for those interested, here are our original studies on the genetics of sucrase-isomaltase deficiency in IBS, including lookup in #lowFODMAP treated patients.
gut.bmj.com
Recently in Gut and elsewhere,1–3 rare and common hypomorphic sucrase-isomaltase ( SI ) gene variants have been linked to an increased risk of IBS. Similar to congenital SI deficiency (a form of...

our latest work shows sucrase (and not isomaltase) drives genetic risk of #carbohydrate maldigestion. is sugar a culprit causing bowel symptoms?. potential to design personalised carb-focused diets for #IBS prevention and treatment.

thans @JohannahRuddy for highlighting our work.based on this and previous work, CAZyme genotype might turn out to be useful info both for the diagnosis and treatment of a subset of #IBS patients experiencing symptoms because of carbs maldigestion.
