O Secretors: 58, Non-Secretors: 16
I did a search on TypeBase, I put in the search term of non-secretor, and I searched by type O. That way it showed all the foods for Os that have different values for non-secretors.
It turned up 115 differences in values between secretors and non-secretors.
There are 58 foods only secretors can have.
Then 41 neutral vs. beneficial differences
And finally only 16 foods that only non-secretors can have (I think they're all neutral for us):
Avocado - yummy
Catfish - never tried it
Coconut Oil - surprising, too bad we can't have coconut milk too.
Goose Egg - never tried it
Lentils (all types) - pretty good stuff, lentil soup with greens is good
MSG - surprising, one fewer food additive to look out for I guess
Mushrooms (domestic button type) - yummy
Mustard Greens - never tried them
Nutmeg - yummy, get your own nutmeg grater, surprisingly good on Italian food or soups.
Pinto Bean - good, I used to eat them all the time
Quail Egg - I like these okay, I can only find the canned type around here.
Quail - they're too cute, I'm not sure I could eat them
Salmon Roe - uh, never tried it
Turtle - never tried it
Now my task is to find a treat that includes some of these, for times when I feel sorry for my non-secretor-ism. I tried making an egg tortilla (similar to an omelette), then I put refried pinto beans, ground beef with Taco Dust on it (Taco Dust has no avoids, fillers, or preservatives), then some fresh salsa, lime juice and avocado slices on top. The egg tortilla was ok, but it probably would have been just as good without it. The rest was tasty. I'd love to find a o-nonnie gluten-free tortilla that works out well, but I haven't found one yet. I have a tortilla maker that I haven't used for years, but it's nice, if I could think of a good reason to dust it off. I've heard that mesquite pod flour makes good tortillas, but it's an unknown and an iffy one at that, not that I've ever gotten hold of any.
I can't believe I survived my eating out adventure last night. We went to a Japanese Steakhouse. I asked them to not use soy sauce, so everything they made at our table was fine, but I wasn't sure about the premade sauces, so I only had a little of the mustard sauce. I also had salad dressing. I was sure there was something that would make me sick, but when I got home I took some deflect and cut up a fresh pineapple. That helped. I did have some dairy and for the first time I noticed a reaction to it. I had been having some trouble with my ears due to inflamed eustacian tubes. That started up again after dinner. I could even feel some discomfort in my eustacian tubes. I'm doing better today, but a bit stuffy.
Before I got my blood type tested I thought I was a B, because I didn't think I had any trouble with dairy, and I did react badly to chicken. Going on the type O diet got rid of my chicken reaction.
