These blood type A reactions have been with me since I was born, and long before I developed chronic illness and the specific heightened reactions such as I'm dealing with in relation to this thread.I have the same issue, and the heavier the protein the better the sleep. What are the "worst reactions" that are "nonos for type A" that you experience?
Cow milk - mucus, congestion. But I digest goat milk just fine. So this was a major breakthrough for me and I owe that to Dadamo.
Orange - heartburn and an immune reaction.
Melons - Mouth ulcers.
Vinegar - Mucus, immune reaction.
Tomato - Heartburn, immune reaction.
Actually looking at the full Avoid List for Blood Type A, and with the exception of meats which I react fine to, nearly everything on the avoid is something I naturally have always hated and have always made me full worse in the above mentioned ways. It's damn spot on.
That said, it's Beneficial list I never found very helpful. Perhaps, if I didn't have Crohn's disease, things would be different. Because many of the beneficial foods are Crohn's kryptonite. That said, long before I wad diagnosed with Crohn's, I did eat roughly a Blood Type A diet, and enjoyed excellent health: chicken, lentils, rice, salmon, tofu, garlic, olive oil, pineapple. All my favorite foods, too.
I've had to force myself to become a beef eater, due to circumstance. But once I did carnivore for a couple weeks, I've craved red meat ever since.Gut bacteria must have changed.
