Jews and IBS-- Hey; This Is a Jew With IBS Talking

"27 The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods * , and with the scab,and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed ." (D'varim 28:27, KJV)

Several gene mutations leading to an increased risk of colorectal cancer have been found in this group. The most common of these DNA changes, called the I1307K APC mutation, is present in about 6% of American Jews." Other proof that Ashkenazic Jews have even the highest risk and rate of colon cancer So what's the point? The point is that besides the scientific evidence, I have individual-case evidence to prove  D'varim 28:27-- I have personally experienced D'varim 28:27. I have IBS, my dad Chron's, and my granddad colon cancer (which caused 18 inches of his colon to be removed and is, as far as I know, in remission). Therefore, the ultimate point is that I can tell you both on a personal level and on an amateur-scholar level that if nothing else, even mainly-Darwinian science "with the emerods" proves Tanakh.
