wish they were not only looking at HLAB27.

i've had GI issues since I was young (very young....I remember problems from before I was in school, mom says it was since i was born) and then joint issues entered the picture in my mid 30s.

Spondyloarthropathies run in my family.

We may not be HLAB27 positive, but we definitely have some gene causing this and it all starts in the gut for us.

Great grandfather died from stomach cancer, grandmother, mother, etc have all had ulcers, i've had the gastritis and intestinal inflammation and symptoms. Less talk about bowel issues, but I know mom has had the same issues as me, just the constipation, not the diarrhea / not digesting food part, as far as I know, but not something she likes to talk about.

can only assume its the gut microbiome that has caused all these problems from the time I was young....that and genes.....

well, the HLAB27 is a start.
