Re: multiple food allergies?/Blood type diet

[Guest guest]

I can't buy into the blood type diet. For me, it claims I should eat many foods that I am highly allergic to! Cheryl in MNrxp_us@...

I must have missed something, what is the blood type diet?

That last link takes you to AB blood type. Here's the general info

I've heard that, from the blood type diet that blood type can be a

correlation factor to celiac disease, that blood types A and AB are more

likely to have CD. I'm a blood type A so I was wondering if that was true.

But it could just be an over exageration, has anyone else heard of

anything like that?

We use the biotype diet by Dr. Power. It's different from the

one you have here. She did research over decades seeing how blood

types react after ingesting certain foods (e.g. lectins cause red

blood cells to clump together if ingested). Interestingly enough,

almost everything that DS was allergic to was on the " Do Not Eat "

column with the exception of bananas, I think, which was in the

" limit " column . She recently lectured in London on the difference

between the two.

Its' based on the A, B, O blood groups.

I have a hard time believing in the blood type diet.

It seems like a bunch of nonsense someone made up to

write a book about and make money.

I am type O and have celiac disease, in case you're

counting!!

I am AB+, DH is O+, DS is A and not sure of DD off hand. Would have to look it

up.

From what I've read and Dr. D'Adamo's research, there is no

correlation between ABO blood groups and celiac disease. There is a

subtype that is more likely to have CD, called non-secretors, (who

do not secrete blood type antigen into spit and similar bodily

fluids). They also are more prone to other auto-immune conditions.

Food allergies are separate from blood type reactions, though they

can sometimes follow a similar pattern of immune cascade. From what

I've seen in myself and others I've met, most allergies are to foods

that are bad for one's blood type, but allergies are unpredictable

and can be against just about any food. I feel much better when I

follow the blood type diet, but gluten free comes first when I'm in

a pinch. My blood type (O+ non-secretor) has a lot of restrictions

on grains, so it's pretty compatible with gluten-free and what led

me to finally realize that my staple food (wheat) was doing great

damage to me.

D'Adamo is currently writing a book about genotype diet, which I'm

am anxious to see. Blood type is just one gene, and a very

important one when you consider many factors. Yet, of course, there

are other genes that also influence diet, and now they're getting

cheaper to test for, so that should be very interesting. I think

the book will include haplotype, mitochondrial DNA, single-

nucleotide polymorphisms, and all kinds of other interesting stuff.

Just remember that the BT diet clearly states that the

recommendations are in relation to agglutinization,

etc. .. if you have a food allergy that is a different

bio mechanism and that the food allergy takes

precendence over the " value " of a food for your BT.

I mean think about it - even conventional nutritional

medicine, which is widely accepted, say that say

berries, etc. are good for you....but people are

allergic to berries. don't eat them. no brainer.

Why does it then " invalidate " his claim that a,b,c is

good for most people with type " O " etc. .. yet you are

allergic to b,c? It doesn't (doesn't prove it

either).

I do well on the BT diet .. (when I do it ) but

I don't really feel " bad " when eating some of the

" avoids " either .. (tho other avoids like grains

bother me severely).

I am a type O (FWIW).
