Absolutely! June 2019. It changed my life! Last cavity! Last deep cleaning of gums! Last morning soft stools and regaining of fecal control. Motility normalized. It was having IBS problems at the time. it was like I fell off a cliff. I landed on the FODMAP diet (also a life changer - https://www.monashfodmap.com/about-fodmap-and-ibs/) and paired my DNA with a company who matches genetics with known research. Turns out I inherited Lactose intolerance (there is only ONE gene which is passed and I got it from both parents) and there was four pages of gluten problems. Its worth the change. Besides being lactose intolerant (which is MORE than just food - it is your medications too!) I turned out to be casein intolerant! so now I stick to more goat and cheese. There is a wonderful market I particularly shop at, which sells all kinds of great products I enjoy! The Middle East markets cater to those with these kinds of intolerances. Make the change. It's not easy and took me a couple of years in total but my health was much better because of it! If you aren't sure, test your DNA. There is NO going back if you have the gene mutation. didn't bother me when I was young, but when I got to sixty, I was screwed (as they say!). Everything all at once. I keep Lactaid pills with me that solve the inconvenient problem of lactose when I least expect it or when I crave for it. Research recipes and such. Its a whole new world. I do NOT feel deprived. I ended up eating like my Mediterranean family because they are all intolerant too. I love the food!

@loriesco Interesting info! Where do you go to get the gene testing for this?

Thanks

@loriesco What DNA company and Genetics did you use?
