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 oral glucose tolerance test is more commonly utilised in practice. To see how to perform these tests click here.

Diseases Causing a Reduced or Delayed Peak in Glucose Absorption in Horses are listed below;
  • Chronic colitis (Salmonella spp)
  • Infiltrive lymphosarcoma
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Cyanthostomosis
  • Multisystemic eosinophillic epitheliotrophic disease
  • Food Allergy
  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth
