Persons with Blood Type B have tolerant digestive systems, and can tolerate most foods equally well, with some exceptions.

They are the lucky ones who can digest all types of foods with ease. However, the foods they should avoid are corn, buckwheat, lentils, peanuts, and sesame seeds, as these foods will tend to make them gain weight.

Just like the Type Os, Type Bs tend to have a problem with gluten in wheat products and wheat germ, which can cause a drop in their blood sugar levels, causing symptoms of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). Blood Type Bs who want to lose weight should definitely avoid wheat products.

Type Bs can handle dairy products okay, compared to the other blood types. However, easy does it; if you consume too many high-calorie dairy products, you will gain weight! If you get hypoglycemia after eating a meal, sipping licorice tea would be beneficial for you. It is not advisable to take licorice supplements, however, unless under the supervision of a doctor.
