Brief summary: S09A is a Phase 4, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study examining the efficacy and safety of a Sucraid (sacrosidase) Oral Solution in comparison to a placebo in 150-200 subjects with chronic diarrhea possibly attributable to sucrase deficiency.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Subject is 16 years of age or older.
