Measurement of breath hydrogen and methane, together with lactase genotype, defines the current best practice for investigation of lactose sensitivity.

- Abstract
Currently, there is no 'gold standard' for detecting patients with sensitivity to lactose. Biochemical investigation by a breath hydrogen test alone detects <50% cases. Breath methane and symptoms are not recorded as standard practice. The clinical value of analysing C/T(13910) and G/A(22018) polymorphisms, strongly associated with lactose sensitivity, has not been established.
