Abstract:
:Lactose malabsorption was studied, by hydrogen breath test, in 72 adults suffering from irritable bowel syndrome, in 20 ulcerative colitis patients, and in 69 healthy subjects. The minimum dose of lactose required to cause a positive breath test was determined, and the symptoms caused and the resulting hydrogen eliminated quantified. A high incidence of lactose malabsorption was shown at standard doses (up to 50 g) in both the healthy subjects (70%) and the patients (86% and 85%, respectively). In the irritable bowel syndrome and the ulcerative colitis groups, symptoms occurred with a smaller quantity of breath hydrogen, presumably in association with a greater individual sensitivity of the colon to distension. The threshold lactose dose was notably lower in the diseased subjects who registered as evidence a prevalence of malabsorption at a 20-g lactose load. The pathogenetic role of lactose malabsorption in the irritable bowel syndrome is emphasized, as is the importance of the personal lactose tolerance.
