My daughter has been diagnosed with Tropical Sprue. She recently told us she was Gay - surprising as she is and identical twin DNA 99.99996 identical.and twin is happilly married. I just read that Tropical Sprue can interfere with testosterone. Could it interfere with oestrogen? Could this disease have an influence on her sexuality? Or is it totally unrelated?
