lactulose breath test

[Guest guest]

Has anyone done the lactulose breath test to check for overgrowth of

bacteria in the small intestine? I wanted to take the test but you

have to drink a powder that has lactose and lactulose and I haven't

have lactose/dairy in a year and a half, scared at what it might do

to me. Would love to hear any experiences from anyone, if any.

Thanks,

karen
