Fancymom - Opposites must truly attract since my DH and I are the opposite of y'all...He's "O" and I'm "A"! LOL... It's kind of like my kids at the school where I work in the guidance department, most of them are ESE, with emotional/behavioral disabilities...after 20 years doing this, if I had the money to write a grant, I think I could prove they all have allergies - it's all the mind/body/gut(other mind) connection. Anyway, as for the book, I've read it, put it away, re-read it...I just vascillate because I've had it ingrained in me for years not to eat pasta or bread becauses of the candidasis, but that's what Type A's are supposed to eat and I seem to do better eating all the SF foods Heather recommends - bagels and applesauce are my staples. Basically, I believe he's right - I just have to get my mind set. It's hard when you can't eat this because of diverticulosis, you can't eat that because of the candidiasis, plus no nightshade veggies, almost no fat - now add on-going dental surgery (difficult chewing)! Woo-Hoo! BUT...I think after many of the posts I've read on here, many people already follow the basic Type A diet - as you said, soy for protein, maybe one egg a week and chicken once a week...certain veggies, pastas,breads...The doctor who wrote it is Type A and his wife is Type O! It's quite an interesting book in that he explains why not to eat certain vegetables too. I haven't tried tofu - so if anyone has any suggestions, I "think" I'm open!
