D-xylose or D-glucose absorption tests can be used to assess the absorptive capacity of the small intestine to absorb carbohydrates. D-glucose is more widely available than d-xylose and so the <u>oral glucose tolerance test</u> is more commonly utilised in practice. To see how to perform these tests click [[D-Glucose and D-Xylose Absorption Tests in Horses|here]].
 
 
 
=====Diseases Causing a Reduced or Delayed Peak in Glucose Absorption in Horses are listed below;=====
 
* Chronic colitis [[Salmonellosis|(Salmonella spp)]]
 
* Infiltrive lymphosarcoma
 
* Inflammatory bowel disease
 
* Cyanthostomosis
 
* Multisystemic eosinophillic epitheliotrophic disease
 
* Food Allergy
 
* Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth
