Use of the Biphasic 13C-Sucrose/Glucose Breath Test to Assess Sucrose Maldigestion in Adults with Functional Bowel Disorders

Figure 3

Between-group comparisons of biphasic 13C-sucrose/13C-glucose breath test data obtained from symptomatic patients with FBD and asymptomatic adult control subjects. Patients with FBD demonstrated decreased coefficient of glucose oxidation values for 13C-sucrose at 60-, 75-, and mean 60–75-minute time points when compared with asymptomatic controls.
