I thought this was important for all parents on this forum to know about so I am starting a new thread about it.
As some of you may know. My middle daughter was diagnosed as having Congenital Sucrose/Maltose/lactose Intestinal Deficiency.
She was diagnosed through biopsies during a colonoscopy.
Well after much reading and research I discovered that these deficiencies may not be from a congenital reason but can actually be can actually also be caused by damage to the intestines from IBD.
This can explain why some kids with IBD improve in their symptoms significantly when changing to a diet such a SCD.
(Though the thing to be leery of is that even though symptoms are improving is the actual inflammation improving?)
Anyway this leaves me with two thoughts,
One I think it wouldn't hurt to ask your GI doc to test your child for this during their next scope.
And two,
For me does my daughter who was diagnosed with the congenital form of this really have IBD?
Oh and if your child does get diagnosed there is a supplement they can take which helps with symptoms, it is called Sucraid.
Here is the link to the article,
It mentions IBD further in,
