How to Diagnose Lactose Intolerance
You might self-diagnose lactose intolerance by refraining from dairy items (such as milk, cheese, and ice cream) and observing if your symptoms alleviate.

Alternatively, a doctor can conduct a lactose breath test, a diagnostic procedure that confirms the presence of lactose intolerance. [6]
