FabSwingers.com forum: Blood Types

So as I have a fairly rare bloody type of A Negative I was looking into bloods and stories about them..

Apparently as an A negative I shouldnt eat any nightshade veg which is potatos, tomatoes, chillis, peppers and another I cant remember.

Also that I am a descendent of fallen angels (well lucifer is one so makes sense for me)

Has anyone else come across these for their blood group, do you follow any dietary advice for them and exactly how many know what their blood group is?

O negative, apparently new born babies can have my blood and accident and emergency people can have my blood without knowing what their blood group is. Think that's right, think it's anyone can have my blood but I have to have other o negative blood?

No thats o- you can receive o- and o+ but only give to positive blood groups, negative blood cannot have positive blood.

I'm much rarer with AB negative

Someone once suggested about blood groups and foods, in particular about mucous production and that the A's, A's and AB's tend to produce more.

I did some reading around but there is little substantiated eveidence that eating specific foods can make any difference.

It's a disease that causes too much iron to build up in your body. I guess it's like the opposite of anemia

Typically you cant find out from a blood test, usually only pregnancy, major ops and blood donation is the way too

Dax is AB neg which is super rare which means I do worry if he ever needs a transfusion.

Also means he is RH negative so a seriously decressed chance of problems with genetic conditions being passed on when we have kids

I'm A positive and just had a quick google and found out something I didn't know.

A ppsdotivd is a very common blood type and basically people with a positive bloody types are more likely to have weight issues because we can't metabolise fat and protein as well as any other blood type and we convert carbohydrates into sugars at an higher metabolic rate than other blood types

Does explain a lot for me as I always gain weight if I overdose on the carbs, no wonder, as it sounds like I'd be better off eating a spoonful of sugar than eating carbs

I have to have blood tests regularly as I'm on warfarin as I had a blood clot on ma lung (pulmonary embolism) 11 years ago and because ma bone marrow makes too many red blood cells I occasionally have to have a venesection which involves a pint of blood being drained from my already week and feeble body (I call it a vampire session

)

I still haven't got a clue what my blood type is after all these years

AB Negative here. There was a huge thing back in the day about blood group diets as Martine McCutcheon ( who was popular at the time) was advocating one.

I didn't look into it personally but each to their own.

i know someone with this. they don't have to donate as much as you but theirs is used when they live in other countries and not disposed of, only in the UK they chuck it.
