Сhildren, lactose intolerance, fructose intolerance, sorbitol malabsorption, hydrogen breath tests, carbohydrates malabsorptionAbstract
Food intolerance is one of the problems that pediatricians most often face in their practice. The main place in the structure of this pathology is occupied by malabsorption of carbohydrates - a group of diseases caused by impaired breakdown and / or absoMetrics
