A member asked:
Many of members in my family had peptic cancer. last two weeks im having dysentry. but infrequent. are they related by any chance?

Unlikely: Peptic ulcers some times do run in the families as they are all exposed to same environment, food habits, stomach infections etc. You have to see your doctor to find out the cause of your dysentery.
