Lactose Intolerance Test

The breath test for lactose intolerance

This breath test will help you find out if you are intolerant to milk and other dairy products, and more specifically to lactose, a type of sugar found in dairy products.

If you’re lactose intolerant, you may already suspect it—you get cramps, other symptoms after eating dairy products. A hydrogen breath test is considered the gold standard for diagnosing lactose intolerance because it measures the presence of a gas that’s produced when bacteria in the gut break down lactose.

This is a simple, non-invasive and painless test aims to confirm or eliminate lactose intolerance as the possible cause of related symptoms.
