 Analyzes
urine for the clearance of two non-metabolized
sugars, lactulose and mannitol. Identifies "leaky
gut" and malabsorption.
Leaky gut can be caused by Candida.
NSAIDS, Inflammation, Medicines, and
poor digestion. It can lead to food
allergies, gads, bloating and numerous
symptoms associated with these.

The
small intestine has the paradoxical dual function
of being a digestive/ absorptive organ for nutrients
as well as a powerful barrier against the excessive
absorption of bacteria, food antigens and large
molecules. Increased permeability of the intestinal
mucosal barrier can swell the number of toxins & antigens
entering the bloodstream and lead to an overly
sensitized immune system in some individuals. Decreased
permeability, on the other hand, appears as a fundamental
cause of malnutrition, malabsorption and failure
to thrive. A number of clinical disorders are associated
with both conditions.
The
Intestinal Permeability Assessmentby Doctor’s
Data, Inc. directly measures the ability of two nonmetabolized
sugar molecules –mannitol and lactulose–to
permeate the intestinal mucosa. Mannitol is
easily absorbed and serves as a marker of transcellular
uptake, while lactulose is only slightly absorbed
and serves as a marker for mucosal integrity.
To perform the test, the patient mixes premeasured
amounts of lactulose and mannitol and drinks
the challenge substance. The test measures
the amount of lactulose and mannitol recovered
in a urine sample over the next 6 hours.
