[Specific carbohydrate malabsorption]
1Service d'hépato-gastro-entérologie Centre hospitalier Lyon-Sud 69495 Pierre-Bénite.
Abstract:
Specific malabsorption of carbohydrate is related to the lack or decrease in enzymatic activity needed for its hydrolysis; seldom, it is related to the lack or overloading in transport mechanism of monosaccharide. Ingestion of unabsorbed carbohydrate may induce digestive symptoms due to its colonic fermentation (borborygmus, bloating, pain, and flatus) or its osmotic activity (diarrhoea). In a patient consuming at least a bowl of milk per day and suffering of functional digestive symptoms, intolerance to lactose must be ruled out because its treatment is easy and efficient, i.e. to put fermented dairy products in place of milk.

After being swallowed, the partially digested carbohydrates mix with gastric secretions in the stomach. However, the acidic environment...
Glucose Transporters
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:

Glucose Absorption Into the Small Intestine
Carbohydrate Metabolism
Starch accounts for approximately 60% of the carbohydrates consumed by humans. Since amylase enzymes cannot function in the stomach's acidic environment, starch can only be digested in the mouth and small intestine. Simple sugars are found naturally in milk and fruits in the...
