Dextrose is just the biological form of glucose which is the basic sugar molecule that our bodies rely on as a primary energy source. Anyone who can't digest dextrose would presumably not survive. Maltodextrin is closely related but consists of a chain of dextrose molecules chemically bonded together. To digest it the body normally uses an enzyme to break the chain apart. But some individuals lack the correct enzyme and that can lead to various health issues.
