Hi Linda, good to see you here. As you can see I'm a Gatherer, but my hubby is a Hunter. Our son is also a Hunter and our daughter is a Gatherer like me. I don't know what their secretor status' are.
There is such a wealth of information on this site. I know it's really helped me stick with this way of eating. I especially appreciate it when I'm out of town and away from my regular routine.(like I have been for the last month). I'm really glad I invested in the laptop to keep me connected. |

Thanks BCgal...and O in Virginia..I'm grateful too for the information. And excited to have my status, and understand some more about why I am so sensitive to so many things, it's almost like when I found out I was sensitive to gluten...each piece of the puzzle is as important as the other in order to make it whole. I hope to be whole again...  Now I know why I have such a problem with leaky gut... From here: http://www.dadamo.com/program_advanced_secretor.htmThe lack of IgA antibodies perhaps explains the link between non-secretor status and an increased frequency of heart valve problems secondary to bacteria infection. Because IgA functions much like the way a rampart or palisade wall protects a town from invasion, most if not all non-secretors have problems with gut permiability ("leaky gut"). |

Wow. I read that title and immediately in my head heard what sounded like a group of about 50 people saying, "Hi, Linda"  Welcome from a non-nonnie! |

haha...no we're not!! Thanks Victoria...This explains so much. In my personal life I know few people who feel the way I do, so it's nice to know that I'm not alone. I even feel like an oddball within my own family, they made better recovery's when they got off gluten, and even though I made huge improvements, I still have lingering issues, and now I know why. Glad to know you all and to be a part of this special club!!  |

Hello O Nonnie! The more I read here, the more I have insight about myself. I was told by a friend/conventional Dr. that al lmy symptoms of poor digestion, headaches, lack of energy etc etc are not in fact allergies, because TRUE allergies are only to proteins. In fact I'm concluding that the label "Allergy" or "intolerance" doesn't really matter. It is just NOW that I am beginning to relate these symptoms to being a nonnie! And they are non existent if I follow the diet. |
| I love dogs and turtles, bird watching, canoeing, cooking for friends and family, knitting, reading, and DR. D's diets! |

Hi Poppy, Yes, I too have gained a lot of insight from the others here, and I do think there's something to that for sure. I come from a large family and I'm pretty much the only one who is like this...though I do have a brother who might be a bit like me, not to the extreme but more-so than the others. I gave him all of the information and hope he gets tested. I think he's listening to me, but the rest are probably shaking their heads...oh well  Ok so when you say that if you follow the diet they are non existent....Does that mean that those foods are on your list of avoids, or that the diet has improved your tolerance of the ones that you were intolerant of? I agree that the terminology/label doesn't really matter, the end result is the same, (barring a true allergic reaction that can be very serious of course).  |

Quoted from 14428
In my personal life I know few people who feel the way I do, so it's nice to know that I'm not alone. I even feel like an oddball within my own family, they made better recovery's when they got off gluten, and even though I made huge improvements, I still have lingering issues, and now I know why. 
Welcome to the nonnie club, Linda! I often felt very different from my family, with the exception of my DH and DD's. They all think I'm crazy for evaluating my health all the time. Once I discovered the BTD/GTD and found out my secretor status it all made sense and my health issues have improved so much. Now if I could just get my family on board with it all...????  |
