Commonality for multiple symptons

My grandkids, ages 13, 9(girls) & 9(boy) are "always" getting sick or having something injured or broken.  I am looking for some commonality among all the events.

They regularly get sick with upset stomach, colds, strep, headaches, coughs, runny noses, leg and knee pain, and probably a few other events.  In addition each has broken one or more bones in the past year.

They appear to eat right - lots of milk, meat, cereals, fruit, and vegetables.  They are extremely active both in and out of school.  They play soccer, basketball, and baseball. They scateboard, snow ski, and in general, run around the yard a lot.

Their mother, my daighter, tells me that her kids get sick less than other kids. I have no way of telling.

What could be the cause?  Could mold in the house be a culprit?

Thanks.

Hi Joe before i read your last sentance the first thing that popped in my mind was enviorment,,,yes mold...dust mites,,any number of things,,toxins in the soil the list is endless..but you need to hire someone to inspect the house for toxins and figure it out...good luck...let me know what you find out.....also do you live near any high pollution factories or do you have alot of high wire power lines above ground near kids home.

other possibility ( not for the broken bones but rest) siblings often have common allergies..if enviorment checks ou Id have them all tested for food and common household grass/ weed / tree/dog/ cat allergies.
