Description

Lactose is normally absorbed in the small intestine. If malabsorption occurs, lactose reaches the large intestine intact, where it is metabolized by the microbiota. In this process hydrogen and/or methane gases are generated, which are absorbed, pass into the bloodstream and are transported by the blood to the lungs, where they are eliminated with the exhaled air. Thus, an increase in the concentration of these gases in the breath after lactose administration indicates that lactose has not been absorbed correctly and, therefore, there may be lactose malabsorption or lactose intolerance.
