Methods
The study included 107 patients (mean age 14.07 ± 3.58 years; 46.7% boys) which includes 43 patients with Crohn's disease (CD), 31 with ulcerative colitis (UC), and 33 children with functional abdominal pain (AP-FGID). We analysed the result of the hydrogen breath test with lactose loading, two single nucleotide polymorphisms of the LCT gene (LCT-13910CC and LCT-22018GG). The results were analysed with MedCalc Statistical Software.Results
Adult-type hypolactasia (ATH) was found in 31% of patients with IBD and 42.4% of AP-FGID (p = 0.2). Lactose malabsorption (LM) was found in 27.9% of patients with CD, in 22.6% with UC, and in 24.2% with AP-FGID (p = 0.8). Lactose intolerance (LI) was diagnosed in a similar percentage of patients in each group (p = 0.9). Secondary LI in IBD patients does not depend on the location, duration, and activity of the disease and the number of relapses (p > 0.05). The median time of lactose-free diet in CD was 10 months and in CU 24 months.
