Sucrose and lactose are called disaccharides because they are made from two simple sugars, and are broken down into these simple sugars during digestion. Sucrose is broken down into glucose and another simple sugar called fructose, and lactose is broken down into glucose and galactose. As a result, lactose, sucrose and other compounds made from ...
Sucrose intolerance or genetic sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (GSID) is the condition in which sucrase-isomaltase, an enzyme needed for proper metabolism of sucrose (sugar) and starch (e.g., grains), is not produced or the enzyme produced is either partially functional or non-functional in the small intestine.
Research shows that consuming too much added sugar can cause inflammation. We talked to experts to understand why and how sugar-related inflammation happens.
Too much added sugar in the diet can overwhelm cells and slow down the activities inside them, causing 'traffic jams' that can lead to chronic disease, according to new research. What they found
Lactose is a disaccharide sugar composed of galactose and glucose that is found in milk. Lactose can not be absorbed by the intestine and needs to be split in the small intestine into galactose and glucose by the enzyme called lactase; unabsorbed lactose can cause abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea, gas, and nausea.

Children whose parents keep them off sugar during their first two years of life have lower rates of diabetes and high blood pressure for the rest of their lives, a new study has found. That ...
Osmotic diarrhea, distension of the small bowel leading to crampy abdominal pain, and reduced blood volume can result. Late dumping syndrome occurs 2 to 3 hours after a meal. It results from excessive movement of sugar into the intestine, which raises the body's blood glucose level and causes the pancreas to increase its release of the hormone ...
Secondary constipation, which is due to another cause, such as chronic conditions, like Type 2 diabetes, poor dietary choices or neurological conditions that may impact intestinal motility
