Mannitol and Lactulose. The presence of Lactulose in the urine shows the presence of a leaky gut condition. The presence of absense of Mannitol in the urine indicates a Malabsorption condition is present.)
Additional Tests • Lower GI is a barium enema. This gives an xray picture of the lower intestine to rule out grows, ulcerative craters, abnormal narrowing. • Colonoscopy is direct visual inspection of the large intestine.
