I heard an interesting thing at the gluten-free store yesterday. I was wondering how many of us with celiac disease also have type O blood. I am O+ and the only one in my family, and also the only one with celiac disease. Hum.... wondering if there is a connection. If so, that would help a lot of others with diagnosis.

Yes, I believe O is the most common blood type but I am not sure on that.

i was also going to comment on O being the most common, so the theory of most people with celiac disease having O, b/c of the blood type itself wouldn't really be an accurate assumption...

Thanks for all the replies. Interesting still.

If you are visiting this question, PLEASE VOTE. I know it's not scientific, but still interesting to me.

I don't know which blood type is most common, but I do know that of the four most common ones, A, B, AB and O, type AB is the most rare type. These are only the four most common. There are actually other types out there. Type O is popular because it can be given as a blood transfusion to the other types.

controlled studies have not found a link between celiac disease diagnosis and blood type. perhaps they've missed something, but it doesn't look like it. but it's not that surprising that the genes for determining blood surface proteins are different than the genes for digestive enzymes.

I'm A+ - I joke it's the only A+ I've ever gotten (ok, 7th grade drafting class...)

I went on a kick with the blood type diet which helped me further learn of my gluten problem by educating me on the problems with wheat. I did identify other things as well that seem to be mild problem foods for me, such as garbanzo beans and some kinds of fish. I think the lectin issue is interesting - seems to have some semblence of science behind it but hasn't totally proved true for me.

Anyway, interesting poll.

My mother is A+ and diagnosed celiac. I don't know what blood type my son is. I'm AB+, but then again I tested negative.

AB+ here. I looked at the blood type diet briefly a long time ago, if I followed their thinking there is no way I could be celiac, but I better not eat chicken! Interesting poll though.

Now, as we AB types are supposed to be the newest blood type, we should be the ones that can actually eat all these grains without problem. Isn't that was evellution (sp) is all about? :lol:

      I've not heard of the DNA test I will definitely look into that. And I did not know that the neuropathy was symptoms of vitamin deficiency. I have been trying to get on a good vitamin regimen. Thank you!

      My GI Doctor took blood work and said my Iron levels were actually high. But they took my blood a couple weeks after my infusion so I'm thinking that's why they were showing so high, but they knew I had the infusions. The infusions did help greatly but I am also on an Iron pill that I can instantly notice if I have not taken it for a few days.  Yes, I have read up on that! Thank you so much! I sure that will be fun! Hahaha

      @shadycharacter, did you mean to reply to another post about sourdough bread? The present thread isn't about that.

      Thanks for your response. It seems to be only with gluten, illness, or vaccination.

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!
