Why we're here

Awareness is where
change begins.

The CSID Collective is an independent awareness and advocacy initiative dedicated to connecting families, increasing understanding, and inspiring meaningful change for those affected by Congenital Sucrase-Isomaltase Deficiency.

01 / TOGETHER

Community

Creating a welcoming space where individuals, families, and caregivers feel seen, heard, and connected.

02 / UNDERSTANDING

Education

Making CSID easier to understand and helping families, educators, and healthcare professionals access clear information.

03 / MEANINGFUL CHANGE

Advocacy

Amplifying voices and supporting progress toward better recognition, care, and access to treatment.

Every family deserves to feel heard. Every diagnosis deserves to be understood.
Our vision

More than awareness.

CSID affects everyday moments that others may take for granted. We believe understanding those experiences is the first step toward making life better for the people living them.

Our goal is to bring people together, share trustworthy education, and help build a future where individuals with CSID receive the recognition and support they deserve.

Growing our resource library

Understanding starts here.

We're developing approachable educational resources for both families and the people who support them.

For individuals & families
