About this test

  • Bloating or abdominal discomfort after consuming dairy
  • Excessive gas or flatulence
  • Diarrhoea or loose stools
  • Nausea, sometimes with vomiting
  • Stomach cramps or rumbling
  • Urgency to use the bathroom after eating dairy
  • Symptoms appearing 30 minutes to 2 hours after dairy intake
  • Varying symptom severity depending on lactose amount
  • No symptoms at all in individuals with mild intolerance or low dairy intake

Recommended for individuals who experience bloating, abdominal discomfort, or digestive issues after consuming milk or dairy products. Ideal for those with unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms, or anyone looking to understand whether lactose intolerance may be contributing to their daily discomfort. Also suitable for people taking a proactive approach to gut health, personalised nutrition, or dietary planning.

  • Primary lactose intolerance (genetically inherited)
  • Secondary lactose intolerance due to gut injury or infection
  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with dairy sensitivity
  • Gastroenteritis-related temporary lactose intolerance
  • Coeliac disease with secondary lactose malabsorption
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) affecting enzyme production
  • Chronic bloating or digestive discomfort after dairy
  • Nutrient deficiencies from long-term dairy avoidance
  • Misdiagnosed food intolerances with overlapping symptoms

Lactose Intolerance: This is typically identified through genetic markers that affect lactase enzyme production, and can indicate difficulty digesting lactose, the sugar found in dairy products.
