestive issues.”

As his digestion recovered, his SIBO episodes became less frequent—until they eventually stopped completely. For the past two years, Gregg has been free of digestive problems, enjoying meals without the worry of bloating, pain, or discomfort.

Why Gregg Recommends FoodMarble

Today, Gregg continues to use his FoodMarble AIRE 2 as part of his daily routine, ensuring that his digestion stays on track. His message to others struggling with IBS or SIBO is clear: FoodMarble is an invaluable tool for managing digestive health.

“I would absolutely recommend the AIRE 2 to people with IBS and/or SIBO or IMO. While it doesn’t replace medical professionals, it’s a tool that helps you learn what’s working for your digestion, ultimately saving you time and money by reducing the need for commercial breath tests.”

Thanks to the combination of expert guidance, the right treatments, and FoodMarble, Gregg has transformed his digestive health. He still checks in with his doctor a few times a year—not for clinical reasons, but simply to show appreciation for the guidance that helped him regain his well-being.
