It depends..: There are many food "intolerances" that are not clear "syndromes" and can be very individual. You may find you feel better off wheat even if you don't have celiac disease per se. So trial and error to sort it out personal intolerances is ok. But stop for a week, then rechallenge for a week for a few cycles. Be sure it is real or you may just have a sensitive stomach and end up a dietary cripple.

No relationship: Gluten free diet benefits only those who are truly sensitive to gluten you need to consult a GI doctor if you suspect you may have a gluten issue or crohn's disease. Your blood type has nothing to do with either.
