What's Your Blood Type?

I'm O+, and my fiance is A+ (though he's not celiac or gluten/wheat intollerant). I love red meats and they make me feel so much better if I haven't eaten them in a while. I try to eat it one every week/every other week. He on the other hand can't handle red meats as well. I know both of my parents are O+ and the celiac comes from my dad's side. I'm trying to talk my dad into getting tested as he now has diabetes and his mother and myself have celiac. He's just too damn stubborn though.

I'm O+ but am a vegetarian. Never handled meat well and now it just grosses me out. Of course I haven't had it since I gave up gluten, but I sure do enjoy my veggies! Not sure about my girls blood type, the older one loves meat and the younger could care less. Interesting theory.

My husband, Daughter and I are all O+.

I've actually looked in on this. Dr. D'Adamo has written several books based on blood type diets.

I found the diet to be rather helpful to me. He does have a website: Open Original Shared Link

He says that those that are non secreters (meaning you do not secrete your blood antigen into other body fluids

such as saliva the like) are 200% more likely to develop Celiac disease.

There's been a good bit of research. But it, like most ideas that are not mainstream are looked down upon.

I think he has a point.

My Natropath (sp?) says that it's still quite "one size fits all". My thoughts are that it's a great place to start.

The B blood type minority does not surprise me a bit. They're supposed to handle grains well.

Those that have Celiac may very well be non secreters.

I find the topic quite fascinating.

That's my ramble. :D

I'm O+, but I love (looove) meat. Always have. Dairy too. Might be a holdover from the 'I'm too skinny' days when I was trying to fatten myself up, but I just feel like crap if I go 36 hours without animal meat. Eggs and cheese don't even quite do it. We have lots of fish and chicken and cow and buffalo and lamb even. I hate shellfish though, not allergic, I just think it's slimy and squishy and ew. I used to like fried shrimp, but good luck finding that gluten free.

Munkee- good luck with your dad.

Seems like a pretty even split between O's and A's which make up most of the population. So I dont see a specific connection to type O.

Well shoot. If 72% of the population are O+ and A+ and that's the majority of blood types here, this tells us nothing. LOL. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

      Global Experts Recommend Gluten Reference Dose: What It Means for Celiac Safety (+Video)

      This is FANTASTIC--especially that they are recognising barley and (potentially) oats as sources of gluten/contamination! Now if only we can get labeling guidelines to clarify "spices" and "natural flavors" for those of us with other severe allergies.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Unfortunately, there is presently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. NCGS is thought to be much more common than celiac disease. We know that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder but the mechanism of NCGS is less clear. Both call for an elimination of gluten from the diet.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated. I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population? Also, I found what you said about N...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Thanks for your reply Trents…most appreciated.  I am unfamiliar with celiac labs terminology so I wanted to know if the presence of HLA variants (DA:101, DA:105, DQB1:0301 and DQB1:0501) that the labs detected had any merit in predisposing one to be more sensitive to gluten/carbs than the general population?  Also,  I found what you said about NCGS very interesting and I appreciate you mentioning that.  I’ve worked hard to research and advocate for myself with my Hematologist and now with a new GI, since my bowel surgery and to maintain my Vitamin B12 health concurrent with keeping my levels of Iron in the optimal range. I’ve been tested for SIBO (do not have it), biopsy showed negative for HPylori, and have had Fecal studies done (nothing showed up) and I understand how a loss of a large amount of bowel could be highly impacting re: SIBO, malabsorption and motility issues. So I’ve managed pretty well diet and elimination-wise until just recently. That said, this new problem with extreme bloating, distention and upper girth, NAFLD just occured over the last 4 months so it is new for me and I thought celiac might be a possible issue. I’ll probably just continue on in this less gluten/carbs seem to be better for me and see how reintroducing certain foods go.  Thanks again.

      Yeast extract

      By JoJo0611 · Posted

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.
