Re: Lactose Malabsorption Testing       01/25/11 04:02 AM Edit Reply Quote Syl Reged: 03/13/05 Posts: 5499 Loc: SK, CANADA Read the section on "Milk and IBS" in the third article in my signature. It isn't just lactose in milk that can be a problem for IBSers. Slow digestion will not likely effect the results. If you have lactose or fructose intolerance it means you cannot digest these sugars and they pass through the small intestine where they are normally absorbed to the colon where they are fermented releasing hydrogen and other gases. The reason you blow in the bag is to see if the sugar has reached the colon where it is fermented producing hydrogen gas instead of being absorbed in the intestine. -------------------- STABLE: ♂, IBS-D 50+ years - Science of IBS The FODMAP Approach to Managing IBS Symptoms Evidence-based Dietary Management of Functional GI Symptoms: The FODMAP Approach FODMAP Chart & Cheatsheet The Role of Food & Dietary Intervention in IBS Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
