Milk and dairy products often become a problem, giving rise to light or severe intestine diseases.
Our Service will tell you in a few days if you are intolerant to it.
If persons intolerant to lactose, drink milk or eat dairy products, they will be affected by gastro intestinal disorders as swelling, pains, cramps, diarrhea, nausea, exhaustion. Usually, once you swallowed it, lactose is going to be divided into two kind of sugars: galactose and glucose, which are used in some essential body functions. If this process doesn´t occur correctly, non digested sugars build up and give rise to a fermentation process, caused by microbial intestinal flora. This is the source of the intestinal diseases listed above.
Principle: in an intolerant person, non digested sugars ferment and generate hydrogen. Intestinal walls absorbe this gas and allow his expulsion through exhalation.
The Breathing Test analyses hydrogen´s concentration in exhalation air, after lactose swallowing. This method detects a primary, a secondary or a temporary intolerance.
