I spent the last few hours researching D'Adomo's genotype diet. Starting at the wikepedia entry and branching out to lectins, anthropology and genetics. I understand his main points and I read some of the criticisms.

I think I may still do a 15 day no wheat trial, but I'm more skeptical now. His critics typecally have an axe to grind (otherwise they wouldn't spend the time writing), but their arguments are more convincing then D'Adamo's, according to my taste for scientific rigor.

Jennifer, your diet may be good for you based on other reasons then you think. If you are comfortable now, don't change, but you could try adding wheat again (if you have no allergy), and see if you energy drops.

I guess D'Adamo is trapped in his father's footsteps and fell for confirmation bias, where someone disregards contrary evidence. He did not do controlled studies showing that type O people react badly to wheat.

One critic referenced on the wikipedia entry on the diet shares my intuitions about genetics and diet. It's unlikely that there is a connection between blood type and diet in the first place, and there is no evidence for it.

I'm sorry that your beliefs are different from mine Jennifer, I hope I did not hurt your feelings.
