A ward test for sugar in fæces

TL;DR: The various techniques that are used in the investigation of the small intestine are discussed, including laparotomy, endoscopy, and barium studies.

TL;DR: Results indicate that a formula based on fermented milk together with oral rehydration can be used to treat malnourished children with acute diarrhoea and sugar intolerance.

TL;DR: Five patients with sucrase-isomaltase deficiency, and one patient with primary glucose-galactose malabsorption had no increases in breath hydrogen excretion after oral sucrose or glucose, and observation of breath hydrogenexcretion after lactulose is not recommended as a means of predicting false-negative breath tests with other sugars.

TL;DR: Oral tolerance tests were performed upon 4 children with intolerance to the ingestion of sucrose, and to a lesser extent, to starch and indicate that the condition is the result of deficiency of intestinal isomaltase and, probably, of invertase.
