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 that cause a reduced or delayed peak in glucose absorption are listed below;
- Chronic colitis (Salmonella spp)
- Element B
- Element C
- Element B
- Element C
