Good question! I haven't seen this one before. So I quess I can get you list
of answers started. My wife is a celiac and she is O+. Neither of my
daughters has been diagnosed with celiac disease yet. I have a 5 year old,
she has my blood type (A+) and ADHD (Attention Deficiet Hyperactivity
Disorder). I know there has been some relation shown to ADHD and celiac
disease but as of yet she has not been diagnosed with Celiac. My youngest
daughter is 2 years old and has her mother's blood type (O+) but is what I
would call a perfectly normal 2 year old. She has not shown any signs of
ADHD or Celiac disease. As you know Celiac is usually brought on by a
traumatic experience. For instance my wife's condition started when my first
daughter was born, but as with many others was not properally diagnosed
until this year. So we plan to keep a close eye on both of our daughters as
they grow up and help them understand the symptoms just incase they develope
them. Maybe by that time the general public will be more aware of this
condition. Hope this helps and I hope this gets other responses.
