I've been having some stomach pain and my doctor did an endoscopy. He mentioned something about an h pylari or h capitalliary infection. I'm on this Sompraz hp kit now, but since I started taking it, I've been having really loose stools and feel like I can't control it. Is this normal? What should I do?

Given the blood groups you mentioned:

• Mother (O+)
• Father (B+)
• Child (A+)

It is theoretically possible for the child to have the A+ blood group, as the ABO blood group system is controlled by multiple genes. However, it's essential to explore this further.

To discuss this topic, consider consulting:

1. Geneticist: A specialist in genetics and heredity.
2. Medical Geneticist: A medical doctor specializing in genetics and genomics.

Regarding DNA testing, you can ask for a:

1. Parentage Test: Also known as a Paternity Test or DNA Paternity Test.
2. DNA Profiling: A test that analyzes specific DNA markers to determine biological relationships.

Some common DNA tests used for parentage testing include:

1. Short Tandem Repeat (STR) Testing: Analyzes specific DNA markers.
2. Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) Testing: Amplifies specific DNA sequences.

Before proceeding, consider the emotional implications of DNA testing and discuss them with your family and a genetic counselor if needed.
