scot/irish and swedish
Hubby is Hungarian....so the kids have quite a mix!
I wonder which ethnicities have the higher incidence of IBS? I'm not sure, but I'll bet type O blood does!

Oh......I was thinking that those with IBS probably had more problems with grains.....but I hadn't thought of the red meat......something we O's are probably good at digesting! (if you believe in the paleo-type diet notion). Maybe IBS is a non-discriminator!

My Dad's dad's side is English. My Dad's mother's side is questionable--probably also English--although my grandmother swears there's a bit of Indian in there somewhere. My mother's father's side is Cherokee and something unknown (not sure where my grandfather's grandfather came from or went to--they joke about him being on the run with an assumed name) and something Scottish (although to get to Scotland you have to go back before the Revolutionary War). So I guess I'm mostly watered-down English. I'm light-haired and fair-skinned but have very dark brown eyes, don't burn easily, have almost no freckles on my nose and none anywhere else and have a strong chin (something I noticed a lot of English people lack, no offense). I guess I ended up with the best of both worlds. Except the gall bladder thing. My surgeon said that gall bladder disease was especially prevelant among Native Americans and their mixed descendants.

i am A- and Polish and Irish, and more Polish...
i was told the Irish have the market cornered on Celiac...

what would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail?

Hi,

I don't normally post here because I have Fibromyalgia on top of the IBS so I usually post there, but I love to talk about my heritage so I decided to chime in. I am Native American, French or Irish and West Indian and that is just on my dad's side. Native American on my mom's.

Wow, another A-. I thought it was super rare. Maybe GI problems are common to us. ???

Both my parents were born in Hungary so my blood line is 100% Hungarian regardless of the fact that I was born in Canada...all my relatives on both parents side are Hungarian as far back as Hungarians go.

I have crohns disease and suspected by my GI as also having IBS, my mom has ulcertive colitis and one of my sisters was just DX with also having IBS-C alternating-D. I'm lactose intolerant as well, and many of my neices are too.

take care
