I heard an interesting thing at the gluten-free store yesterday. I was wondering how many of us with celiac disease also have type O blood. I am O+ and the only one in my family, and also the only one with celiac disease. Hum.... wondering if there is a connection. If so, that would help a lot of others with diagnosis.

Yes, I believe O is the most common blood type but I am not sure on that.

i was also going to comment on O being the most common, so the theory of most people with celiac disease having O, b/c of the blood type itself wouldn't really be an accurate assumption...

Thanks for all the replies. Interesting still.

If you are visiting this question, PLEASE VOTE. I know it's not scientific, but still interesting to me.

I don't know which blood type is most common, but I do know that of the four most common ones, A, B, AB and O, type AB is the most rare type. These are only the four most common. There are actually other types out there. Type O is popular because it can be given as a blood transfusion to the other types.

controlled studies have not found a link between celiac disease diagnosis and blood type. perhaps they've missed something, but it doesn't look like it. but it's not that surprising that the genes for determining blood surface proteins are different than the genes for digestive enzymes.

I'm A+ - I joke it's the only A+ I've ever gotten (ok, 7th grade drafting class...)

I went on a kick with the blood type diet which helped me further learn of my gluten problem by educating me on the problems with wheat. I did identify other things as well that seem to be mild problem foods for me, such as garbanzo beans and some kinds of fish. I think the lectin issue is interesting - seems to have some semblence of science behind it but hasn't totally proved true for me.

Anyway, interesting poll.

My mother is A+ and diagnosed celiac. I don't know what blood type my son is. I'm AB+, but then again I tested negative.

AB+ here. I looked at the blood type diet briefly a long time ago, if I followed their thinking there is no way I could be celiac, but I better not eat chicken! Interesting poll though.

Now, as we AB types are supposed to be the newest blood type, we should be the ones that can actually eat all these grains without problem. Isn't that was evellution (sp) is all about? :lol:

      Hidden Gluten in distilled vinegar

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I've not heard of any issues with Primal Kitchen, but it certainly would be worth not using the brand for a while to see if this helps. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Gluten free/ non dairy , low calorie pudding

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm not sure about low calorie, as puddings are typically a dessert, but we do have this category: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/gluten-free-dessert-recipes-pastries-cakes-cookies-etc/gluten-free-pudding-recipes/ This one might work if you cut back on the sugar:

      We are off next week on our 9th RCCL cruise since our diagnoses.  I send an email to special_needs@rccl.com before every cruise letting them know that I am both dairy and gluten free and my husband is gluten free.   Unfortunately, with the new menus they introduced in 2023, they removed the gluten-free designation from each item on the menu.  Instead of having a dedicated person take gluten-free orders, it now falls to your regular wait staff.  Some have been great and some not so good.  We had a great cruise in May and hit it off with our head waiter.  She went the extra mile and ordered gluten free desserts that were not on the menu.  My problem arises from other food allergies.  I am allergic to dairy, beef, and several types of fish.  On those days my husband is a happy camper with a steak or salmon, veggies and a baked potato.  I end up not getting enough protein, so I bring protein bars.  I also bring snacks for the room. As long as the food is commercially prepared and unopened, you can bring it. Often the only dessert choices that are gluten free contain dairy, so I am out of luck.  But, if you are just gluten free, they have plenty of choices.  See the head chef in the Windjammer buffet and he will give you a tour of the gluten-free choices.  They usually have 2 gluten free desserts out at lunch and they are labeled gluten free. We have found that it works best to have assigned dining rather than anytime.  That way the waiters learn from the get go what our needs are, and we don't have to explain ourselves every night.  We also get a private table for 2.  I frankly got sick and tired of tablemates telling me a little bit of gluten would not hurt me.

      Hi Trents-Thanks for reading and sharing insight.  We need all the help we can get and it's super appreciated.  She is currently dairy, soy and oat free and those have mostly been completely excluded from her diet since the diagnosis (we tried going back on dairy and oats at different times for a bit, didn't see a significant difference but have now cut out again just to be extra safe since her issues are so persistent.  We did cut eggs out for about 3 months and didn't notice significant difference there, either.  The only one we haven't specifically cut out completely for any portion of time is corn, however, we've kept it minimal in all of our diets for a long time.  She definitely goes 3-4 weeks without any corn products at times and still has issues, but I'm guessing that's not long enough to confirm that it isn't causing issues.   We could definitely try to go longer just to double check.  Thanks again!
