What's Your Blood Type?

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!!!!!

      @catnapt,  Wheat germ contains high amounts of lectins which are really hard to digest and can be irritating to the digestive tract.  They can stimulate IgG antibody production as your blood test shows.   Even beans have lectins.  You've simply eaten too many lectins and irritated your digestive tract.   You may want to allow your digestive tract to rest for a week, then start on gluten in "normal" food, not in concentrated vital wheat gluten. This explains it well: Lectins, agglutinins, and their roles in autoimmune reactivities https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25599185/

      I take Now B-1 (100 mg) Thiamine Hydrochloride, and Amazing Formulas L-Tryptophan (1000 mg).   Both are gluten free and free of other allergens.  I've taken them for a long time and haven't had a problem with them. I take Vitamin A from BioTech called "A-25".  It's gluten and allergen free and made in the USA.  It's a powder form of Vitamin A.  I was having trouble digesting fats at one point, but found I tolerated the powder form much better and have stuck with it since.   Tryptophan and Vitamin A help heal the intestines as well as improves skin health.  I get Dermatitis Herpetiformis and eczema flairs when my stomach is upset.  So I'm healing the outside as well as the inside.   I take one 1000 mg Tryptophan before bedtime.   With the Thiamine HCl, take 100 mg to start.  If you don't notice anything, three hours later take another. You can keep increasing your dose in this manner until you do notice improvement.  Remember not to take it in the evening so it won't keep you too energized to sleep. When I first started Thiamine HCl, taking 500 mg to 1000 mg to start was recommended.  If you've been thiamine insufficient for a while, you do notice a big difference.  It's like the start of a NASCAR race: Zoom, Zoom, turn it up!   This scared or made some people uncomfortable, but it's just your body beginning to function properly, like putting new spark plugs in your engine.  I took 1000 mg all at once without food.  It kicked in beautifully, but I got a tummy ache, so take with food.  I added in Thiamine TTFD and Benfotiamine weeks later and felt like I was Formula One racing.  So cool.  You may feel worse for a couple days as your body adjusts to having sufficient thiamine.  Feels sort of like you haven't cranked your engine for a while and it backfires and sputters, but it will settle down and start purring soon enough.  Adjust your dose to what feels right for you, increasing your dose as long as you feel improvement.  You can reach a plateau, so stay there for several days, then try bumping it up again.  If no more improvements happen, you can stay at the plateau amount and experiment with increasing your Thiamine TTFD.  It's like being your own lab rat.  LoL Yes, take one Benfotiamine at breakfast and one at lunch.  Take the B Complex at breakfast. Take the TTFD at breakfast and lunch as well.  I like to take the vitamins at the beginning of meals and the NeuroMag at the end of meals.   You may want to add in some zinc.  I take Thorne Zinc 30 mg at breakfast at the beginning of the meal.   Are you getting sufficient Omega Threes?  Our brains are made up mostly of fat.  Flaxseed oil supplements, sunflower seed oil supplements (or eat the seeds themselves) can improve that.  Cooking with extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or coconut oil is also helpful.   @Wheatwacked likes phosphotidyl choline supplements for his Omega Threes.  He's also had dramatic health improvement by supplementing thiamine.  You're doing great!  Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  This path will smooth out.  Keep going!

      good luck! vital wheat gluten made me violently ill. I will touch the stuff ever again.  
    • catnapt
      I wouldn't consider this lucky. I can NOT tolerate the symptoms. And I googled it and I was not even getting 10 grams of gluten per day and I was extremely ill. They'd have to put me in the hospital. I'm not kidding.   I will have my first appt with a GI dr on March 4th   I will not eat gluten again - at least not on purpose   they are going to have to come up with a test that doesn't require it.

      What Thiamine Hydrochloride brand do you take? Is it like the other vitamins I have added? What brand Tryptophan and amount do you take. Thanks
