How to make a home test for lactose intolerance?

Buy two types of milk. One ordinary and the other containing lactose (buy in a health food store). Transfer them to identical bottles, and someone in the family (yes, you did not know), let them mark as A and B.

For a week drink on an empty stomach two glasses of milk from the bottle A, do not eat other dairy products.

Warning! Save if something is wrong with you.

Take 2-3 days off, and then a week drink from the bottle B and store any ailments.

Compare notes.

If there is no difference, it means that you are not allergic to milk, and if it turns out that you do not tolerate lactose, milk set aside. Eat more cheese (a little lactose), you can drink yogurt, kefir.
