      Very welcome to see the HPRA protecting public health by calling this quack fad out 👏👏https://twitter.com/thehpra/status/957968752888504321 …

      Interesting! I've had a few family members do a 'lactose-intolerance' test with their gastros, is this not a thing? I can't remember exactly what it was, but I think it had to do with measuring gas in the bowel after eating lactose

      I defer to specialist colleagues in the area such as @DaraDietitian and @DeiseDietitian I think it’s a much more specialist (set of tests) inc breath test So different to the quack stuff being called out today. Anyone able to answer “the man from down under” better?

      Agree lactose breath testing done under the supervision of a gastroenterologist is a totally separate thing to the likes of the widely available IgG intolerance tests for which there is no proven role.

      Good to know, thanks! The other one that really gets my goat is the totally fraudulent "allergy tests" that require posting hair samples to a company that sends back total gibberish and a large fee
