Just wanted to hop on quick and answer a couple of questions that have come through. Please remember that I am in no way a medical doctor. I am simply reporting what I found.

Buttermilk is listed as an avoid for AB's in the TYPEbase 3 program. Personally, I wouldn't give up any family traditions for an avoid food (the mental anguish would be worse for me than eating a couple of pancakes and enjoying the company of my loved ones).

Coffee is also listed as an avoid for the AB's in the TYPEbase 3 program. Again, personally, if we're not to drink coffee or black tea...how is life worth living?! For me, moderation is the key and if my tummy gets upset from coffee, then I just eat something (soak up the acid) and move on.

So anyhow...your best judgement is all that you can use for yourself (and your loved ones). I know that even though I feel amazing on the BTD, I lived for four years at college off of dining hall food and turned out okay. A couple cups of coffee in the morning and buttermilk pancakes (my favorite too!) once and a while are better for my state of mind than stressing out over avoiding them.

For anyone who is curious about avoid or beneficial foods, the TYPEbase 3 program is really easy to use. Keep scrolling down a couple more boxes after the bloggers on the main page (dadamo.com). There are several typeable databases down there. Go to TYPEbase 3 and click on it. I do it this way:
