This simple test can help you determine if dairy is causing your discomfort.
Please note, if you aren't sure how your digestive system will react, we recommend taking the test on the weekend or at a time when you plan to be mostly at home. If this test indicates you may be lactose intolerant, you should confirm the diagnosis with your doctor.
You may also want to monitor your body's response to products containing lactose to figure out how much you can eat or drink comfortably.
