Lactose Intolerance Test

A Lactose Intolerance Test is a diagnostic medical procedure used to determine if your body lacks enough lactase—the enzyme needed to break down lactose, a natural sugar found in dairy products.

When a person with lactose intolerance consumes dairy, the undigested lactose moves into the large intestine, where bacteria ferment it, causing uncomfortable symptoms like bloating, gas, cramps, and diarrhea.
