sorry, I meant to say it could explain why he hasn't lost weight AND why cutting

out wheat & dairy are helpful. My curiosity is killing me... I'm thinking he

might be AB as his mom (and MD) always was talking about universal

donor/universal recipient, and saying one was him, but couldn't ever seem to

remember which way it went (and which of her kids were what).

Chicken, turkey, fish, salads. My kids are As. Takes some planning when

they visit.

AB is universal recipient - and O neg is universal donor.

I am O neg and I can;t tell you how often I am mistyped. I used to

donate blood before mine became unacceptable and I often had to tell

them to re-type....

for what it's worth.

So if hubby is O neg - your test for your daughter is likely wrong - and

I'd suggest getting her typed at a blood bank.

I have not used the people test cards - I do use blood type kits for

cats, and there is a LOT of technique involved in getting a good test

result. The temperature matters, the drop size matters, timing matters,

and the way you " rock " the sample matters. IT can go wrong very easily

if your test system is anything like the feline one.

I must have wasted a lot of money getting the technique right to make

my home testing reliable on new kittens.

I test because I am a breeder and it is essential to know if you have a

type B or AB queen with type A kittens in cats (same problem as

mismatched Rh factor in people, you get neonatal erythrolysis and the

kittens die within 24 hrs).

A, B and AB are the feline blood types and they are NOT like people A, B

and AB at all. It should be P, Q, and R probably :-)

Hope you solve your puzzle!

So, my dh used my other test card tonight and types out as A-, not O-. That

would certainly explain my dd being A+ (as I am O+). But he was so certain that

he was O-. We will ask his mom to check his medical records to make sure. This

sure throws me for a loop as I was sure all three of us were Os and only ds was

the wildcard as we don't know his birthfather's blood type.

Dh is excited to reclaim coffee and sour cream, is taking the loss of beef

better than I thought he would, but we both realize how much this blood type

diet has become part of our lives by how dazed we are by the whole thing.

Anyone know a good source of meals that are A/O compatable? And ways to make

soy/tofu taste like beef ?

My mom and were both A+. I am O+. Why wouldn't two O adults produce an A

child? Am I just not understanding this? Are there websites to teach this

in a simple way?

Thanks,

It's not complicated but someone has the wrong type somewhere in the

example that was on the list - probably form mistyping in a test, which

happens more than one might expect.

Two O adults can not produce an A.

O represents " no antigen " as in zero = O

Every person has two genes and a person with O blood has two O genes.

So each parent of O type can ONLY give the kids an O gene. One comes

from each parent at random.

My dad was type A but had a type O parents - so his genes were O and A.

physically he was type A - but genetically he had A and O.

So HIS kids might get his O gene and might get his A gene. In fact I go

his O and my brother got an A. My mother was O so had two O genes and we

each got an O from her.

So I have OO genes - type O blood with no antigens;

and my brother has AO genes - type A blood with A antiogens.

Someone with AB blood has AB genes (one of each) and has A and B

antigens in the blood.

So two parents with no genes for any antigen - type O - obviously can

not have a child with antigen production of either A or B or AB as the

parents did not have the genes to pass to any kids.

The only way a child of two O parents can have A or B blood is if

mamma was messing about with someone else.....as was my own

mother-in-law, who produced one son who " arrived early " with all the

" wrong " genes for blood type, brown eyes and brown curly hair included -

all not possible from the supposed two tall with long straight blond

hair and blue eyes type O parents.

Boy did I put my foot in it when I assumed everyone else saw what was

obvious and asked who his dad was!

Namaste,

IRene

Thank you. I think I will save my brain cells for remembering which beans I

can and can't eat!! You've got a good brain there! I wish I knew what type

my husband is. I suspect AB but maybe B. Definitely not A or O.

Blessings,
