A member asked:
What do you suggest to be tested for lactose intolerance?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Avoid and monitor: A doctor can usually tell if you have lactose intolerance by asking questions about your symptoms. An elimination of dairy products for a short time to see if your symptoms improve suggests lactose intolerance. Sometimes a hydrogen breath test or a blood sugar test is used to confirm the diagnosis.
