Carbohydrate intolerance other than lactose – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/2051872535

Carbohydrate intolerance is the inability to digest certain carbohydrate into a source of energy for the body, usually because of the deficiency of an enzyme needed for digestion. Other than lactose intolerance, which is the commonest form, there are several kinds of intolerance, such as intolerance to sucrose or fructose.
