Lactose intolerance occurs when the small intestine cannot produce enough lactase. This enzyme converts lactose (milk sugar) into sugars that are more readily accessible to the body (such as glucose).
This means that milk and other dairy products containing lactose can cause digestive symptoms when consumed.
Symptoms usually include painful gas, bloating, & diarrhoea, & can lead to a build-up of harmful bacteria in the gut, as they feed on undigested lactose.
Our clinic has helped patients over the past two decades receive the care they need to feel their best. We offer same-day appointments, transparent pricing, and a highly qualified staff to attend to all their needs.
When should I get tested?
You may want to have this test if you are experiencing symptoms of lactose intolerance & noticing digestive difficulty after consuming dairy & milk products.
You may also be advised to have this test by a doctor, in order to rule out or confirm a diagnosis. You can have this test at any time.
