Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 , The other test is a urine test that measure xylose. I found info on xylose at http://www.innvista.com/health/nutrition/essensug/xylose.htm At 05:21 PM 2/16/2006, Barella wrote: >Sharon, >Just got back from Stanford in December and met with Dr. Gray and Dr. >Plye there to have another biopsy.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 Yes, I did that one too. But the fecal fat (as YUCKY as it was) was less painless. The xylose requires sitting at the Lab for 5 hours and peeing and giving blood (without eating the night before). I am not good on 20 hour fasts!
