- Do you have certain ailments or chronic diseases that seem to be a mystery and hard to treat? Or, are you particularly sensitive to certain textures (like polyester or latex) and environmental irritants? Knowing your secretor status (secretor vs. non-secretor) will give you some insights into such mysteries and inform your decisions on the kinds of food you eat to minmize symptoms or prevent certain diseases.

Great job clarifying this "state of affairs"!! Thank you for making this video!! 😊
I am a blood type A, non-secretor - explorer. Most persistent problem for me is when I eat whole grains/beans/nuts/seeds and have had massive cavities/root canals, etc all my life until I figured this out just recently, even though I had the non-secretor results in 2011. There isn't much info out there, but I have figured out that fermenting of whole grains/beans, etc. seem to remove a majority of the phytic acid that isn't digested in the intestine due to no bifida bacteria there, unlike secretors. This information was part of ancient knowledge that everyone utilized up until more recent times. So, the issue is more about evolution of technology which has disadvantages for people of this genetic variation. But even secretors can suffer from lack of nutrients when food is not fermented properly to break down the phytic acid which is protecting the seed.
The biggest protective effect you might get with your teeth is eating most of your food raw (if you can). Cooked food sticks to things, like pots, pans, and dishes. Especially cooked grains. I believe they affected me in this way also being a non-secretor and with the cavities.
I have noticed a small reduction in plaque buildup since i started eating mostly raw. And noticed a drop in gas production cutting out the cooked foods. Some people cannot handle/breakdown the toxins formed on them properly. I found out i had issues with them in part through trial and error and experimenting with a steamer. The shorter the steam cook, the less toxic my bodies reaction was, the better i typically felt. I'd get the runs with some foods if they were cooked longer. Wouldn't happen if steamed only for a short time.
Apparently you can find out now if your body struggles with certain cooked foods with an overview of your rs markers/SNPs from your genomic results like 23andMe etc. If you ever find yourself still struggling, speak to the team at the Center for Generative Medicine and they will look in to it for you and with any existing genetic/ancestry raw data results you have you can send in. This video chat with the BTD author's daughter, Emily D'Adamo provides more information: ruclips.net/video/oWVvUQshMWY/видео.html
@@NeoNine10 OK, so I am assuming when you say "raw" food, you are talking about fruits and vegetables? The problem with eating just fruits and vegetables is that you do not get the critical minerals and amino acids that you need in a sufficient quantity to regulate your body, including the teeth. We need both categories of food in my opinion. Grains and beans were always soaked/sprouted/fermented traditionally, as Weston A. Price has documented. A good book to check out is Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon Morrel. It's not really that difficult to ferment, just put the beans/grains in a big jar of water with whey/ACV/kombucha/kefir culture (1 tbsp per cup of beans, etc) and let it soak for 3 to 5 days. I have even cultured rolled oats, which having been heat treated, are devoid of phytase, the enzyme that breaks down the phytic acid. I simply put rye culture (which has loads of phytase naturally) either a sourdough rye starter, or freshly ground rye berry flour into the jar with the oats and water. In 1 or 2 days, the oats are good to go, and they are delicious. I have not had any problems with my teeth since starting this regime. My teeth start hurting me immediately when I am eating foods with phytic acid. This has not happened since starting the fermenting process. I highly recommend you look into it - or, I can supply some good videos and information on it for you. We the non-secretors, need to create more groups for us, since nobody else cares, since they do not understand. We are the ones that will help each other. Blessings, dear sister.
Years ago, I found out my secretor status:
Secretor per saliva sample, however, double Lewis negative, (approximately 6% of the U.S. population).
My blood type is "A Positive", (A+), (approximately 35% of the U.S. population).
Thank you!
Where can I get a list of non secretor type A foods?
Basically, phytic acid is the problem. So, whole grains/beans/nuts/seeds are a major problem, unless you ferment them first, which will remove a majority of the phytic acid.

Thanks for this. Though i haven't had any tests to confirm my secretor status or blood type, i suspect i am a non-secretor as my body doesn't digest animal protein well. And the nonnie foods for type A in particular sit with my digestive system better, making me pretty much a vegetarian.
Foods made out of sugar as their ingredient seems to give me some acid reflux, and if i eat the yellow variety of wheat pasta without the brown layer, i'm not the best on the toilet the next morning. Whereas secretors i believe can have them, just not wheat with the bran. I'm also caffeine and pesticide sensitive with a suspected intolerance to salicylates. I remember once eating organic pears with their skin and fell deathly ill, and red grapes made me feel just as bad. Pineapple gave me a skin-peeling rash around my mouth, and red wine makes me irritable. All of which are suspected to contain some form of salicylic acid.
I also do better with more natural clothing. I hated wearing jeans when i was a kid, and today i find bamboo socks irritate my skin less than regular socks. Coarse fabrics still feel uncomfortable against my skin tho, and i never thought to relate that to secretor status. The world is generally more toxic to us it seems, but we make up for it with some other foods we can have which don't agglutinate our blood.
Though i haven't met someone i know who is a type O nonnie, curious to know if they too have the difficulties digesting animal protein despite their supposedly higher levels of stomach acid? So not all O's are supposed to eat meat?
Wonder could an O person get away with being vegetarian perhaps as long as they only eat the neutral and beneficial plants? They can still have eggs and butter too as well as nuts and avocado for their protein and fat needs, unless there is something in meat the plant kingdom doesn't have or not enough of.
We definitely do need to encourage more vegetarianism where possible as long as correct calorie and nutrient requirements are covered. But i get as some people like Dr Jordan Peterson and her daughter have discovered with them having followed the carnivore diet for years, that may not be practical for everybody if trying a new food makes them sick with a long recovery time if it doesn't work out.
Hi, thanks for sharing your observations of your own physical reactions to certain foods and materials. I would strongly suggest taking the secretor test or finding out through genetic raw data if you have them. Many people have, in the past, believed they were of a certain secretor status, only to be the opposite upon testing.
I'd also like to clarity some details about Type A secretors vs. non-secretors. Non-secretors actually can benefit more from a bit of animal protein and have a lot more choices than secretors.
As for Type O onnies, of which I am one, I have absolutely no trouble digesting animal protein. In fact, I thrive on it.
Regarding whether Type Os can "get away" with being a vegetarian, this is a contentious issue. I have come across many Type Os over the years who report having chronic health issues as a result of eating a vegetarian or vegan diet. If you search in my archive there is a video about the Vegan Diet vs. Blood Type Diet (ruclips.net/video/TxXIll4qId8/видео.html), which sheds some light on this issue. Can they "get away" with it? Well, there are individuals who can, and report having brilliant health. So I won't dismiss their experience. If someone is committed to a certain diet based on their own moral choices, it is their free choice to do so. But if they experience severe setbacks in their health, it would be helpful to explore eating meat as an option. "The Yoga of Eating" by Charles Eisenstein is a book that I would recommend if someone is struggling with the guilt of eating meat. It provides a comprehensive view of human history, the food chain, and the ancient spiritual practices of hunting for food.
I would also check out Diana Roger's work (sustainabledish.com). She discusses the flawed arguments among vegans and proposes more holistic solutions to today's horrible agricultural practices, including feed lot/factor farms and monoculture. The alternative is regenerative agriculture, which equally respects livestock, the environment and the nutritional needs of human beings.
@@EatRightChefLouisa it seems to me upon research, experimenting with how my body reacts to foods, and listening and reading of others experiences with BTD, it’s much more of a genetic and per individual thing the animal protein tolerance.
One gene might be turning up the volume of enzyme and stomach acid secretion slightly higher than in another A for example regardless of secretor status.
Though to put into perspective, it’s more of being along a spectrum of what a blood type might let us do and where you are along that band.
I seem to be on the lower or perhaps not at all can tolerate meat end since i have such a history of digestive issues surrounding meat (even from just one small portion with days of no meat in between), and even used to get rectal bleeding which is said to be a sign of a lack of plants in the diet and perhaps too much meat. (the rabbit diet person)
Meanwhile it seems like for O’s (who i thought i was actually, but my growing digestive intolerance symptoms to flesh of things once living made me think otherwise), they too fall along a spectrum, though i know a little less about them in some ways.
Seems like some have to eat more of a cat or lion diet and perhaps little to no carbs/plant fiber, meanwhile other O’s can be more omnivore and others vegan, but still eat the occasional meat if they want to and not get sick. A’s on the other hand are still advised to get most of their protein from plants.
@@NeoNine10 Yes, bioindividuality is really important. Even with the same blood type, everyone under that blood type will have different responses and assimilation of different kinds of food. That's why Dr. D'Adamo has the software SWAMI for creating your personalized food list. That is one of the more precise ways to tailor your diet so that you can choose foods that turn on the "good" genes and mute the "bad" genes. It seems to me that you can't tolerate animal protein, and you might be a Type A Secretor in that case. But again, a test is the best way to find out. And yes, Type As thrive mostly from a diet close to the vegetarian diet, but beneficial oil and some fish would enhance vitality and long-term health.
@@EatRightChefLouisa for me i used a hair analysis test via a company called Bionetics to determine what foods i was sensitive to on more of a DNA level. More sensitive than Dr Dadamo's genotype stuff. The genotype diet made me out to be either an explorer or a teacher. A teacher since i am an ectomorph in body type (maybe slightly meso-ectomorphic), i can just about see my tendons, have a square jaw and quite wiry in the hands, but i also have chemical sensitivities like to pesticides and caffeine among maybe other reasons which is where explorer came into it. Though the doc describes explorers as muscular. Well i'm no arnie lol!
My Bionetics hair test helped a great deal for the genetic side of me tho and picked up my chemical sensitivities, but it couldn't pickup the bad blood type foods since obviously that's a different kind of test for what agglutinates the blood and what doesn't. And my hair results differed slightly to the foods that should be avoided for both teacher and explorer. It looked like males on the advanced genotype calculator were more likely to be teacher if the results i seem close to were your results and you are an A, female however it said you would be explorer. And if you are teacher you are most likely to be A, and O's looked like they weren't mentioned on the teacher spectrum. Fascinatingly, it looked like you could almost determine your blood type with this genotype calculator for this reason. Interesting huh? Almost, since apparently explorers can be any blood type.
Regarding the secretor stuff, i'm trying following the diet for type A non-secretor because that is what i currently feel best on. I seem to get along (up to this point) with mangoes and shiitake mushrooms which are bad for secretors. But when i tried fusilli wheat pasta and also meringues ate at separate times (store bought made with sugar and egg), i would get problems. Tho they were mildish symptoms or didn't last long. Acid reflux from the meringue, some toilet trouble next morning from the pasta. But nothing massive. But that signalled me to keep going with the diet i'm trialling but staying away from the meat as well from the issues i had with that.
Just a piece of tuna despite being a neutral for all blood types wouldn't go down and would feel like i'd swallowed a golf ball. Mackerel..Stool wouldn't always flush first time (a sign food isn't being broken down correctly i've heard). Tinned salmon i'd seem to get the runs mostly. Lamb apparently ok for nonnies..Wake up at night with a bad dream. Turkey, a neutral for many..It's intermittent, sometimes i'm ok but another time i'd have it and feel stuffed or might feel depressed later. Beef (and yes defo an avoid for some as doc suggests for A's) ..i'd feel like i'm peeing hot acid. Veg, fruit, nuts, grains like rice and oats tho, so far no problem. I'm a true herbivore lol.
I have heard of the Swami software, don't know a whole lot about how it works. I watched a YT video on a RUclipsr that tried it some years ago and i believe she said she gave up on following the plan for it to someone commenting. She too also got a close call between explorer and teacher i believe it was with her genotype testing and she said she did had a sensitivity to caffeine. She probably found it wasn't working well enough for her to restrict her diet more. I think she was getting a little frustrated with it so found it wasn't worth the hassle. More bad than good If that was the case i wouldn't blame her really but each to their own if it works for others. If i am continuing to improve i may not need something like that. What i'm doing will hopefully be enough.
@@NeoNine10 I understand you done a fair amount of exploring (true to your explorer nature, perhaps? ;-)) and am glad that you have arrived at a good enough solution for your needs. Keep doing whatever works for you. Yes, everybody's body is different and there are also factors that are outside of the realm of food, such as chemicals (so prevalent in our environment, air, water, clothing, etc.) and also emotional stress and lack of human connection for many, etc. Sometimes when a certain diet doesn't work, maybe the food is alright but the other factors are not taken into account. There are millions of pieces of the whole health puzzle. It's good to be an advocate for your own health! Cheers!
