Because of the traditional "nonmilking" attitude in Vietnam, a high incidence of lactose malabsorption would be expected in Vietnamese. However, confirming data are not available, and for this reason 31 adult Vietnamese were studied by obtaining diet histories and performing oral lactose tolerance tests. Twenty-three had drunk from one glass of milk a month to three glasses a day as adutls in Vietnam, and eight had noted milk-related symptoms. Since arrival in the United States, 30 had drunk milk and six had experienced symptoms. All 31 adult Vietnamese tested had flat lactose tolerance tests, signifying lactose malabsorption, with 20 subjects having symptoms during or after the tests.

The tubeless for diagnosing exocrine pancreatic insufficiency using Fluorescein-Dilaurate was first applied to children of three years and younger, and to children with malabsorption and/or maldigestion. Fluorescein-Dilaurate in this test is an indication for the excretion of the pancreas-specific arylesterases. The dosage and the amount of liquid to be drunk by adults were reduced. It was shown that - applied to children of more than three years- reliability and validity of the test were not perceptibly influenced by the practise modifications and by the existing malabsorption/maldigestion. The applicability of this method to children of three years and younger depends on the observance of certain rules. Thereby, the test becomes sufficiently practicable also in children of three years and younger.
