Acquired delayed-onset hypolactasia is a common autosomal recessive condition. Cow's milk allergies, conversely, are less common conditions that may manifest with equivalent symptoms and are able to simulate and/or aggravate lactose intolerance. This study was designed to evaluate the contribution
BACKGROUND
Lactose intolerance (LI) is a common enzymatic insufficiency, manifesting by poor tolerance of dairy products, leading to low calcium intake and poor calcium absorption from dairy products. These changes might lead to an impairment of bone metabolism [1].
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the impact
Confirmation of the diagnosis of coeliac disease requires unequivocal evidence of recovery on a gluten-free diet. The lactose H2 breath test is a non-invasive technique for detecting lactose malabsorption, and this may occur in untreated coeliac disease. The utility of this test was investigated in
CONCLUSIONS
LCT 13910 CC genotype is associated with lactose intolerance, a condition often resulting in reduced milk intake. Women with the CC genotype were found to have decreased serum calcium and reduced bone mineral density.
BACKGROUND
The CC genotype of the 13910 C/T polymorphism of the LCT
Malnutrition is a common finding in Pakistan especially in children of low socio-economic class. Impairment of digestion and absorption makes the diet inefficient at fulfilling the requirements of the child and leads to malnutrition. Earlier work from this laboratory has shown that feeding a
Gastrointestinal protein loss and xylose and lactose absorption were both abnormal in underweight children with acute measles and diarrhoea. The protein loss was equivalent to a mean absolute albumin loss of 1.68 plus or minus 0.21 g/day, while the mean one-hour blood xylose level was 0.93 plus or
BACKGROUND
Involuntary weight loss frequently poses a diagnostic challenge. Patient and physician alike want to exclude malignant and other major organic illness. The present study aimed to evaluate whether a negative baseline evaluation (consisting of clinical examination, standard laboratory
