If you have Blood Type B and would like to reduce your likelihood of depression, insulin resistance, hypothyroidism, leaky gut, UTIs and sinus infections by eating foods according to your blood type, then keep reading because I have the list of foods you must eat and avoid to achieve your best health.

In my article The Blood Types Explained, I discussed how each blood type was created throughout history based on the book Eat Right 4 (for) Your Type by Dr. Peter D’Adamo.

For Blood Type B, I explained that it is closest to a probiotic diet, since it consists of several fermented and cultured foods like kefir and sauerkraut. The Candida Diet would also suit a person with Type B blood since it includes animal meat and fermented food, but excludes wheat-gluten.

These diets are great for balancing the Type B gut microbiome since they have “50,000 times more strains of friendly bacteria than either Type O or A individuals”.

And yup, I did the probiotic and Candida diets too as a Type O, and even though I experienced some relief from the Candida fungal infection, Cadidiasis, I still had gut issues. I know now that I don’t need all those probiotics because the Type O diet is more simple consisting of mostly meat. And the kefir I was drinking was still dairy even though it was fermented, a no-no for Type Os.

Dr. D’Adamo noted that B stands for balance, since this blood type does well with food from both the vegetarian diet used by Type As and the carnivore diet used mostly by Type Os. Considering this, Type Bs are true omnivores. The essence of balance also applies to the use of probiotic foods to balance their gut microbiome.

Since everything we eat creates a chemical reaction with our blood whether good or bad, it’s best to eat foods that our individual blood type genes find favorable. This means that our lectins (yes as the human organisms we have lectins) like those foods and will not signal the immune system to target it as a foreign invader and destroy it.

With that said, there are still certain foods that Blood Type Bs should not eat. When they eliminate these foods, their health improves.

Below are lists of popular foods for Blood Type B. As Dr. D’Adamo does in his book, Eat Right 4 Your Type, I will categorize the foods into Highly Beneficial, Neutral and Avoid.
