What is this test?

This is a dietary intake assessment that records how much milk you consumed during the previous 30 days. It is a questionnaire-based phenotype measure, not a laboratory analysis of blood, urine, or breast milk.

Why might I need this test?

A clinician or nutrition professional may use this information to evaluate your overall diet, calcium and protein intake, or exposure to certain foods. It may also contribute to research or a broader dietary assessment.

How is the test performed?

You report the amount and types of milk consumed over the 30-day period, including questions about frequency or serving size when applicable. Your responses are then recorded and may be compared with other dietary information.

How do I prepare for the test?

No fasting or blood draw is required. Before completing the assessment, review your recent milk consumption and be as accurate and consistent as possible, including beverages and foods that contain milk if the questionnaire asks about them.

Clinical interpretation

How abnormal results are interpreted and what conditions they suggest.

Frequently asked questions

Is this a blood test?
No. This is a dietary assessment based on your reported milk consumption over 30 days, so there is no need for a blood sample.
Does the result tell me whether I am lactose intolerant?
No. Lactose intolerance is usually evaluated through symptoms, dietary history, and sometimes a clinician-supervised breath test rather than milk intake alone.
Should I include other dairy products in my answer?
Follow the questionnaire's instructions. If it asks only about milk, report milk separately; if it asks about dairy or beverages containing milk, include those items as directed.
