Hi,

In trying to determine the continuing cause of my wife's chronic
diarrhea, cramping, etc. she's undergone a d'zylose test to determine
sugar absorption and had a terrible time almost immediately after
drinking the d'zylose--very bad cramping and diarrhea which lasted for
hours. She's had the saem problem with barium during CT belly scans.
Now she's due to take a breath test to determine small intestine
overgrowth using a lactulose drink. Anyone know whether she's likely
to have the same bad reaction she had to the d-zylose with lactulose?

Thanks,
Mike

Pure sugar exacerbates diarrhoea, increases stomach acid and increases
fermentation in the gut, resulting in cramping and urgency to go. Reflux
might occur due to the increased gas in the gut.

Lactulose is a laxative so will result in very bad cramping and pains, and
the need to have unhindered access to a toilet.

Perhaps, you mean the sugar lactose - lactose intolerance test. If she has
severe diarrhoea and cramping already then it is very likely that she will
have the same reaction with lactose obviously, more so if she is lactose
intolerant. If she is lactose intolerant she will have to stop drinking milk
and test whether or not she can eat small amounts of certain cheeses (the
harder cheeses have less lactose than the soft cheeses). Yoghurt and other
fermented drinks have little lactose in them.

The diagnostic stage is a very unhinging experience. I wish her all the best
and hope that the diagnosis reveals a condition that is curable and that she
doesn't land here. However, if she does, she will be looked after here
should she wish to contact us.
