Lactose tolerance test as an alternative to hydrogen breath test in the study of lactose malabsorption

Lactose malabsorption is generally assessed by hydrogen breath testing (HBT). However, this test is not recommended in patients with high baseline hydrogen concentrations (H2B). In addition, breath testing is not recommended in the current situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the poten...

Lactose tolerance test as an alternative to hydrogen breath test in the study of lactose malabsorption

In addition, breath testing is not recommended in the current situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the potential infectiveness of the samples.
