That is correct. When Chloe's bile acids tested high (they were still rather low even though they were higher than what is normal), I learned a lot about it. The parents can be carriers and not have the problems themselves. Also, there is a lot of debate over whether it has a lot to do with diet and environment. Who is to say for sure.
We had Chloe tested because she wasn't eating well at all, and that is one of the symtoms. But since she started eating better, and has never shown any other signs, we decided to hold off on any further tests. I will be getting her tested again soon to see if there is a change in her BAT numbers.
