great question! My father is Jewish with family descending from Poland, Germany, Hungary and Czecoslovakia (all the borders were changing during the world wars so lets just say eastern europe!) and my dad was born in Israel (his parents got out of europe just before Hitler killed them) before the State was created!
My mother is pure pure Irish, for many generations. She converted to Judaism so I am a real mongrel!!! I look very irish, but as I get older am starting to resemble my dad more.
My parents and three brothers have perfect bowels, I am a real black sheep with this, though I recently found out that my fathers mother had IBS A (like me) and she was an ashkenazic Jew, so go figure. Shame I can't talk to her since she died ages ago, but apparently she would have never discussed it...lots of people just suffered in silence with these problems. Poor thing. My aunt told me that my grandma always had C and then took a lot of senna leaf and was never the same again (turned into terrible A)...it was quite reassuring to find out recently that it could have been my grandma that passed this to me...I felt less alone.

Feel the fear and do it anyway!
