Standard sugar test solution is used to determine permeability throughout the GI tract. Gastric absorption of sucrose occurs between 0–3 h after solution ingestion. Lactulose is absorbed in the small intestine between 3–5 h and mannitol is used to standardize surface area. Colonic permeability is typically assessed by sucralose excretion ≥ 5 h.
