Lactose maldigestion is usually diagnosed by means of the H2 breath test. When 13C-lactose is used as substrate, a 13CO2 breath test can be performed simultaneously. In an earlier publication we described the relation between both the H2 and 13CO2 exhalation in breath and the measured intestinal lactase activity after consumption of 13C-lactose. We found a discrepancy between both breath test results in 36% of the cases. To investigate the possible cause of these incongruous breath test results, we studied gas production from carbohydrate in the colon, using 13C-lactulose as a non-absorbable substrate.
