Quick answer
The Lactose Tolerance Test checks how the body handles lactose, the sugar found in milk. After a person drinks a measured lactose solution, blood glucose is measured over a period of time. If lactose is broken down normally, glucose rises; if the enzyme lactase is deficient, glucose may stay flat and digestive symptoms can appear. The test helps evaluate whether lactose intolerance explains symptoms after dairy.
What this test measures
Lactose is a sugar in milk and dairy products. It is digested by lactase, an enzyme in the small intestine. When lactase activity is low, undigested lactose passes into the colon, where bacteria ferment it and cause gas, bloating, cramps, and diarrhea.
During the test, a person drinks a lactose solution after a fasting period. Blood samples are taken at intervals to measure glucose, and the person reports any symptoms. A rise in glucose suggests lactose was digested, while a flat curve suggests malabsorption. Some providers also measure hydrogen in breath instead.
Providers order lactose testing when digestive symptoms follow milk, ice cream, or other dairy products, and when other causes have been considered. Lactose intolerance differs from milk allergy, which involves the immune system. A qualified healthcare provider should interpret the test and advise on diet changes.
