What's Your Blood Type?

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.

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. :o Doctors still scratch their heads over that one, but he was a hot ticket item as a blood donor! :D

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

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+.

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.

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

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. ;)

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.

      But isn't it easier to just take a D3 supplement? Is the D light somehow a superior source? Links?

      So the way it should be used is to take it before possible gluten exposure, so right before a meal at a restaurant take 1-2 capsules. Unfortunately taking it 1 hour or more after an exposure is too late.

      Do I really need to get a biopsy?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, and thank you for sharing your detailed experience. It sounds like you’ve been through a lot over the past several months, and it’s understandable to feel frustrated after navigating unclear diagnoses and conflicting advice. Since you’ve found relief with a gluten- and corn-free diet, it might be worth continuing that approach for now, especially given your current commitments to culinary classes. You could consider working with a knowledgeable dietitian or a gastroenterologist who specializes in food intolerances and celiac disease to explore potential intolerances or other conditions without immediately reintroducing gluten. If confirming celiac disease is important for your long-term health management, you could plan for an endoscopy during a less busy period, ensuring you follow the gluten challenge protocol beforehand. In the meantime, prioritizing your well-being and avoiding known triggers seems like a practical step. Always advocate for yourself with doctors, and seek second opinions if needed—your health concerns are valid. 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.
