FoodMarble Aire breath tester, has anyone heard of this?

Hi, I'm new here, I've had IBS diagnosed for 20 years and it's getting better by following some of the Fodmap diet (no onions, garlic or orange juice!).

In my constant research I've come across this new device, the FoodMarble Aire about to be launched that's a personal breath tester, has anyone seen this or ordered one? What do you all think?

Hi, I have just seen an ad on facebook for this. Looks interesting. Did you end up getting one or have you heard any more about it?

Never tried it but I've heard it's not that great

Oh, ok thanks. Will keep reading about it and wait a while and see what the reviews are like after its been in use a while longer.

I’ve used this quite a bit and when it works it really is immensely helpful. But the devices just don’t seem to last that long. I’ve gone through four of them - the first two I used for about two weeks and they gave me great data and really helped me manage my diet. But then they would just fail. The manufacturer replaced it each time, but the third and fourth units they sent me were obviously “refurbished” ones and they just didn’t work at all. I think the technology is incredibly promising, I would absolutely love to have one of these that was durable, but my experience was that they just are not. I’m really curious if my experience was an outlier or if the devices just are not performing up to spec in real world conditions.

Thanks for the heads up!
