What is REDUCING SUBSTANCE IN STOOL?

The Reducing Substance in Stool test detects the presence of reducing sugars in a stool sample. This test is primarily used to identify carbohydrate malabsorption, meaning your body isn't properly digesting certain sugars.

Why is this test important?

This test is crucial for diagnosing conditions like lactose intolerance or other carbohydrate malabsorption disorders, especially in infants and children experiencing chronic diarrhea, bloating, or failure to thrive. Early diagnosis helps in dietary management.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
