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:

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Daughter has started gluten free diet this week as per gastroenterologists suggestion. However says she feels more tired and like she’s been hit by a train. I suggested it could be the change to gluten free or just stress from the endoscopy last week catching up with her. Just wondering if feeling more tired is a normal reaction at this stage. I suppose it’s possible some gluten might have been present without realising. Have tried to reassure her it’s not going to resolve symptoms overnight

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.
