...and I'm jumping for joy!  Just checked my results!

Hello peppers and tomatoes and coconut and whatever else I've been restricting!!!!!!!  

Just thought I'd share.  

Now you can change your avitar to reflect the new status! I'm glad you are happy about it.

Fantastic for you!  Love your happiness in your discovery!

Hopefully, you will notice some health improvements as you shift to the type A nonnie diet.

Hey nonnie-nonnie! Welcome to the club! And your radically shifted diet!

Knowledge is power.  I always liked meat too much and was too bored by tofu to be a regular A.  Turkey and lamb, yum, but like you said, coconut!!  Remember, only one serving of grain a day and you will feel better.  I usually feel sluggish if I eat it in the morning. Save it for your evening meal so you can have spelt tortillas and spelt or rye bread, or rice for dinner.

I knew we had a connection in the magnesium thread!

I recently bought some L-phenylalanine as discussed on another thread as good for nonnies and I do believe it perked me up and gave me more energy today!

Welcome, Diane

Oh oh oh...welcome, welcome scout to the nonnie club.   Grab yourself a nice warm seat...it's great to have you here.

Hi to another A Nonnie!

Did you re-read all the food lists when you found out?  I know I did.

And yes, tomatoes and peppers and coconut .  . . oh my!

Thanks for all the congrats!!!  I'm still bouncing off the walls!  And yes, I wen straight to the Type Base

Let's see.....
coconut/coconut milk!
mango
bananas
tomatoes
peppers
cottage cheese
scallops
halibut!
navy, kidney and pinto beans
sweet potato
chocolate!
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

Mrs. Rodgers and other A nonnies--can you share some basic daily menus?

I'm so happy!!!!

Not an A nonnie, but an O nonnie...one quick fix recipe I like to share is mashed bananas with either hard boiled eggs (mashed) or soft easy over eggs cooked in ghee and some walnuts, a dribble of EVOO.  Mash and mix altogether.  If you have some Harmonia...that makes it beneficial and extra yummilicious.  Been throwing in a chopped avocado (for chunkiness) lately and does the trick of being filling for quite some time.    A ripe mango works really well also.   If you get adventuresome...you can through in sardines instead of the egg.

Debra

P.S.  Does not necessarily have to be for breakfast.

I'm an A and I don't like waiting for anything (lines simply drive me crazy) yet I waited (procrastination) and finally sent in my secretor test about two weeks ago.  

Can't wait (lol) for the results!


Joy

debra!
that sounds like quite a creation!! lol

Yes! another A nonnie, welcome aboard.

Whoa Debra!!!!  I thought my Romaine & kale salad with pine nuts and raisins with nutritional yeast, olive oil and lemon was on the edge  *wink*  

Thanks, everyone!

purlgirl, what do you eat all day?

What do you want to be, joy?  

Tonight I had sweet onions sautéed in olive oil with zucchini and tomatoes (from my garden) seasoned with a clove of garlic, and herbs from my garden - basil, thyme and rosemary.  I also made some sticky rice (just a Japanese short grain sushi rice) and had some leftover turkey.  A plum for dessert, and a glass of red wine (beneficial!) to wash it down.

Do I feel deprived?  No Way!

Thanks!  What time's dinner?  

Well, I have to watch the grains.  They're OK in small amounts in the morning ala oat bran.


If I'm a nonnie, I'll be happy about tomatoes.  Always used to enjoy New Jersey tomatoes when living in New York.  There must be alot of nutrients in the soil in New Jersey.  Absolutely delicious.

I have to look further into the secretor/non-secretor foods for Type A.  Where did you look in the Typebase to get a specific listing?

Anyway, I'll find out soon.

You have to look foods up one at a time on the website because of copyright issues. If you want to see a non-secretor list then look at LR4YT or one of the other new books.

MoDon,

Thanks, I didn't think there was a list for secretor status on typebase.  I will definitely look at LR4YT.

Hi Joy!  Like Don said, just look at the type base under a specific food and after you click on it, all the types come up and the secretor/non properties show.  Very handy but the going back and forth takes time.

I put the name of each food group on index/recipe card, along with an avoid, neutral and beneficial column, then clicked on the foods I know I'll eat to get their status--it's all at my fingertips, now!  I'm really excited to be a nonnie, as you can tell!  

Hey Scout,
I don't want to spoil your god temper but I must say that I'am not so glad to be a nonnie! Sorry .
The thing is, we do have to look after ourselves very much more than the other "normal A's"
We have more problems with our teeth. I more often do catch a cold and (of cause) I do get all the illnesses wich are around. If -  I don't be very careful .So let me recommend Noni (Morinda Citrfolica) for a better immune system and as a shield especialy against cancer. Just take a Chi Gong training or Joga will be o.k. The BTD is quite different for nonnies. Take more albumen if you are overweight
(I am) God luck for you and never mind I didn't want to bother you - just a short warning . All the best

Welcome to the table Scout!

Don't be discouraged, Scout or Pen.  I rarely catch anything.  Maybe the BTD and homeopathics have strengthened my constitution.  If I feel like I'm coming down with something, I may take homeopathic Bryonia, definitely BioAstin (astaxanthin) and up my C.  I'm pretty compliant with the diet all the time.  
 
My main problem is fatigue if I eat out.  Who knows what you are getting even if you think you are ordering compliant food.
And it's very hard not to eat those chips at Mexican restaurants!!

I'm 52 years old and I have never been healthier. I've been on the nonsecretor diet at least 5 years.
