I have several issues that run in my family. I actually just completed the 23 and Me test (Google it). It showed other genetic mutations I knew nothing about. Have you heard of Epi-Genetics? For me, for example, since I know for sure diabetes runs in my family, why would I ever eat sugar or white flour? Basically Epi-Genetics they have found is whether or not that gene gets turned on, 90 plus percent of the time it is turned on by lifestyle choices.
Lifestyle is key here in these cases. If you know gastric issues run in your family, why ever eat processed foods that are bad for you? Make sense? Not that every person is to blame, my wife has teh MTHFR genetic mutation, she does not methylate 70% of the time. This is bad! Now we can supplement and help her. Good news. But she had no choice in lifestyle whether or not this one gets turned on or off. The main researcher/doctor in this puts it well, your genes are the hardware, your lifestyle though is the software that tells the hardware (your genes) what to do.
Do what ever you can to nurture your digestion, not hurt it. For you it is easily injured.
