Abstract:
The most important of the genetically determined causes of carbohydrate malabsorption, lactase deficiency, affects the majority of the world's adults. Management of carbohydrate malabsorption consists of temporary or permanent removal of the offending sugar from the patient's diet or providing the sugar in a more digestible form.
