I have 3 kids, ages 25, 20, and 18. My 25 year old has an uneasy tummy alot, and my 20 year old has had quite a bit of D issues. The 18 year old has a tummy of iron so far.

I Dream In Color,

When I got sick I had my son (9 at the time) and husband tested through Enterolab. My son had terrible constipation with occasional explosive diarrhea and was colicky/reflux as an infant. He was positive for both gluten and casein sensitivity so he follows a GF/DF diet. We also did MRT test and he is sensitive to corn and a few fruits. He used to have a fine rash on his face and arms (eczema??) and asthma. Now he has no rash, asthma and normal stools.

Sounds like your children do have some symptoms. Are they willing to address diet?

Not yet, AFAIK. However, someone at EnteroLab said that DD#1's depression could be from gluten. I'm not sure if I told her it was SAD, though.

DD#1 just sent in her EL genetic test that I had sent to her a least a month ago. (We'll give one to DD#2 also.) I mainly want them to avoid the known triggers like the Zoloft the older one takes and the aspirin the younger one uses all the time.....

I have 2 adult children. So far neither has been tested or believes they have a problem.

1 grandson with definite lactose intolerance. (my son's boy)

1 grandson (daughter's boy) that (in my opinion) is likely a candidate for MC but just a feeling on my part. C then D afterward. I'm sure neither he or parents would entertain the thought.

Not sure about my granddaughter (daughter's also).

That was always my pattern.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
