Sugar malabsorption

The energy substrates are contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to any component of the solution. Dextrose solutions are contraindicated in patients with diabetic coma with excessively high blood sugar. Concentrated dextrose solutions are contraindicated in patients with increased intracranial pressure, delirium tremens (if patient is dehydrated), hepatic coma, or glucose-galactose malabsorption syndrome Alcohol dextrose solutions are contraindicated in patients with epilepsy, urinary tract infections, alcoholism, and diabetic coma... 

Sucrose Cane and beet sugar. Sorghum. Pineapple. Carrot roots. In sucrase deficiency, malabsorption leads to diarrhea and flatulence. 

That initial assessment should consider whether diarrhoea is watery, or sugar or fat malabsorptive, or whether there is active bleeding or significant abdominal pain suggesting inflammatory disease. In the elderly constipation with overflow may be the real problem, and the possibilities of partial mechanical obstruction and neoplasia must be born in mind. 

Many i rsons from non-Eastern European-derived cultures are unable to tolerate large quantities of the milk sugar lactose because of the absence of enough of the active digestive enzyme, lactase. In these persons, consumption of lactose results in effects similar to those described for oligosaccharide consumption. Severe intolerance can result in malabsorption of all nutrients from the diet due to diarrhea. 

Lactose intolerance can either be the result of a primary deficiency of lactase production in the small bowel (as is the case for Deria Voider) or it can be secondary to an injury to the intestinal mucosa, where lactase is normally produced. The lactose that is not absorbed is converted by colonic bacteria to lactic acid, methane gas (CH4), and Hj gas (see figure on left). The osmotic effect of the lactose and lactic acid in the bowel lumen is responsible for the diarrhea often seen as part of this syndrome. Similar symptoms can result from sensitivity to milk proteins (milk intolerance) or from the malabsorption of other dietary sugars. 

The consequences of such injury are, of course, not only malabsorption because of the reduction in the surface epithelium and in microvilli, but ineffective digestion because of reduction in enzyme secretion and breakdown of conjugated bile acids. The result is total malabsorption of lipid, protein, sugar, electrolytes, calcium, and both lipid-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. 

A rare metabolic disorder of children, sometimes called Malabsorption Syndrome, which appears to run in families and, therefore, may be due to a genetic defect. The disease results from a sensitivity to gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and several other- ut not all—grains. Affected children are unable to absorb fats, certain starches, and some sugars. 

Lactose intolerance is the malabsorption of the milk sugar lactose due to a decrease in, or absence of the enzyme lactase, which results In characteristic clinical symptoms (abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, flatulence). Three types of lactose intolerance are known ...
