How to Diagnose Lactose Intolerance and IBS
How to Diagnose Lactose Intolerance
You might self-diagnose lactose intolerance by refraining from dairy items (such as milk, cheese, and ice cream) and observing if your symptoms alleviate. If, after 1 to 2 weeks, consuming milk results in the return of symptoms, it’s highly probable you have lactose intolerance. Alternatively, a doctor can conduct a lactose breath test, a diagnostic procedure that confirms the presence of lactose intolerance. [6]
