I would wonder if hazel eyes or being an euromutt are more of a common denominator (if there is one) than blood type .

I posted earlier but I'm O+ with med brown hair and green eyes. My youngest son is O+ also with medium brown hair and dark brown eyes. My oldest son is A+ light brown hair and the deepest blue eyes you ever saw. My dad and brother(whom I think have celiac) have B+. They were both toe heads when they were little and their hair eventually turned light brown. They have hazel eyes. As for my dad, brother and I mostly german/european decent with a touch of native american(my great grandmother was half). As for my boys, they have what I have plus from their dad's father's side is pretty much all irish decent and some native american(my husband's grandfather was half). From their dad's mother's side I know that they were german Jews that emmigrated to the US.

A+ here! Sounds like I am reporting a grade!! Oddly enough I have looked at my blood type diet, Swedish decent, and the foods I have been forced to eat to get my vits levels where they need to be are the exact foods on the blood type diet and the diet of the Swedish.....lots of fish!

I am A negative. Blonde hair, blue eyes, maternal grandparents were from Denmark and paternal grandparents were from Norway so I'm about as Scandinavian as I can get.

My celiac daughter is also A negative, blonde hair, blue eyes, 3/4 Scandinavian and 1/4 Heinz 57. :lol:

I've never given a thought to checking into the blood type diet.

B positive. Brown hair and eyes. "Euromutt" (love that!) with a smidge of Native American.

A+, I'm Scottish with brown hair but red highlight/tones in it. Eyes grey/blue.

bartfull Rising Star

OK, I forgot to give my background and coloring. I have grey hair that used to be brown, blue/grey eyes, and I am German, English, Polish, and Lakota Sioux. (What a combination!)

yorkieluv Newbie

O+ Sandy blonde hair and hazel eyes.

RVluvin Apprentice

O+, Hispanic with 1/8 Irish, Brown hair with red and blond mixed in (and some white now). My mother was a natural red. Eyes are brown. Undocumented, but very likely some native american from my fathers side.

0+, CMV-. Light brown hair, blue eyes. Grandfather of Irish descent and mom's side has Danish roots.

If you don't know what CMV negative is, I have never been exposed to the Cytomegalovirus, a flu-like virus most people are exposed to at some point. CMV can be dangerous to individuals with weakened immune systems, newborns and people undergoing organ transplants. For these individuals, having a blood donor who is CMV- (someone who has never been exposed to cytomegalovirus) is very important.

I used to donate a lot, but thanks to gluten (I know this now), my pulse and blood pressure got too high to donate. Getting off gluten has it back where it needs to be and I can donate again.

kareng Grand Master

I think we are all over the place with blood types!

I'm 0+. Reddish brown hair & freckles! No one asks where my ancestors come from, they just assume Irish or Scottish. Actually, only about 25% Irish, mostly German and some shady areas we are not sure of.

AB- here, with mostly Irish, Lebanese, and Eastern European ancestry. Hazel eyes, brown hair.

I'm B+, black hair, Brazilian and Italian descent.

So far i've been the only one diagnosed in my family but I suspect people on both my mothers and father's side could be celiac.

Judy3 Contributor

A+ Reddish Brown hair, Green eyes. Polish,German, Swedish, French, Indian (several tribes)... Apparently, my family never heard of borders!!! LOL

ciamarie Rookie

I'll play, since it was the blood-type diet that had me eating spelt and rye and very occasionally wheat for several years when I should have been gluten-free. :angry:

O+ American (Scottish and Canadian French and who knows what else).

      Symptoms that get worse if you don't supplement is a sign of malabsorption, possibly due to Celiac disease. Blood tests for nutritional deficiencies are not very accurate, and should be done when you have been off of supplements for eight to twelve weeks, otherwise the vitamin supplements you've taken will be measured.  The blood circulation system is a transportation system.  It transports the vitamins you've absorbed around the body, but blood tests don't give an accurate picture of the vitamin and mineral stores inside organs and tissues where they are actually used.  You can have "normal" blood levels but still have deficiencies.  This is because the brain demands stored nutrients be put into the blood stream to supply important organs, like the brain and heart, while other organs do without.   If you are taking Thiamine Mononitrate in your supplements, you are probably low in thiamine.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many supplements because it won't break down sitting on a shelf.  This also means Thiamine Mononitrate is difficult for the body to utilize.  Only thirty percent of Thiamine Mononitrate on the label is absorbed and even less is able to be utilized by the body.  A different form of Thiamine called Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.   Talk to your doctor about doing a genetic test to look for Celiac markers.   I'm concerned that if you do a gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum off two weeks) in your weakened state, the nutritional deficiencies will become worse and possibly life threatening.

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.
