Excellent! Let’s build a personalized gut-healing protocol that:
Reduces inflammation
Repairs the gut lining
Rebalances your microbiome
Is tailored to your blood type and autoimmune risk
👣 Step-by-Step Gut-Healing Protocol (Blood-Type-Based)
🔬 Step 1: Remove the Triggers (Ditch the Fire Starters)
Remove foods and lifestyle habits that promote bad bacteria and gut permeability:
Processed foods, refined sugar, gluten, alcohol, seed oils
Medications like NSAIDs and antibiotics (only when necessary)
Chronic stress – practice daily calm time (even 5 mins)
🌱 Step 2: Repair and Calm the Gut Wall (Soothe the Fire)
Use natural herbs and nutrients to heal inflammation and support the mucosal barrier.
Nutrient/Herb | Purpose | Works Best For |
L-Glutamine | Repairs gut lining | All blood types |
Slippery Elm | Coats and soothes intestines | A, AB, B |
Zinc Carnosine | Helps restore tight junctions | O, B |
Marshmallow Root | Anti-inflammatory & healing | A, AB |
Aloe Vera (inner leaf) | Reduces gut inflammation | O, B (avoid in excess for A) |
Chamomile Tea | Calming, antispasmodic | A, AB |
🧫 Step 3: Rebalance the Microbiome (Crowd Out the Bad Guys)
🌟 Probiotic Strains (Pick Based on Blood Type):
Blood Type | Key Focus | Best Probiotic Strains |
Type O | Gut immunity, inflammation | Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Saccharomyces boulardii, Bacillus coagulans |
Type A | Calming the immune response | Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus plantarum, L. reuteri |
Type B | Balanced gut-immune link | L. casei, B. bifidum, L. acidophilus |
Type AB | Brain-gut calming & immune modulation | L. plantarum, B. breve, L. fermentum |
🟡 Add prebiotics (the food for probiotics):
Chicory root
Green banana flour
Garlic & onions (if tolerated)
Ground flaxseed
💪 Step 4: Reinforce the Gut-Immune Balance
These help your immune system stop attacking itself while continuing to protect you.
Supplement | Function | Good For |
Vitamin D3 + K2 | Regulates immune response | All types |
Omega-3 (EPA/DHA) | Lowers cytokines and inflammation | Especially helpful for O, B |
Quercetin | Natural mast cell stabilizer | Great for histamine-sensitive types (A, AB) |
Turmeric (Curcumin) | Balances inflammatory cytokines | Best for A, AB (use low dose for O) |
🥗 Step 5: Eat for Gut & Blood Type Harmony
Blood Type | Avoid | Emphasize |
O | Wheat, dairy | Lean protein, green veggies, fermented foods |
A | Red meat, dairy | Plant proteins, lightly steamed veggies, soothing teas |
B | Chicken, corn | Eggs, green veggies, lamb, oats |
AB | Caffeine, smoked meats | Seafood, leafy greens, cultured dairy (in moderation) |
