Lactulose said represent damage and mannitol as a measure of normal small bowel function serves normalizing factor for lactulose. A underappreciated limitation this common understanding test that not absorbed any substantial extent by transcellular process. Additionally, interpretation consistent with current paracellular pathways, where three pathway types exist: pore, leak, unrestricted. Pore...
