Glucose-galactose malabsorption is a rare disorder; only a few hundred cases have been identified worldwide. However, as many as 10 percent of the population may have a somewhat reduced capacity for glucose absorption without associated health problems. This condition may be a milder variation of glucose-galactose malabsorption. [2]
Lactose is a disaccharide sugar composed of galactose and glucose that is found in milk. Lactose can not be absorbed by the intestine and needs to be split in the small intestine into galactose and glucose by the enzyme called lactase; unabsorbed lactose can cause abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, gas, and nausea.

Glucose-galactose malabsorption occurs when the lining of the intestinal cells cannot take in glucose and galactose which prevents the use of those molecules in catabolism and anabolism. The disease has symptoms that consist of watery and/or acidic diarrhea which is the result of water retention in the intestinal lumen and osmotic loss created ...
Finally, three mannosyltransferases and three glucosyltransferases complete the LLO structure Glc3Man9GlcNAc2-PP-Dol using Dol-P-Man and Dol-P-glucose (Glc) as donors. There are five known defects: mannosyltransferase VI deficiency causes ALG3-CDG (CDG-Id) [19] mannosyltransferase VII/IX deficiency causes ALG9-CDG (CDG-IL) [20]
Since the diet is low in carbohydrates, the body gets little glucose, normally the main energy source. The fat in the diet is converted by the liver in ketone bodies, which causes a build up of ketones in the blood stream, called ketosis. Ketone bodies are transported across the blood-brain barrier by other means than the GLUT1 protein and thus ...
“Black beans are a great example of a single food that promotes heart health, blood sugar balance and even a stronger gut microbiome,” says Alyssa Simpson, RDN, CGN, CLT, an Arizona-based ...
E.g., Nitisinone prevents the formation of toxic metabolites for patients with Tyrosinemia Type I and enables normal growth and development in combination with a low-protein diet; Vitamins. E.g., thiamine supplementation benefits several types of disorders that cause lactic acidosis.
The FDA’s recent ban on Red Dye No. 3, set to take effect by 2027 for foods and 2028 for drugs, marks a significant step in addressing safety concerns over artificial food dyes in the U.S. food ...
