Five otherwise healthy children, ages 6 to 13 years, with episodes of abdominal pain, experienced the same symptoms with a lactose tolerance test and became asymptomatic on a diet low in milk products. None complained of diarrhea and all had been able to drink milk as infants. The abdominal pain was related to milk and lactose intolerance.

Thirty-eight consecutive children with recurrent abdominal pain underwent lactose tolerance tests; 28 of these were also given sucrose tolerance tests. Abdominal pain and abnormal lactose tolerance tests were noted in 11 of 38, while none of the 28 had an abnormal sucrose tolerance test; however, 1 had abdominal pain. Elimination diet for 4 weeks produced significant or total pain relief in 10 of 11 (lactose free) and 0 of 1 children (sucrose free). Lactose intolerance seems to play a contributory role in recurrent abdominal pain in children, while sucrose intolerance does not.

Dr W. M. Liebman has reported an interesting study on lactose intolerance in children with recurrent abdominal pain (Pediatrics 64:43, 1979). His data suggest that lactose intolerance plays a contributory role in recurrent abdominal pain in children. Recently I have performed an almost identical study on Danish children with recurrent abdominal pain with quite another result.1 Tolerance tests after oral lactose (2 gm/kg of body weight) were performed with parental consent on 50 children (22 girls and 28 boys, mean age 9.5 years) with recurrent abdominal pain and on 40 children (17 girls and 23 boys, mean age 9.6 years) without such pain.
