Janieg, I read the book a long time ago (about the same time as Your Body Knows Best). I have type B blood, and was very interested, in the whole idea. (I don't know if I am a secretor or not).

According to Dr. D'Adamo I shouldn't be eating chicken...only turkey or wild fowl.

I do know that citrus is a trigger for me... so I stopped all citrus with some improvements in my arthritis. (but not 100%). So I have to take Vit C to replace what I don't get from juice and oranges.
Because of my HAE (hereditary angioedema) and malrotation of the GI tract (congenital)I have always had GI disturbances. But the Candida Cleanse I did recently has been very helpful. I can only take CurcuBrain in pulses with rests because everyday for a while will set off my GI thing. But the CurcuBrain is working nicely too even with the rests.

I am interested in the lectins... these peptide markers on food, seem likely culprits in food intolerances. I can eat black beans in moderation (not every day) but I have never been able to tolerate those kidney red beans! Whether it is the lectins or something else going on, I just don't know. I just avoid things that set me off.

I did enjoy that link you put up the other day, about low carb eating... 25grams a day is really difficult to maintain, though.

I read the book a long time ago as well. Wasn't sure what to make of it.

I've never noticed any food sensitivities, but I'm really trying to pay more attention to what I'm doing/eating good days, bad days-wise. The only thing I know for sure right now is I definitely do better when it's warm. We're in a cold snap right now, and the difference is amazing.

Yes, the 20g - 25g I see recommended so often is not terribly realistic for me on a daily basis. I'm probably near that on some days, but nowhere close on others. I think my doctor's recommendation of 60 g/day is more realistic, and I'm doing a lot more of "eating to my meter" testing right now. I've been pleasantly surprised how little some carbs are raising my blood sugar, so my carb consumption is creeping up.

Health girl? Please respond I really need to hear how u r doing and to find out what u r eating. I'm soo desperate right niw

If you want to try a ketogenic or cyclic ketogenic diet, pick up Dr. Terry Wahls book.
