BACKGROUND: A lactose-free diet is commonly prescribed to subjects with hypolactasia. We tested the effectiveness of a single ingestion of tilactase (a beta-D-galactosidase from Aspergillus oryzae) in adults with hypolactasia, previously assessed by lactose H(2)-breath test.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: After measurement of orocecal transit time (OCTT, by lactulose H(2)-breath test) and lactose H(2)-breath testing plus placebo, a total of 134 subjects were positive to hypolactasia and underwent lactose H(2)-breath testing plus either low (6750 U) or standard (11,250 U) doses of tilactase. The appearance of gastrointestinal symptoms during the tests was monitored.

RESULTS: OCTT was longer in malabsorbers (subjects without bloating, abdominal pain and/or diarrhoea, n = 25) than in intolerants (bloating, abdominal pain and/or diarrhoea, n = 109, P < 0.02). Malabsorbers had longer time to H(2) peak (P < 0.03), lower H(2) peak levels (P < 0.002) and smaller integrated H(2) excretion levels (P < 0.005) than intolerants. After tilactase ingestion, integrated H(2) levels were decreased by 75% (low dose) and 87% (standard dose) in malabsorbers, and by 74% (low dose) and 88% (standard dose) in intolerants. In the latter group, total symptom score were decreased by 76% (low dose) and by 88% (standard dose) (P < 0.0001).

CONCLUSION: A single oral administration of tilactase is highly effective in decreasing symptoms and hydrogen excretion of hypolactasia assessed by lactose H(2)-breath test. If confirmed by long-term observations, ingestion of tilactase might be a better option than exclusion diets in intolerant subjects with hypolactasia.
