Il.ii-Blood Glucose Test
Esiankiki: Oh, now I remember—I've heard of this test before. My mom's a physician with her own office here
in town. I know that my mom is participating in a clinical trial for a new lactose intolerance test that
measures blood glucose.
Now I wonder if I'm lactose intolerant. I once had really bad stomach aches when I ate ice cream.
Maybe that's why? If we go to her office, we could try to participate in the trial and if we ask nicely, she
might give us the data. Wouldn't it be nice to know for sure if you are lactose intolerant?
Xiao-Ma: Yes, I would love that!
Sanjeet: And you know what's interesting when I was a baby, I didn't have these issues but I was able to digest
milk just fine as I was breastfed.
Chris:
Wow that's fascinating-so as a baby you probably did produce the lactase enzyme and, if you are right,
then your body at some point just stopped making it. Suddenly biology is starting to be more interesting...
Esiankiki: Well, that would explain why my mom calls people who can eat dairy without problems “lactase
persistent.” I never really understood what she meant by that. She probably means that the production
of lactase enzyme persists in those individuals when they are adults. Let's go and do that blood test; I'm
really curious now.
Here are the results that the group of friends obtained from
Esiankiki’s mother. Each of them had to drink a liquid that
contains lactose. At the time the liquid was consumed, a
physician assistant took a blood glucose measurement and
repeated this every 30 minutes for two hours.
