What's Your Blood Type?

[FoxersArtist]

A Dr. recently told me that people with O type blood are more prone to wheat/gluten/casein allergies and conditions. Those with O blood types do better eating meats and vegetables. My whole family (hubby, kids, and myself) are all O+. I'm just curious to find out what blood type other celiacs are. If you are an O blood type, do you find it easier to process meats and veggies? I had a horrible time with meat before going gluten free. Now it seems to be the easiest thing on my tummy. I feel bloated and yucky when I eat too many grains/flours and do ok with dairy, though a lot of it upsets my tummy.

Nope, we're all A+.

Daughter and I are both O+. So is my mom. We all have food allergies, but daughter is the only one allergic to wheat and gluten. My mom has arthritis though and finds that wheat and nightshades make her arthritis worse.

O negative. Mom was O negative, Dad was A Positive and then became A negative. Doctors still scratch their heads over that one, but he was a hot ticket item as a blood donor!

I believe my gluten intolerance comes from my mom's side of the family.

[Ridgewalker]

Wow... I am O+, as are my mom and both of my sons. Interesting.

[mushroom]

A+ for me. Supposedly the kind the mosquitoes like. (I can vouch for that.)

[Katsby]

I'm O+.

[Jo.R]

A- (the blood banks love me).

[kenlove]

A+ for me -- my grades were not

[darlindeb25]

Doctors get funny ideas, and of course, think they are always right. Nope, we are all A+. My sister, dad, and I--all celiac, all A+.

[blueeyedmanda]

I am O+

[crazymurdock]

AB positive for me.

[ShayFL]

All A+

[wolfie]

O+ for me, I believe DS is as well. Not sure about DD or DH.

[lizard00]

I'm A+

I did peruse the "A" book for the Blood Type Diet which says that A's are supposed to eat very limited amounts of wheat, dairy and meat. So, I have Celiac, don't do well with dairy and most days don't care if I eat meat. But some of the vegetables it says not to eat I don't have a problem with, so I'm not sure you can absolutely label all A's, or any blood type, as being intolerant to something...

Very interesting thread. Thanks for starting it!

O neg for me.

"More prone to" would be a true statement if the percentage of type O with celiac is even slightly higher than the pecentage of any other type blood. Those psuedo-quantitative word cause problems.

O- for three of us all celiacs.... Dad was a+ not sure what Mother is.

O is the oldest blood type & we are considered the meat eaters not grain eaters. We too never really cared for much meat but now we eat lots of meat & veggies & we all feel better !

I get less migraines when I eat meat. I think we need more protein than other blood type but that is just my thought......

I also wonder if it's because 0+ is the most common blood type in America.

[curlyfries]

All A+ in my family.

[fedora]

ME= B positive- gluten and casein intolerant, problems with heavy meats like pork and beef, sugar issues

hubby= A negative (the blood bank loves him)- Casein intolerant, never liked eggs

kids unkown(would they be AB?), 2 of 3 may be gluten intolerant

[Aleshia]

husband and I are both O+ not sure what the kids are

[Jo.R]

husband and I are both O+ not sure what the kids are

Your kids would be O as well.

[Generic]

I'm an A+. (My grades matched except in math ) There seems to be allot of us here. Interesting. Maybe it is the European descent.

[Ab-Normal]

I'm O-.

Tangentially, my mom is going nuts trying to figure out who the heck I inherited this from. We usually blame gut problems on my dad's side of the family, as they aren't around to defend themselves.

Norma

gluten free for (checks system clock) 45 minutes.

[cruelshoes]

My son and I are both A-.
