A good book to read which I wished I had read bfore my c-section, is "Silent
Knife"
Sugar in stool is usually a reducing substances test-sugars are these, but
not the only ones. I wonder how the doc did the test in the office? as it is
a complicated sort of test-a little chemistry experiment, so to speak, when
we do it in the lab. The sugars can be there transiently from an illness,
etc, as well. Other reducing substances could poss interfere. It is similar
to the urine test tablet that diabetics used to use,i.e. Clinitest, same
principle, before the home kits for blood glucose were developed.
