Lactose Intolerance

What Does This Test Check?

This test checks for lactose intolerance, the difficulty digesting the sugar in milk, using a genetic approach that identifies the common variants behind lactase persistence in people of European ancestry.

Lola Health offers the Lactose Intolerance test at £226.06, with results in one to four working days from a home sample. It is the sole option on this page, so there is no provider comparison to make.

A positive result may indicate your body makes little lactase enzyme, but genetics does not capture every cause, and secondary lactose intolerance after illness can be temporary. Use the result to guide your diet and discuss persistent digestive symptoms with your GP.
