Reply to "What Are The Chances Our Children Get IBD?"

jeaneMember

I had UC and my dad had it too. My sister does not. My dad's niece also has GI issues and she is getting diagnosed now. He also has five other nieces by blood with no GI issues. No one has given me statistics but I did give blood at Yale the other day for genetic testing as they are finally learning there is a definite genetic link with crohns and colitis. . I have two children who are 19 and 22. So far, by the grace of God, neither have been diagnosed with IBD.
