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? |

"Dick knows his because of the military back ground and I know mine A rh + from having the children.
Can say I've heard of different diets for blood types. "
Google has many weird and wonderful things.. |

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? |

Thats correct, unless its plasma then that has to be the righ groups, not sure why, its the universal blood group. |

"I'm O+ and thus a universal donar , but can only have my own type back  "
No thats o- you can receive o- and o+ but only give to positive blood groups, negative blood cannot have positive blood. |

"I would suggest linking blood group to eating a particular diet is just pseudo science and a waste of time. "
It may be but its a curiosity to see if it does ring true, to be fair potatoes and starch do actually make me quite ill |

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 |

my body keeps iron which destroys the organs so dilution is the only treatment and only way to do this is take blood off |

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. |

If ever there is a risk of transfusion needed during the op they check in pre op. If your dr doesnt know the hospitals pre op clinic may do |
