Sucrose: what it is, how it shows up, and which foods to be careful with.
What is it?
Sucrose intolerance (congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency, CSID) is the inability to break down sucrose (table sugar) and starches. Symptoms appear within 2 hours of eating sugar: bloating, watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps. Affects both children and adults — often underdiagnosed and confused with IBS. Hidden sources: sweet drinks, candy, cakes, fruit juices, many processed foods, plus all starches in CSID.
