Your gut can still have a problem with dairy without having a positive lactose test. IMO there is no reason to subject yourself to eating dairy and therefore no reason to pay for the test. The first thing out of every GI doc's mouth is stop eating dairy, it is difficult to digest.

Yeah, some of these tests may not have much significance. With my deductible met, and pretty good insurance, I'm more than willing to get in the testing and rule out possible alternatives. Each test seems to give me some insight.

I still can't believe dairy became a problem. It was my main food group before this past year. Probably 30% of my calories were dairy related.
