What is the price of the test for lactose intolerance? Anonymous customer's question
Pharmacist's answer:
The price of a lactose intolerance test can vary depending on several factors, including the type of test that is performed, and the primary influence is also the health system and the insurance company - but it is somewhere between 50 and 100 euros, including tax if you decide to self-paying test implementation.
There are several types of tests for lactose intolerance, the most common of which are:
- The lactose breath test involves ingesting lactose, after which hydrogen levels in the breath are measured, and any increase in hydrogen levels is measured. The price of this test may vary depending on the medical institution or laboratory.
- Blood tests: specific blood tests can measure lactase or glucose levels after lactose consumption.
- Home Tests: There are also tests for lactose intolerance that can be done at home. These tests usually involve collecting samples that you send to a lab. The price of these tests varies depending on the brand and type of test.
