Lactose Maldigestion in Breast‐Feeding Gambian Infants

Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, 1997
Background:The ability of breast‐feeding infants to utilize lactose, the major carbohydrate in breast‐milk, is dependent on the presence of the enzyme lactase (E.C.3.2.1.108). Lactase is located in the brush border of the small intestine and because of its exposed position it is extremely vulnerable to pathogenic damage. Breast‐fed Gambian infants have

Lack of Pancreatic Maldigestion in Atopic Dermatitis

Dermatology, 1991
Twenty adult patients affected by atopic dermatitis (AD) were submitted to the <i>p</i>-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) test in order to evaluate the proteolytic pancreatic function. All but one showed a normal PABA test. These results seem to exclude a proteolytic maldigestion as a pathogenetic factor in AD.

Demystifying Carbohydrate Maldigestion: A Clinical Review

American Journal of Gastroenterology
Carbohydrate intolerance is a poorly understood and potentially overlooked cause of unexplained gastrointestinal symptoms, particularly among patients with disorders of gut-brain interaction. Symptoms related to carbohydrate intolerance arise from bacterial fermentation of unabsorbed carbohydrates leading to increased gases and osmotic load within the ...

Improved Parameters of Lactose Maldigestion Using Lactulose

Digestive Diseases and Sciences, 2001
Lactulose is a disaccharide derived from lactose. There has been recent rekindling of interest in the possible benefits of pro- and prebiotics: mainly, lactic acid-producing bacteria and lactulose for the lower intestine. Since lactose maldigestion is a common genetic trait, we undertook this study to delineate similar effects between these two ...

Faecal analysis for maldigestion in pancreatectomised dogs

Research in Veterinary Science, 1983
Faecal analysis for protease activity and the presence of undigested/unabsorbed food particles was done for four consecutive days on four pancreatectomised dogs fed a commercial complete pet food (Pal). All dogs produced faeces of similar appearance. The stools were bulky, light red-brown, well formed but soft and had a slight rancid odour.

Diseases Producing Malabsorption and Maldigestion

DeckerMed Family Medicine, 2019
Malabsorption refers to the impaired intestinal absorption of nutrients. It can result from congenital defects in absorption and the transport of ions and nutrients, defects in hydrolysis within the intestinal lumen, acquired defects in the intestinal absorptive cells that line the surface of the intestine, impaired bile production, or interruption of ...

Entre intolérance au lactose et maldigestion

Cahiers de Nutrition et de Diététique, 2005
Resume Beaucoup d’adultes pensent etre « intolerants au lait et au lactose (principal sucre du lait) ». Ils consomment alors moins de calcium et s’exposent eux-memes a un risque accru de desordres osseux, notamment d’osteoporose. Le but de cette revue est de definir cette situation, d’en expliquer les mecanismes et d’en decrire la prise en charge ...

Lactose maldigestion in Ascaris-infected preschool children

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1984
Two studies were conducted to investigate the contribution of Ascaris lumbricoides to lactose maldigestion in preschool children in two different communities in Panama where milk is available as a source of nutrients and the prevalence of Ascaris is known to be high.

The clinical significance of disaccharide maldigestion

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1994
The prevalence of lactose maldigestion is lowest in Scandinavia and Northwest Europe (3-8%) and close to 100% in most of Southeast Asia. In Europe the frequency increases in the southern and eastern directions, reaching 70% in southern Italy and Turkey.

Malassimilationssyndrom (Maldigestion — Malabsorption)

1983
Unter Maldigestionssyndrom versteht man eine Storung der Verdauungsfunktion als Folge einer Krankheit oder Anomalie, bei der durch eine angeborene oder erworbene Erkrankung die Aktivitat pankreatischer Verdauungsenzyme, die Gallensaurenkonzentration oder die Aktivitaten digestiver Dunndarmmuko-saenzyme erniedrigt sind oder fehlen.
