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.

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I don't know about the 2P. 2 Pairs of genes?

      gluten-free Canada finds

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Pamela Kay · Posted

      Glad this helped. There are lots of alternative breads out there, so someone has likely made some sort of paleo bread with no grain. And if you bake, experiment with some of the alternative flours to see what you can come up with. If you commit to the gluten-free diet 100%, you may want to do a bit of research on some of the tricker aspects of getting gluten out of your diet, such as cross contamination in the home kitchen (pots and pans, cutting boards, toaster, airborne flour). Don't feel you have to do everything at once, or let this overwhelm you. I've always said that going gluten free is a process, not a moment. The reason I mention this is that, if you think you are gluten-free, but still having symptoms, you may realize that even minute amounts of gluten cause a reaction for a while. Let me know if you have any questions.  Pam

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The doctor was correct--if you are gluten-free the blood panel for celiac disease will not work, you would need to go on gluten challenge in order to be tested. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
