Yerushalmy-Feler A, et al. - Researchers inspected the medical records of children aged 6–18 years who underwent lactose hydrogen breath testing at Dana-Dwek Children's Hospital, Tel Aviv, Israel, from August 2012 to August 2014 with the intention of elucidating the outcomes following treatment for lactose intolerance, which was commonly noted among children. Clinical relapses were experienced in 65 of 154 children. At the final follow-up of 3.3 years, 62.3% of the subjects were still observing a restricted diet. Findings disclosed that older children and those who were symptomatic during lactose hydrogen breath testing exhibited a greater tendency of being on a prolonged restricted diet. Therefore, it was deduced that only a third were able to achieve a regular diet, as revealed in the long-term follow-up of lactose-intolerant children.
