constipation), considerable overlap exists and these conditions are thought to exist on a continuum. T/F -

Re-testing lactose tolerance may be worthwhile as lactose tolerance can change over time, especially if
lactose intolerance has occurred as a result of damage to the intestinal epithelium (due to untreated
coeliac disease or intestinal inflammation) T/F - ✔✔True

fructose diet. T/F - ✔✔False
