BBC Watchdog healthcheck did an item on lactose intolerance last week, and
we have already had 3 requests for lactose tolerance tests. The test shown
on the programme was a "simple and straightforward test where you just blow
into the machine (Hydrogen analyser) and it tells you if you are intolerant"
Be prepared with your stocks of lactose, as if the increased load of GTTs
induced by new diabetes NSF were not enough. (www.doh.gov.uk/nsf/diabetes)
With best wishes
