I would ask for any genes that affect metabolism of proteins, any affecting digestion...my daughter in law is a form of PKU...phenyl ketonurea. All babies are checked at birth. But hers is of that but not as bad as the newborns. There are different types. Occurs /or is noticed in the 20's she said The pancreas has different enzymes that can be checked (levels), stomach and the brain. If you can, Web MD is a good site to look up information that might help. I would have thought (although with my daughter-in-law was 10 yrs), they would have looked for a genetic component, especially today. No one in her family has this, that is is aware of but, that means nothing. Environment can change our DNA. If I come across anything I will post. It is frustrating.
My diagnoses sometimes also took years and when I went a doctor someone "referred" me to, I had an answer often in 5 min. Happened to me 3 times in my life for major things. I hope you get a good dr that listens to you and ask about genetic testing for digestive causes. They can be very serious and like I said she almost died 10 yrs ago. It could be any of the digestive organs that are not breaking down the food correctly and becoming toxic in your body. Make sure your enzyme levels have been checked as well as the digestive levels (hormones). perhaps they were. Hope you are having better days. Joan
What kinds of genetic markers should I ask my doctor about?
