الوصف
Carbohydrate malabsorption is a major cause of the watery diarrhoea and electrolyte imbalance seen in patients with short bowel syndrome. As a result of bacterial fermentation, the stool becomes acidic with a high concentration of lactic acid. The pH measurement reflects this process. The unabsorbed sugars are measured as reducing substances.
