I love seeing all the A nonnies. comaraderie

Scout - try making a smoothie w/ mango, banana and coconut milk. Or curry sweet potato baked fries. yummy

We get a lot of great stuff for giving up corn!

Quoted from zola

I use coconut milk occasionally to make a curry sauce (with simmered sweet potato chunks & steamed broccoli put in at the end of cooking) or in the mango smoothie with pineapple juice. Be sure to get the real stuff without additives - even 'natural' stuff has gums in it to thicken it. There are handy small single serve cans available. Try an asian market or the ethnic part of the supermarket.

Fresh coconut is very alkaline (good esp. for A's). Crack open the coconut (take off the brown outer shell and peel the brown outer covering off. Tap the coconut and drain off the juice through one of the 3 natual holes in the end, saving the juice. Break it into chunks and send it through the food processor/shredder. to get "milk" mix the juice with the shredded meat and press it through a sieve. It is really good and the meat makes it sweet. (Overindulging in fresh coconut juice leads to diarrhea so beware.) You could even lightly simmer the juice and shredded meat together  before pressing it to get more out of the shreds.

I've made a fresh coconut pie 'crust' before with ground almonds and coconut oil. it was a no bake chocolate pie where the cream was make from avocado (also alkaline) mixed with melted dark chocolate. It was very rich but good - and made to share

Quoted from ISA-MANUELA

Quoted from purlgirl

A- nonnie    Yes! that sounds wonderful.


Coconut - hum- I was so excited. But I still don't have any idea what all that stuff means.  It's a no no for everyone but A nonnies BUT .................there is this problem..............
I had just returned from the HFS with "raw organic coconut butter". I read that there is a problem.  Soooooo the jar sits on the counter unopened.  I am a perfect example of an A. Totally insecure and easily derailed. O well life goes on. Ha , another A specialty - go with the flow.   Right!
I feel kinda nutty. But     I do love my A program. wouldn't eat any other way.

The wonderful/awful thing is I think my sis is going to join us ---- --another A. Nonnie no doubt.

Quoted from scout

Is there an A-Nonnie ClubHouse somewhere on this forum?
If not, there needs to be

Quoted from ironwood55

The reason there is a Nonnie Clubhouse is because Dr. D has stated something like that nonnies probably have more in common with each other then they do with their ABO secretor counterparts.

Therefore, ABO specific nonnie clubhouses wouldn't serve nonnies trying to learn about their common traits.

Quoted from lola

thought of doing a serotype test yet?
you might be an A1 or an A2

Quoted Text

-LIVE RIGHT pages 356-357
The distinction between whether one is A1 of A2 (and consequently A1B or A2B) is done by testng the blood with a solution containing a lectin from the plant Dolichos biflorus/  Dolichos biflorus lectin reacts more strongly with A1 red blood cells than with A2 cells.

Quoted from scout

If I did, what would the outcome mean, in general?

Quoted from scout

I'm A+ is that my RH factor?
 

Quoted from scout

That's what I thought, thanks.
I was born a month premature in 1952--almost died because of the RH factor--white blood count went way down, etc. I was taken to the Children's Hospital in Seattle by my doctor's nurse, in his car, where my life was saved.  
But baby, look at me now!!!!!!  I grew up to be 5' 8" tall and pretty darned healthy, too!
