Question directed to bb sufferers with LACTOSE INTOLERANCE

Hello,
I'd like to know of everyone who has been diagnosed with lactose intolerance (please also write about the severity of your lactose intolerance (in my case it's a mild form)) whether or not you have got a secondary lactose intolerance.
In case you have got a lactose intolerance proved by a test, but it's not clear which kind of lactose intolerance you can find out by a DNA test. You just have to do a DNA test with taking a swab from your cheeks and sending it in to a laboratory which can test for it. In Germany this test did cost me something like 80 dollars. You need to find a laboratory which carries out such test, call them and ask if they can send you test material in case you want to do this test without involving a doctor.
Why this seems important to me? Because secondary lactose intolerance is usually triggered by another disease or something else being wrong in your small intestine. This other thing happening could be key to your bad breath problem.
