Imagine you are hosting a community talk for the public on the basics of nutrigenomics:
Question 1: One individual tells you that they are heterozygous for the MCM6 gene. The client reports no stomach upset upon consumption of dairy of any kind. The individual is confused - how can this be? Please clarify for them.
Question 2: Another individual raises their hand and says their healthcare provider recommended they avoid dairy after they reported gas and bloating after consuming dairy products. However, the individual mentions that she is confused because her IgG food sensitivity testing showed no reaction to dairy. How might you explain the difference to her between lactase persistence and dairy sensitivities?
