Question 2

Been noticing that my stool has whole chunks of watermelon, tomatoes, and carrots in it for the past couple of days. Just got over a cold and was taking Cefixine as prescribed by my doctor.

Question 3

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?

Accepted Answer

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.
