Abstract: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder in our daily clinical practice which is a chronic, relapsing gastrointestinal problem, characterized by abdominal pain, bloating and changes in bowel habit. Symptoms caused by lactose malabsorption may be confused with those of IBS and the two disorders can also co-exist in the same person. The aim of this study was to see the prevalence of lactose intolerance in persons with IBS and also to see the prevalence of lactose intolerance in persons without IBS. This observational study was carried out in the Department of Gastroenterology of BSMMU, Dhaka during July 2010 to September 2011.Total 100 patients fulfilling Rome III criteria for IBS and 30 age and sex matched people without having any symptoms of IBS or organic gastrointestinal disease or systemic disease were enrolled and were advised for lactose tolerance test (LTT). For lactose tolerance test fasting blood glucose level was measured, then 50gm of lactose was given orally and blood glucose was measured after 30mins of ingestion of lactose.
