title: Combined lactose-D-xylose tolerance test in infancy.
abstract: A modified combined oral lactose-D-xylose tolerance test done on ten normal infants showed peak levels of blood glucose and D-xylose levels comparable to the peaks obtained when these tests were done separately in the same subjects. The combined test is recommended to evaluate digestive absorptive function in preference to two separate tolerance tests.
