You are being redirected to a publication describing a QOL Medical-sponsored study that characterizes a simple, at-home test to aid in the diagnosis of sucrase deficiency. This test is not a validated diagnostic to confirm sucrase deficiency and cannot differentiate congenital and acquired sucrase deficiency.
However, the test may be helpful in characterizing a patient’s response to sucrose ingestion. This response should be considered with a patient’s medical history and other diagnostics in considering whether a diagnosis of congenital sucrase-isomaltase deficiency is appropriate.
