Malabsorption of "absorbable" carbohydrates by normal individuals
1983
Two studies using the hydrogen breath-analysis test showed incomplete absorption of fructose in young adults and failure to absorb the carbohydrate content of mixed meals in elderly adults. Normal, healthy individuals may routinely experience incomplete intestinal absorption of the soluble carbohydrates (starch, glycogen, sucrose, glucose, and fructose) which have been considered absorbable. Conclusions could not be confirmed as to why some carbohydrates are not malabsorbed. (kbc)
