PG - 1060-3 AB - Six lactose absorbers (LA) and 5 lactose malabsorbers (LM) had tests of gastric emptying with 750-ml meals of glucose in water, lactose in water, plain milk, and chocolate milk. The glucose and lactose meals emptied in a similar fashion in LA and LM subjects with a significant decrease in gastric emptying as the osmolarity of the meals was doubled. If the data are normalized by dividing lactose emptying by the emptying of glucose meals of twice the osmolality in each individual, the lactose malabsorbers empty significantly more lactose. Both LA and LM subjects emptied comparable amounts of milk meals having similar osmolarity. Chocolate milk, which had a higher osmolality than plain milk, emptied more slowly than plain milk in both groups, and this difference was significant in the LM group.
