Measurement of breath hydrogen and methane, together with lactase genotype, defines the current best practice for investigation of lactose sensitivity.

Annals of clinical biochemistry - 1 Jan 2008

Waud Jonathan P, Matthews Stephanie B, Campbell Anthony K

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Currently, there is no 'gold standard' for detecting patients with sensitivity to lactose. Biochemical investigation by a breath hydrogen test alone detects <50% cases. Breath methane and symptoms are not recorded as standard practice. The clinical value of analysing C/T(13910) and G/A(22018) polymorphisms, strongly associated with lactose sensitivity, has not been established. METHODS: Two hundred...
