AIRE-2 Device for Study of Breath Analysis in IBD

You consume low FODMAP diet for 24 hours before taking the FODMAP challenge

"You will engage in a 4-week study to document responses to 4 Fermentable Carbohydrates(FCHOs): Lactose(25g), Fructose(25g), Sorbitol(10g), and Inulin(10g). Each FCHO, dissolved in 250ml of lukewarm water, is taken after a 24-hour low FODMAP diet to clear residual FCHOs. Exhaled H2 and CH4 are measured before and 60 minutes after the first and last meal of the low FODMAP period. Each morning, after a baseline breath test, you will consume one FCHO challenge and record breath tests for three hours at 15-minute intervals. Following each challenge, there is a 6-day washout period with your typical diet. This 24-hour low FODMAP diet, FCHO challenge, and washout cycle is repeated until all FCHOs are tested. The order of FCHO challenges is randomized and consistent among all, who remain blinded to the order to minimize confounding factors.~25g sachet having lactose roughly equal to amount of lactose present in 1 large glass of milk"

The AIRE-2 breath analyzer will capture hydrogen and methane at baseline and after every fodmap challenge
