Sucrose intolerance, also called Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency (CSID)[1] or Sucrase-isomaltase deficiency,[2] is the condition in which sucrase, an enzyme needed for proper metabolization of sucrose, is not produced in the small intestine.
It is more common among the Inupiat.[3]
The result of consuming sucrose is excess gas production and often diarrhea and malabsorption.
