Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Great post. I agree about wheat making other foods difficult to digest, for me it was converted white rice. I reacted to it quite violently, and strangely it was just that one type of rice. After giving up wheat I was fine with the ol' Uncle Ben's rice once more.

Guest guest Posted September 19, 2004 Report Share Posted September 19, 2004 Leanne - would it be ok if I took this post of yours and make it a " sticky " post on my BB? This is a great post, one that has the potential to " " help " " people who are new to the BTD ABO Specifics Inc. - http://www.foodforyourblood.com Type B/lactose intolerant I have a friend who is a type B. She is the one who told me about the blood type diet in the first place. I was desperately looking for a cure for my allergies so I jumped in whole hog. She however majorly dragged her feet. She tried convincing me that she couldn't have dairy. She had been lactose intolerant ever since she could remember. At that time I had just started the diet so I had nothing to " fight " back with. More experience to fall back on. I did the diet for about 6 months and during that time period I noticed that if I ever ate any kind of wheat products, this includes white flour, and meat at the same time I would have mild heart problems. It would hurt to take deep breaths. I'd had this problem for many years but I blamed it on the meat. We ate a vegetarian diet and whenever I would eat meat I would have problems. So after watching this cycle, which I tested a few times, I was pretty sure that it was the wheat causing the problems. I finally thought that I had something conclusion that I could hand to my friend. We had moved by this time so I sent her an e-mail telling her what I had discovered and thought that perhaps whe wouldn't have a lactose intolerance if she were to eliminate wheat/white flour and corn from her diet. Well, I finally convinced her to try it. She said that she would give it a two week trial period. To my knowledge that two weeks has stretched into nearly 4 years! After she took wheat out of her diet she was able to eat all of the dairy listed that was ok for her to eat. And she never got a runny nose or other symptoms from eating dairy. Made me down right jealous! Oh well, a life without dairy isn't so bad. I would rather feel good, than to just have my taste buds tickled all the time! So anyway, perhaps your brother-in-law would be open to giving it a try. Sometimes people who are facing a life or death situation such as cancer are something willing to give anything a try. Espceially after experiencing Chemo! Hope this helps! Leanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I plan to tell a type B friend of mine about it as she also thinks she is lactose intolerant. And now I wonder! .....IRene. > I have a friend who is a type B.
