I started eating gluten free foods about 15 years ago after reading “Eat Right 4 Your Type” by Dr. J. D’Adamo with Catherine Whitney. In this book they explain how your blood type determines what kind of foods that your body can consume without adverse reactions happening internally.
I happen to by a type “O” which apparently 70% of the population are the same. This is the oldest type of blood as the types “A”, “B”, ” and “AB” developed in man as we evolved. The theory goes that Neandrathal man was type “O” and lived life as a hunter/gatherer.
This meant they mostly consumed meat and therefore their (and our) bodies operated (operates) best on a protein based diet. Because the majority of people on this planet are Type “O” they are the ones that need to be eating gluten free foods by adhering to a gluten free diet.
Most overweight people are consuming large amounts of gluten in flour based products. The obvious ones are all the different bread products but if you start reading the package contents in the products in the grocery store, most everyone there contains gluten.
The extreme of gluten insensitivity are people who suffer with celiac disease. The not so obvious reactions to gluten include. Arthritis, weight gain, lethargy, intestinal disturbance, bloating, and even light sensitivity in the eyes. These are just a few of the reactions your body has to eating non gluten free foods.
So the bottom line is, if you are suffering physically you have to accept that you are what you eat and if you do not change your diet your symptoms will never go away. Being a sensitive person most likely means that you need to be eating gluten free foods. Adopt a gluten free diet and your body will be so much more healthy and responsive.

i have been in a gluten free diet ever since last year because i have food allergy.
Glad to hear you have listened to your body and adjusted your diet accordingly. Good on you!
Wow. I never really thought of things this way. I guess over millions of years our bodies evolved to be a certain way.
What happens if you are blood group AB as I am. I wonder where we can from?
Hi Stan and thanks for your comments. Your question on blood group AB is a good one. My guess is that it evolved through a blending of cultures from east and west. Good luck tracing it back to its origin.
Hi Stan. I’m also type “O” and consider myself lucky for finding your site.
Do you know of any recipe book on gluten-free bread baking?
I’ll appreciate any help on this matter.
