Lactose Intolerance Test Results. What Do They Mean?

I just got back from the hospital. I tested positive for lactose intolerance.

My question is:

Before I even drank any of the lactase solution, my base methane levels started at 30 (she said normally it's 0 or 1 after fasting for over 12 hours) Then over the course of three hours, it spiked in the 50's.

My hydrogen levels stayed below 10.

Any idea what a base methane level that high could mean? Also, does this and celiac have any connection or are these two separate issues? I don't have a follow-up with my GI for another week.

      I agree with @trents, they should have run a total IgA. What was the normal range for the DGP IgA test? Different labs use different units thus have different normal ranges.

      Get your total IGA checked to make sure your celiac antibody test scores are trustworthy.

      I do eat 4 slices of wheat bread with almond butter. Yes it was a reference to my iron consumption.

      To give you a frame of reference for pretesting gluten consumption necessary to ensure valid antibody testing, here is the current recommendation for those who have been on a gluten free diet: The daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Not sure why you mentioned eggs and chicken...
