I am A+, as is my ex-husband... so imagine my surprise when my middle daughter, who is also a celiac, told me she is O+?

Two A+'s don't necessarily add up to all A+ kids.

that confused me, until I found this.... Open Original Shared Link

which when you scroll down and put A for both parents then the thing says you can get A, or O

so, I believe you LOL (not that I didn't but since hubby and I are both O it was explained that our kids had to be, but I guess that's different for different blood types and didn't know until today. Our kids could have been O+ or O- but ended up + which is kinda cool in some ways and kinda uncool in others)

What I find interesting is that,

I am A-negative and my husband is O-negative. I just had a baby in Dec. and she is A+

...Two negatives made a positive.... I guess anything is possible!

I had to get two shots after birth because a lot of my baby's blood entered into my blood.

I am A- negative. I know most of the world is positive (RH factor).

Just curious to see how many others that are celiacs are a negative RH factor.

A-negative also.

:rolleyes: barrilla, this is a bit differnt than your question but I read somewhere that most celiacs are O's.

with adding myself as O blood type the posts add up to 11 0's and 6 A's and B's, so this is around 1/2. Have a good day all, evie

O Positive .Lots of A and O here.

I am B+.

The most common blood type is O, followed by A, B then AB. Positive being more common than Neg.

So if most celiacs are O, its probably only because O is the most common blood type.

Hi Ladies,

I have been wheat/Gluten/corn/soy/dairy free since 2/22/06, due to being so ill for

several months. Including a B12 deficiency. Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 95' when

they couldn't prove that I had the Ankylosing Spondylitis I had been being treated for

since the age of 14! Ok, here is the thing. I went off all this stuff after seeing a

nutritionist who counsels on Blood Type Diets, helping people with chronic diseases and to

lose weight, also. I am an A+, 40 yo, and just had 1st pregnancy 2yr ago. Everything

got much worse after that event. I wonder if I have had it all along and it was triggered

by the pregnancy. I nursed for 20 months and it got much worse when I stopped.

Today, I had oatmeal and about 90 mins later thought I was dying. That I was supposed to

be able to have?! So, looking for a "what should I do next" Tests? Advice? Where does

Gluten hide?

Thanks in advance to all,

Trish in Bullville, NY

Two A+'s don't necessarily add up to all A+ kids.

YeP.. because "A" is often AO and "B" is often BO so you realy have...(stetching my memory back to bilogy class...)

AA (called A)

AB (Called AB)

AO (Called A)

BO (Called B )

BB (called B )

OO (Called O)

So a father with AO and mother with AO could easily have a child with O

BTW I am O+ , Red Cross constantly after me to donate! :)

I just started thinking....I've heard of diets based on your blood type? Does anyone know anything about this? I'm wondering if the things we're allergic or intolerant to could be similar for other people with the same blood type???? Your thought anyone???

misskerry Newbie

I am O+, but my parents and both of my sisters are all A+.

I don't know my blood type. I've always wanted to find out though.

If I did the diet for my blood type it would kill me. My type has wheat as a main grain.

cathy321 Newbie

I'm O negative.

mamaw Community Regular

O neg for me. this blood type diet is mainly proteins such as meat. I believe o has been around since the beginning of time so we are meat eaters..... That's about the only thing that seems correct within my body---no grains...everything else doesn't ever add up for me!!!!!

A+! I always studied hard in school!

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Hello, @MogwaiStripe, Vitamin D is turned into its activated forms by Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency can affect Vitamin D activation. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14913223/ Thiamine deficiency affects HLA genes.  HLA genes code for autoimmune diseases like Celiac, Thyroiditis, Diabetes, etc.  Thiamine deficiency inside a cell triggers a toggle switch on the gene which in turn activates autoimmune diseases carried on the gene.  The reference to the study is in my blog somewhere.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll down to the drop down menu "Activities" and click on blogs.

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
