In younger children, fructose intolerance is more common and typically presents with symptoms such as bloating and diarrhea. However, there are also other gastrointestinal issues that may indicate fructose or lactose intolerance.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For example:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Nausea<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Constipation<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Vomiting (rare)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Heartburn (rare)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dizziness (rare)<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p>It is worthwhile to carry out a test if an intolerance is suspected. If, for example, fructose intolerance is present, the incompletely digested sugar components can, in the long term, damage the liver. However, this risk exists only if the affected children consume too much fructose.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Children who suffer from fructose intolerance sometimes <strong>also cannot tolerate sorbitol. <\/strong>This is a sugar alcohol that cannot be properly absorbed in the small intestine. Sorbitol intolerance can also occur in the context of glucose intolerance, where carbohydrate absorption is impaired. Whether lactose, glucose, fructose, or others: the breath test can also detect complex disorders caused by bacterial overgrowth.    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group content-section !gap-44 lg:!gap-46 max-lg:!flex-col is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-ad2f72ca wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group flex-3 is-vertical is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-c0ca7d81 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  !m-0\" id=\"diagnostik\">How is the H2 breath test <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-red-color\">performed at our clinic in Munich?<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The lactose test for children is completely painless and very easy to perform. It is the current gold standard for identifying lactose and fructose intolerances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the case, your child receives a glass of water containing a fructose or lactose solution (300 ml), which must be consumed within a <strong>maximum of 5 minutes<\/strong>. Afterwards, at regular intervals of about every <strong>15 to 30 minutes<\/strong>, your child breathes into a special device that measures hydrogen exhalation. Lactose and fructose are broken down by bacteria in the large intestine; the hydrogen produced is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and then exhaled. If your child has an intolerance, the metabolism in the small intestine is impaired, causing more hydrogen to be produced in the large intestine. As soon as it is exhaled, we can measure it with our device. During the measurement, the child should remain seated and avoid excessive movement.     <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The entire test takes <strong>2.5 to 3 hours<\/strong>. It\u2019s best to bring your child\u2019s favorite toys to prevent boredom. During the test, your child must not eat or drink anything. Of course, you may bring your child\u2019s favorite snack as a reward, which they can enjoy after the test.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cover is-light flex-1 rounded-[22px] overflow-hidden blurred-cover !items-end !justify-start !p-30 !min-h-500 max-lg:w-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" class=\"wp-block-cover__image-background wp-image-906 size-large\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.m1-privatklinik.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/b5af301050e142806c3bf306e9bc871242eb1d6d-min-1024x683.webp\" style=\"object-position:70% 50%\" data-object-fit=\"cover\" data-object-position=\"70% 50%\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.m1-privatklinik.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/b5af301050e142806c3bf306e9bc871242eb1d6d-min-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.m1-privatklinik.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/b5af301050e142806c3bf306e9bc871242eb1d6d-min-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.m1-privatklinik.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/b5af301050e142806c3bf306e9bc871242eb1d6d-min-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.m1-privatklinik.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/b5af301050e142806c3bf306e9bc871242eb1d6d-min-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.m1-privatklinik.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/b5af301050e142806c3bf306e9bc871242eb1d6d-min-2048x1365.webp 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><span aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-cover__background has-background-dim-0 has-background-dim\" style=\"background-color:#d1cacb\"><\/span><div class=\"wp-block-cover__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-cover-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-large-font-size\"><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group content-section is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-4b2eccd6 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading  !m-0 lg:w-8\/10 text-center hyphens-auto\" id=\"aussage\">How reliable is the <mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-red-color\">hydrogen breath test<\/mark>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lg:w-7\/10 text-center\">If the <strong>hydrogen level in the breath increases significantly<\/strong>, a diagnosis can be made when corresponding symptoms are present at the same time. However, there are also children with false-negative results: they test negative but still suffer from an intolerance with all typical symptoms. In some cases, the test may also be false-positive \u2014 for example, due to rapid small-intestinal transit. Therefore, it does not provide a 100% guarantee.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lg:w-7\/10 text-center\">If necessary, we can perform a second test. In cases of suspected lactose intolerance, we administer <strong>small amounts of lactulose<\/strong> before the breath test \u2014 a complex carbohydrate that always produces hydrogen in the large intestine. Children who still do not show a positive H2 breath test in this situation are referred to as \u201cnon-producers\u201d in medical terminology. They do not produce hydrogen even when the trigger is stronger.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"lg:w-7\/10 text-center\">An alternative is to eliminate lactose or fructose from the diet for two weeks. It is important to watch out for hidden lactose or fructose as well, which is why consultation at our clinic is advisable.

In Europe, about 5 to 15% of people are affected, with the prevalence being lowest in Northern Europe. In Africa and East Asia, however, 65 to over 90% of adults are lactose intolerant.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How common is lactose intolerance in children?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"content\">Lactose intolerance is very rare in children under the age of five. It usually develops during adolescence or adulthood. Worldwide, lactose intolerance is very common, although there are significant differences depending on the region and population group.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How is fructose intolerance tested in children?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"content\">An H2 breath test is the method of choice to determine fructose intolerance. If hereditary fructose intolerance is suspected in babies, a more complex DNA mutation analysis is recommended. We are happy to explain at our children\u2019s clinic in Munich which test is appropriate for your child.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How does an H2 breath test work?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"content\">You should plan 2.5 to 3 hours for the test. After your child drinks water containing a certain amount of lactose or fructose, they blow into a device every 15 to 30 minutes, which measures the hydrogen level. Elevated concentrations indicate lactose or fructose intolerance.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>When is an H2 breath test positive?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"content\">The hydrogen concentration is measured in ppm (parts per million). The test is considered positive if the H2 concentration rises more than 20 ppm above the baseline value measured at the very beginning. If the result is unclear, the test duration can be extended.  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>How does lactose intolerance present in children?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"content\">In children, lactose intolerance primarily presents with repeatedly recurring abdominal pain. Bloating, a feeling of fullness, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps may also occur. In addition, the symptoms can resemble those of a cow\u2019s milk allergy, although the latter often causes more severe reactions (such as hives, breathing difficulties, vomiting, or a drop in blood pressure).  <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Does the test carry any risks?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"content\">After the breath test for suspected lactose intolerance or other intolerances, bloating or diarrhea may occur. However, these symptoms are harmless and usually disappear on their own very quickly. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Is lactose intolerance hereditary?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"content\">Yes, lactose intolerance can be genetically determined. The predisposition to lactose intolerance is often inherited and is more common in populations that traditionally consume few dairy products. <\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>What alternatives are available for people with lactose intolerance?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"content\">For people with lactose intolerance, there are numerous alternatives to conventional dairy products, such as lactose-free milk, plant-based milk varieties (e.g., soy, almond, or oat milk), and specially produced lactose-free products.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Can lactose intolerance be treated?<\/summary>\n<p class=\"content\">There is no cure for lactose intolerance, but symptoms can be managed by avoiding lactose-containing foods and using lactase supplements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"content\">Sources: Institute for Quality and Efficiency in Health Care (IQWiG)<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group content-section bg-[#F2F2F2] rounded-[16px] py-40 px-24 lg:p-64 !items-start max-lg:!flex-col max-lg:!gap-32 has-background is-content-justification-space-between is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-0dfbf163 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#eee9e2\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p class=\"font-semibold !text-2xl\">Nichts mehr verpassen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"!mt-16 !text-lg\">Bleiben Sie auf dem Laufenden mit unserem Newsletter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\"><script>(function() {\n\twindow.mc4wp = window.mc4wp || {\n\t\tlisteners: [],\n\t\tforms: {\n\t\t\ton: function(evt, cb) {\n\t\t\t\twindow.mc4wp.listeners.push(\n\t\t\t\t\t{\n\t\t\t\t\t\tevent   : evt,\n\t\t\t\t\t\tcallback: cb\n\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t);\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t}\n})();\n<\/script><!-- Mailchimp for WordPress v4.11.1 - https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/mailchimp-for-wp\/ --><form id=\"mc4wp-form-1\" class=\"mc4wp-form mc4wp-form-2651 mc4wp-form-basic\" method=\"post\" data-id=\"2651\" data-name=\"Subscription form\" ><div class=\"mc4wp-form-fields\"><p class=\"input\">\n\t<label for=\"email\" class=\"sr-only\">Email address<\/label>\n\t<input type=\"email\" id=\"email\" name=\"EMAIL\" placeholder=\"Email Address\" required=\"\">\n<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"submit-button\">\n\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Subscribe\">\n<\/p><\/div><label style=\"display: none !important;\">Leave this field empty if you're human: <input type=\"text\" name=\"_mc4wp_honeypot\" value=\"\" tabindex=\"-1\" autocomplete=\"off\" \/><\/label><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_mc4wp_timestamp\" value=\"1778505631\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_mc4wp_form_id\" value=\"2651\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_mc4wp_form_element_id\" value=\"mc4wp-form-1\" \/><div class=\"mc4wp-response\"><\/div><\/form><!-- \/ Mailchimp for WordPress Plugin -->\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INTRODUCTION Not only adults but also children may sometimes be unable to properly digest fructose or lactose.
