In this episode of Journal Club, we review:
Sucrose intolerance in adults with common functional gastrointestinal symptoms by Frissora, C.L. & Rao, S.S.C
Sneak Peek of the Content
In this 1-hour conversation, we dive into a chart review that explores an often overlooked cause of bloating, gas, cramping, and post-meal diarrhea - sucrose intolerance - and how it may mimic IBS.
Why this matters:
- Sucrose intolerance is more common than you think - and often misdiagnosed as IBS.
- Breath testing (hydrogen-methane or C-sucrose) can be a helpful tool in teasing apart the root cause of bloating, gas, cramping, and post-meal diarrhea - but access to this testing isn’t always available or widely offered. We’ll chat about other ways to identify possible sucrose intolerance instead.
- Targeted nutrition counseling and enzyme therapy can lead to meaningful symptom relief.
Most of us have had a client who just doesn’t seem to respond to the usual IBS strategies. Could sucrose intolerance be a missing piece in your complex digestive health cases? This article invites us to consider whether it's something worth adding to our toolbox - especially when the usual IBS strategies fall short.
