Lactose intolerance Analysis

70% of people worldwide are lactose intolerant. Experts say that this figure continues to increase in developed countries.

This intolerance occurs due to the inability of the body to digest normal amounts of lactose, which is the sugar found in dairy products. To be digested it is necessary to activate an enzyme (lactase). However, when the small intestine does not produce enough lactose, this type of intolerance appears and a lactose intolerance analysis should be taken into account.

The most frequent symptoms that lactose-intolerant people present are: flatulence, diarrhoea, bloating and abdominal pain.

These are the steps to follow to perform the specific lactose intolerance test in Eurofins LGS Megalab:

  1. A blood draw is done to measure the initial glucose.
  2. 100 grams of lactose is supplied in a solution with water.
  3. After 30 minutes blood is drawn again.
  4. This action is repeated after 1 hour of intake.
  5. Finally, the last blood draw is done after two hours

If the blood glucose is at 30mg per deciliter it indicates that it is not lactose intolerant.

If these levels fall below 20mg per deciliter, the diagnosis is confirmed.
