The occurrence of abdominal symptoms is shown in Table
2. After consuming 100 g honey, 50 g honey, and the glucose fructose
mixture, 6, 3, and 0 of the 20 volunteers, respectively,
had a bowel movement (xı = 7.1, df = 2, P < 0.03). After the
ingestion of 100 g honey nine volunteers malabsorbed > 10g
carbohydrate (Figure 3). Six of these nine volunteers had an
OCT < 75 mm and a bowel movement within 10 h after they
had drunk the test solution. Five of these nine volunteers also
malabsorbed > 10g carbohydrate after ingestion of 50 g
honey, but only three had a bowel movement.
