GENETICS FOR CELIAC AND LACTOSE INTOLERANCE

Collection Instr. …………: – Fasting not required.

Technical Information: The test is able to detect, in a single analysis, the predisposition to celiac disease and lactose intolerance, based on a gene study. In case of a positive result, the test enables a personalized diet to be designed according to the needs of the patient’s body.

Considering that the functional test used for diagnosis produces great abdominal discomfort, often accompanied with diarrhea and gas, disturbing the patient throughout his day after performing the test fasting in the morning, the genetic test for the recognition of lactose intolerance is a more efficient tool for diagnosis, since, with only one blood collection, it is possible to investigate with greater sensitivity the probability of an individual being lactose intolerant or not.
