Eating With Your Proper Blood Type, What Do You Think?

I eat the same thing every day with barely any modifications and I was thinking that to maximize the results of going Gluten-Free I should combine this with eating right for my blood type but it seems as doing this while avoiding gluten is just incredibly challenging. Some stuff going as far as coconut oil being bad for anyone but some things really make sense. I am of type O and it warn a lot about avoiding glutens and grains even corn. Now I though I was going good with cereal and bread being gluten-free but with this it's like all I can eat is meat and more meat and some fruits.

 

Pretty boring, gotta avoid coffee too, that one thing that actually make me feel really good.

 

I can eat almonds but I have to avoid peanuts? Makes no sense to me nuts are nuts and it says to avoid nightshade yet tomatoes are ok. Gets me confused a lot, what do you guys think?

We have had this discussion before and everyone with Celiac has different blood types and needs to avoid gluten. Not just the ones with whichever blood type it is.

There is no scientific evidence for this blood type eating.

I've been told by a homoepatic doctor to eat following my blood type. While I'm willing to give it a try in my own home for several reasons that I'm explaining in another post, I'm not going to subject to new difficulties all my patient friends who had to learn how to feed me gluten free. Nor will I skip meals in restaurants for this. I mean: I'm B and I'm supposed to keep free of buckwheat AND corn, apart from peanuts and walnuts and mussels AND chicken AND tomatoes AND anything coming from cow milk. I can deal with the rest, but baking without corn bread and buckwheat is going to be a real challenge. Especially since they apparently do NOT trouble me at all. Life is difficult enough already. I'm cutting out on these red flags foods for a couple of months and I'll see how it goes but no way I can tell my friends "uh, apart from no milk and no gluten I'll give you a NEW list of prohibited foods because I know how you love a challenge..." :-D

Does this mean that I can only eat with people that have type O blood? :huh:

My doc suggested I try this diet years ago when the book was first published.  He loved to have his patients try things out and report back to him.  He also like prescribing two different meds for the same issue within our family to see which one worked best. 

 

But I didn't do it.  Instead, I went on a candida and food allergy/intolerance rotational diet that really helped.  Basically, the "Eat Right for Your Blood Type" is like other diets.  Eat simple foods (fruit, veggies and proteins) and cut out junk food.  Also, don't eat the same old things day in and day out!  Hit the Eastern Markets and try some new veggies!

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies.  She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses.  She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid.  The test was a failure.  The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies were being made.  Your daughter is not making all different kinds of antibodies, so the test results are moot.  Your daughter should have the DGP IgG and TTG IgG tests done.   The tests should be performed while she is still consuming gluten.  Stopping and restarting a gluten containing diet can make her more sick, just like you refuse to eat gluten for testing.  Call the doctor's office, request both the IGG tests. Request to be put on the cancellation list for an appointment sooner.  Ask for genetic testing.   Celiac disease is passed on from parents to children.  You and all seven children should be tested for genes for Celiac disease.  Your parents, your siblings and their children should be tested as well.  Eating gluten is not required for genetic testing because your genes don't change.  Genetic testing is not a diagnosis of Celiac disease.  Just having the genes means there is the potential of developing Celiac disease if the Celiac genes are activated.  Genetic testing helps us decide if the Celiac genes are activated when coupled with physical symptoms, antibody testing, and biopsy examination. It's frustrating when doctors get it wrong and we suffer for it.  Hang in there.  You're a good mom for pursuing this!

      @hjayne19, So glad you found the information helpful.  I know how difficult my struggle with anxiety has been.  I've been finding things that helped me and sharing that with others makes my journey worthwhile. I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  It contains the easily activated forms of B vitamins needed by people with the MTHFR genetic variation often found with Celiac disease.   Avoid B Complex vitamins if they contain Thiamine Mononitrate if possible.  (Read the ingredients listing.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is the "shelf-stable" form of B 1 that the body can't utilize.  B vitamins breakdown when exposed to heat and light, and over time.  So "shelf-stable" forms won't breakdown sitting on a shelf in a bright store waiting to be bought.  (It's also very cheap.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is so shelf-stable that the body only absorbs about thirty percent of it, and less than that is utilized.  It takes thiamine already in the body to turn Thiamine Mononitrate into an active form.   I take MegaBenfotiamine by Life Extension.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing, neuropathy, brain function, glycemic control, and athletic performance.   I take TTFD-B1 Max by Maxlife Naturals, Ecological Formulas Allthiamine (TTFD), or Thiamax by EO Nutrition.  Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD for short) gets into the brain and makes a huge difference with the anxiety and getting the brain off the hamster wheel.  Especially when taken with Magnesium Threonate.   Any form of Thiamine needs Magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes and energy.  I like NeuroMag by Life Extension.  It contains Magnesium Threonate, a form of magnesium that easily crosses the blood brain barrier.  My brain felt like it gave a huge sigh of relief and relaxed when I started taking this and still makes a difference daily.   Other brands of supplements i like are Now Foods, Amazing Formulas, Doctor's Best, Nature's Way, Best Naturals, Thorne, EO Nutrition. Naturewise.  But I do read the ingredients labels all the time just to be sure they are gluten and dairy free. Glad to help with further questions.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen!   Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run without also running a TTG-IGA. Total IGA tests for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient, then the celiac-specific IGA tests like the TTG-IGA will be inaccurate. Was this the only IGA test that was run? To answer, your question, yes, a positive biopsy is normally definitive for celiac disease but there are some other medical conditions, some medications and even some food proteins in rare cases that can cause positive biopsies. But it is pretty unlikely that it is due to anything other than celiac disease.

      Upper endoscopy last week resulted in positive biopsy for celiac disease. The IgA they ran was normal (114). Does positive biopsy automatically mean definitive diagnosis?

      This is great thank you very much @Scott Adams
