Key Features of the Lactose Intolerance DNA Test

  • Accurate
  • Easy-To-Use Test Kit
  • Fast
  • Accredited
  • Flexible
  • The Human Tissue Act

Our home paternity test is an extremely accurate test and will provide you with up to 99.99% probability of paternity in the case of an inclusion, and 0% in the case of exclusion. All tests are performed using 21 genetic markers to meet international testing standards and guarantee maximum accuracy. The paternity test can be performed with only the samples of the alleged father and the child you do not need to include the sample of the mother although recommended.

Our DNA testing kit will contain all you require to perform the test. We will send you oral swabs to rub on the inside of your mouth in order to collect cheek cells; hence, you will not need to go through painful blood sampling. All our kits contain comprehensive instructions. You can see online how easy it is to collect your DNA Samples. 

Collect DNA Sample

Results will be issued within 3 to 5 working days from receipt of your samples at the laboratory. Results for home paternity testing will be sent to you by email unless otherwise requested (additional charges may apply).

Note: We can only guarantee standard result turnaround time when testing takes place solely using oral swab samples. Using a forensic sample  for your test may lead to an increase in turnaround time.

We do not offer express testing if you choose to send a forensic sample. We can offer express testing only if you use mouth swabs.

All home paternity tests are performed by an ISO17025 accredited laboratory which has performed over 250,000 DNA tests to date. You can, therefore, rest assured that your test is being performed under the strictest of guidelines.

Note: We can only guarantee standard result turnaround time when testing takes place solely using oral swab samples. Using a forensic sample  for your test may lead to an increase in turnaround time.

We do not offer express testing if you choose to send a forensic sample. We can offer express testing only if you use mouth swabs.

EasyDNA can test people living at different addresses or even different countries. Know more about sending DNA testing kits to different locations HERE.

We also provide support at every step of the process. Contact us via email, phone or Live Chat to discuss any questions you may have. Our home paternity test starts from as little as £99 for a two-person test – alleged father and one child. The sample of the mother can be sent as well and will be tested at no added cost. As with some other DNA tests, the sample of the mother, if available, is recommended (see Why test the Mother in a Paternity test?).

It is important to be aware that in the UK the Human Tissue Act regulates the collection and analysis of any human tissue. In order to send a sample for analysis, the person or donor of that sample must give their consent in writing in order for us to test their sample. Furthermore, in order to be fully compliant with the Human Tissue Act, the donor of the sample must also be made aware of how their DNA sample will be used. Failure to comply with the Human Tissue Act is a criminal offence.

We will not proceed with any testing if we do not have consent from all test participants. Testing any samples will be put on hold until we get the required signatures from all individuals.

Lactose intolerance & how the test works

The inability to digest lactose results in what is known as lactose intolerance. It is a condition which is far from being uncommon in adults and you could well be one of those individuals suffering from the many unpleasant side effects of lactose intolerance.

The test analyzes the Beta-D-Galactosidase gene and determines whether the enzyme responsible for lactose digestion is functioning. This will establish whether there is an intolerance or non-intolerance and hence if dietary recommendations, lifestyle changes are required.

Our test starts from $69 and results are issued in 10-15 working days from receipt of samples at the laboratory.

Collecting samples

Collecting samples is easy and performed by means of mouth swabs. The swab needs to be rubbed inside the mouth for around 1 minute, allowed to dry and then returned for testing.

Everything necessary for the test will be provided inside our kit. Once you have collected your DNA samples, you can send them back to us for testing. Results will be sent back via email.

Do you need this test?

If you suffer from any of the following symptoms after consuming milk, you may wish to consider this test:

*  Abdominal pain

*  Cramps

* Bloating

* Nausea

* Flatulence

* Diarrhea

* Steatorrhea (excess fat in stool)

If you test positive, then you can adopt a low-lactose or lactose free diet, depending on the severity of the symptoms. Some individuals who are lactose intolerant can keep consuming small amounts of lactose without any problems.

Please read the Health and Clinical Terms & Conditions HERE carefully and make sure you understand them before ordering this test.

More Information About Lactose

Any word ending –ose is used in biochemistry to denote the names of sugars – maltose, glucose and fructose are just 3 examples. Lactose is a sugar found in milk.

Lactose is digested efficiently thanks to an enzyme called lactase. Lactose is digested in the small intestine, this organ produces the enzyme required to digest lactose. Once digested, it is broken down into 2 more simple sugars, which are more readily absorbed and better sources of energy:

*  Galactose

* Glucose

New born babies produce high amounts of lactase in order to digest maternal milk. As the mother weans milk-feeding, natural lactase levels also decrease which results in lactose intolerance. Due to cultural practices that are many centuries old, humans continue to consume milk-containing products for their entire lives. We are, of course, the only mammals to consume milk beyond infancy.

Drinking milk in itself has no health benefits later in life. It is considered neither good for you or bad for you.

Other tests: Celiac Disease Genetic Testing

Celiac disease genetic testing can accurately confirm whether you have a genetic predisposition to celiac disease. If you suspect you have Celiac disease and all your symptoms seem to point to this condition, this test could be the ideal test for you. Read more about the celiac disease predisposition test.

We also offer a wide range of DNA Health tests that can provide you with a great number of insights into your health and genetics.
