What does Blood Type have to do with your Microbiome

There are millions of bacteria and yeast living in your digestive tract, known as the microbiome. The different kinds of microbes are usually in balance with one another, preventing any one type of germ from overgrowing and causing disease. Cultured foods and probiotic supplements provide additional "friendly bacteria" to help restore intestinal balance.

What does this have to do with Blood Type? Blood type antigens are not only found in your blood stream; they're also found in your digestive system. Many bacteria in your GI tract eat these blood type antigens. Other types of bacteria secrete substances that act against your blood type, so those strains should be avoided. This is why people of different blood types have different bacteria found in their microbiomes, and there is no "one size fits all" protocol for building a healthy microbiome.
