Dd Had The Lactose Breath Test

The test took 2 hours to do. The nurse said that DD passed and doesn't have lactose intolerence. Okay that is great news BUT, the minute my DD drank dairy after the test, she bloated and had gas more than ever. Could the test be wrong? I haven't even talked to the DR. about this test yet. He's suppose to call me about the results. Test was done Friday and the doc. wasn't in at that time. Is this possible that she is allergic even though test said different?

Thanks.

I'M not familiar with this test, but I will say this...My 22 month old son was allergy tested by skin and blood. He had been projectile vomiting within 30 seconds of drinking milk. The skin test came back saying he was not allergic and the blood test (which I've heard is very accurate) said he was allergic. I think the doctor explained that the tests both look at sometihng different in milk...maybe that's the case with this test, too? Maybe she's allergic to something in the milk that this particular test doesn't look for??? Good luck!

My son is supposed to go for that test tomorrow. I am cancelling the appointment. I have been giving him Lactaid in place of milk or along with dairy and see improvement. I have even taken it away and saw the symptoms return. You can always try a lactase enzyme product.

Dairy makes me bloat and gives me gas too. But it isn't the lactose, it is the casein. I didn't realize it until Enterolab tested me for it.

I asked my son's pediatrition about having that test done and he said it will show if there is an intolerance but not the level of intolerance which is different for each person. He suggested an elimination and test with lactaid pills - we have since done an elimination diet for casein intolerance and he was OK with that, he just needs 3 lactaid ultra pills for ANY dairy. Lactaid milk is fine for him.

Maybe lactose is OK but casein is not? Don't know but maybe someone else can shed some light on it.

Has she been tested for an intolerance to casein (milk protien versus lactose which is sugar)? They usually do a skin test and or blood test.

      I was suffering from PF just previous to being dx with celiac disease about 25 yr. ago but have not been troubled with it since. Not sure what the connection between the two is of if there is one. But I do know it is a very painful condition that takes your breath away when it strikes.

      I have dealt with proctalgia fugax on and off for a year now. It feels almost paralyzing during an episode and they have started lasting longer and longer, sometimes 20+ minutes. I was recently diagnosed with celiac disease and wonder if the 2 are related. I did request a prescription for topical nitroglycerin for my PF episodes and that has helped tremendously!

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/
