Love fruit, but it just doesn’t love you? If you are avoiding fruit because it upsets your digestion (or you think it might), then this test will determine if you could have fructose malabsorption. Testing for fructose malabsorption requires TWO breath tests: lactulose, then fructose. Each test is done on a different day.
Please note: test results are delivered in the context of a professional consultation – either in our clinic, by tele-consult or to the registered health consultant you specify.
