d-xylose absorption depends on intact mucosa only ...it doesnt need any ezymatic digestion.
but ..i guess that in whipple there is mucosal affection....isnt???
to eagle .....in malabsorpion there is increased fecal fat ....i guess u need just to reread the q.
The stem question says:
24 hour stool collection shows reveal fecal fat of 10 mg/d
The quantity of fecal fat is so low that it practically rules out malabsorption.
Is not so ?

How can you assume on your own that it is 10g instead of clear 10mg when the author did not correct it

For your reference.
D-xylose absorption test:
This test measures the intestine's ability to absorb the simple sugar, D-xylose. This is an indicator for whether or not nutrients are being absorbed properly in the intestine. This test is often used to evaluate persistent diarrhoea, weight loss, malnutrition and cases of suspected malabsorption. Abnormal results may be seen in the following conditions: Crohn's disease, Giardiasis, hookworm infestation, radiation enteritis, celiac sprue, viral gastroenteritis and Whipple's disease.

don't you think that it might be fat malabsorbtion with normal sugars absorbtion in Crohn's, and fat and sugars mal in Whipple's? Or it's analysis paralysis?
