Gluten free pretzels, what could be more important?
That is how I felt last night at a co-op in Saint Paul. A simple question at the register inquiring if the store carried any turned into a storewide search. I love that about people who my husband refers to as “my kind:” those that have food allergies, care about the environment, and eat healthy. Usually they are eager to help with whatever I need and want to know about my celiac disease. At the co-op I followed the nice cashier around the store as she pointed out her favorite gluten free items. Tortillas, truffles, crackers, pizza crust…most I had heard about, but I followed eagerly happy to listen to her enthusiasm.
I love even more talking to people that have celiac disease or are eating gluten free for other reasons. Which brings me to a new topic. The cashier last night indicated that she was gluten free because of the diet she is on for her blood type. My future sister-in-law is eating according to her blood type as well. Is this something new? Am I one of the only few that hasn’t heard of this yet? If you have information on this, please enlighten me. I find this fascinating.
Thanks for your help, all you lovely people that help me at the co-ops. You make my life easier and more fulfilling!

Okay, I have had to use 2 browsers to read and comment (one can't open the blog the other can't open the comment page!). So you know that I really want to comment...
But I just wanted to say that all of you Dirt Worshiping Hippie Tree Hugging Veg Heads are good at sticking together.
BTW the "Dirt Worshiping Hippie Tree Hugging Veg Head" comment is a joke, so don't hate me.

Eat for/4 your [blood] type is a book that discusses Dr. Peter D'Adamo's diet theory. I read the book about eight years ago and it was what clued me in to the idea that I, as a type 0 individual, should not be eating wheat, that it was wheat that was causing me GI distress and autoimmune problems. About 4 years later, I switched from being wheat-free to GF - now I am sensitive to a trace of gluten. Since I had already gone off the wheat, I couldn't be accurately tested for celiac, but I'm pretty sure I either have celiac or a gluten allergy (my symptoms are very severe and not entirely GI related). Anyways, here is a link to the book: http://www.amazon.com/Eat-Right-Your-Type-Individualized/dp/039914255X/sr=8-1/qid=1165445644/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/102-8087764-2450535?ie=UTF8&s=books
