Intolerances
- FODMAPsLow
Dextrose is glucose, and glucose is the one sugar this axis never counts. It is absorbed actively and completely in the small intestine whatever the dose - no transporter to saturate, no enzyme that might be missing, nothing left to ferment. It even helps: glucose carries fructose across the gut wall with it.
