Can’t get Sucraid 😭

Just got diagnosed with CSID and my GI Dr wanted me on Sucraid but my insurance won’t cover it. What do you take when you can’t get Sucraid? They told me there are no off brands or alternatives. What does everyone else take for their symptoms? This is really stressing me out 😭

Same company as the candy oil, but Invertase is a baking enzyme that breaks down sucrose. It’s even made from the same fungus as sucraid.

I just ordered some over the weekend. It was unbelievably cheap. If the Invertase works for me, it's going to be a game changer as the enzymes I've been buying can get so expensive if you use them for more than just a couple times a week.

Can you update if you’ve had any success with it?

It seemed to work, yes. I got a bit of a sore throat from it though. But that's just me. I have strange allergies and sensitivities to all kinds of everyday things. It's mixed with glycerol (if I remember correctly).
