Description

Do you seem to react to any kind of carbohydrate? The low FODMAP diet doesn’t eliminate sucrose (table sugar), but for a small number of people, digesting certain types of sugar and starch might be part of their digestive problems. This week I'm talking about:

  • Carbohydrate digestion - how we break down sugars and what can go wrong
  • The role of the key important enzyme sucrose-isomaltase
  • Testing for sucrose-isomaltase deficiency
  • How a beneficial yeast supplement might help digest sugars
  • What foods are low in starch and sugars, and how does this differ from the low FODMAP diet?
