Mannitol and Lactulose. The presence of Lactulose in the urine shows the presence of a leaky gut condition. The presence of absense of Mannitol in the urine indicates a Malabsorption condition is present.)

Additional Tests  Lower GI is a barium enema. This gives an xray picture of the lower intestine to rule out grows, ulcerative craters, abnormal narrowing.  Colonoscopy is direct visual inspection of the large intestine. One can see inflammation, diverticuli, growths such as benign of malignent polyps or cancers etc., and take biopsies if indicated  Stool hemocult or guiac detects the presence of blood on a stool swab.
