Lactose from page A7 the symptoms, but there are two common tests that doctors use to diagnose lactose intoler ance. Those tests are: - Hydrogen Breath Test: The person drinks a lactose rich drink, and then their breath is measured regularly for the amount of hydrogen being expelled. Normally, in the air we breathe out, there is very little hydrogen, but undi gested lactose produces high levels of hydrogen. - Stool Acidity Test: The stool acidity test is used for young children to measure the amount of acid in the stool. Undigested lactose creates lac tic acid, glucose (another type of sugar), and other acids that can be detected in the stool. For most people with lac tose intolerance, dietary changes are sufficient to man age the condition. Lactose free products are available at most supermarkets. The degree of dietary changes depends on the severity of a person's condi tion. Some people may be able to drink milk in small amounts; others may not be able to drink it at all. Some people may be able to eat cheeses, but not eat other dairy products. You should talk with your doctor, who may refer you to a nutritionist, about the right dietary changes for you. It is irr^jortanUo remember that dairy products provide us with essential nutrients and minerals, such as calcium, and that not consuming much or any dairy products at all can affect your bones and growth. Taking a calcium supplement and a multivitamin can help you replace these nutrients and minerals. Depending on your age, gender, and childbearing status, there are different rec ommended daily amounts of calcium; you should talk to your doctor about the recom mendation for you. - Contribution b\ Sarah Langdon.
