What is Parmesan intolerance and how does it differ from Parmesan allergies?

Parmesan cheese intolerance primarily relates to difficulties in digesting lactose, the sugar found in milk and dairy products like Parmesan cheese. This is different from a Parmesan cheese allergy, which is an immune response to proteins in the cheese, often causing more severe symptoms like hives, respiratory issues, or anaphylaxis. Intolerance usually leads to digestive discomfort, without the immune system’s involvement.

What are the common symptoms of Parmesan intolerance?
  • Bloating
  • Gas
  • Abdominal pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Nausea
When should I consider getting a Parmesan intolerance test?

Consider getting tested for Parmesan cheese intolerance if you experience digestive symptoms such as bloating, gas, or diarrhea after consuming Parmesan cheese or other dairy products. Persistent symptoms following dairy consumption might indicate lactose intolerance. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine if these symptoms are due to intolerance or another condition.

How can I manage and cope with Parmesan intolerance in my daily life?

Managing Parmesan cheese intolerance involves reducing or eliminating Parmesan cheese and other high-lactose dairy products from your diet. Reading food labels is essential, as Parmesan cheese can be found in various dishes, including pasta and pizza. Opting for lactose-free alternatives or cheeses with lower lactose content can help. Additionally, lactase enzyme supplements may aid in digesting lactose. Consulting with a dietitian or nutritionist can be helpful in making appropriate dietary changes and ensuring that nutritional needs are met without discomfort.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
