Should people with type B blood notice negative effects after eating chicken? I'm also a B blood type, but I've never noticed anything bad after eating chicken. At least nothing acute or immediate.

Are the theories behind the Blood Type Diet proven or tested in any way?

Wow! As a 2-day newcomer to " Blood Type Diet " I was seriously taken back with the no-more-chicken recommendation. As one recently diagnosed with the Bipolar Disorder, I succumbed to a slight Depression at the very sight of reading it yesterday. Hence, I am hypersensitie in every sense of the word. Nonetheless, after reading your reply without even going to that website peta.com, I am now ready to give it up just as quickly as I did the medication that kept me in a lethargic state of mind for the past 6 months. Merci, merci, merci.

I am Blood type B and am wondering if Chicken bone broth would also contain lectin (I hope this is not a dumb question). I have looked for lectin free recipes and have read that pasture raised free range Organic chicken bone broth can be used for B recipes. I stopped eating chicken about 6 months ago and used to suffer from heart burn almost daily, I do not get heart burn at all anymore. But I stay away from Chicken bone broth also. Thank you for any input.

I'm B+ too and I sometimes eat chicken but often feel like if I'm going to vomit. I must eat something else after like Sugar for me not to vomit.

I had the same reaction to chicken when I was pregnant... 25 years later I found out it's bad for my blood type. I'm type B and I've been following this diet for the last 7 months. I feel better, no gas, no reflux, no more joint pains- but that's since I eliminated nightshades. I have eaten avoid things and wen I do, I've gotten gas, and pimples.

I would like to know if anyone can direct me to information that explains why foods are on the avoid list? I haven't been able to find why I can't eat chicken aside from posts here. I guess I really want to understand the reasoning but I'd also like to make a choice of if I want to eat something based on if it'll just give me gas, or if it'll cause irreversible damage.

Hello there, am new to the list - am a thirtysomething Type B- ( secretor status unkown)

Regarding chicken...I gotta chuckle because, checking on the "NO" list for Bs, for at least a couple of years I seemed to be on a carefully designed Demolition course for myself - almost every night I would have PASTA for dinner, with a homemade TOMATO -based sauce (of course), with either CHICKPEAS( don't ask!) or CHICKEN mixed in with some other veggies, topped off with PARMESAN . Mornings I'd have some form of Muesli, and I 'd usually skip lunch because...guess what...I was leery of the usual "knock-out" symptoms I'd get , the bloating too. And to think I upped my chicken consumption rate because I thought I was lacking in animal protein !!

Over the last six months I've managed to eliminate chicken , and tomato/corn almost entirely. Wheat is an uphill battle though - I love pasta too much:-)
I seem to have slightly more energy than before ( and I fought off a recent cold in three-five days instead of the usual two weeks ) but I've been doing so much other stuff besides , like trying to get more sleep, meditation, and reducing Internet time, that it's hard to tell if the diet is really at stake... at any rate, I don't miss chicken at all!
