Abstract

The absorption of xylose following an oral load of 15 g D-xylose was studied by serial blood levels in 17 untreated adult celiac patients, 21 treated celiac patients, and 30 nonceliac patients. A statistically significant difference in xylose blood levels was found between untreated celiac and nonceliac patients at all the times studied, but a complete separation between these 2 groups occurred only at the 75 min stage. The reproducibility of absorption was assessed by repeating the test in 16 subjects. The 95% confidence limits of the standard error of estimate are narrowest at 75 and 90 min.
