Ok I have been doing some research as to why some people's pH won't budge and why some do easily.  We all know about the alkaline diet and the alkaline food chart and the acidic food chart.  Eat off the alkaline food and you pH goes up; eat of the acidic and it goes down.  Well foods don't work for all people.  Like pineapple- it is acidic for some but alkaline for others?  Why is this?  Well there is a subgroup under the alkaline diet called the blood type diet.  This diet digs deeper for people who's pH isn't working as it should and shows what foods aren't working for them and what might work.  Here is a link to the blood type diet:

(if that link doesnt work try this one: http://www.uoregon.edu/~sshapiro/ER4YT/FoodLists_TOC.html )

Click on your blood type and you will see what food are alkaline for you and what ones are acidic for you.  Now with this diet, you must compare it to first the gender diet, then the alkaline diet and then the blood type diet- so this might be really tricky for some people.  Let me know if you need help.  Also for those ttc a boy here is a cheat sheet:

Type O's - Avoid apple juice, it's a stomach irritant for you.  Any dark red, blue or purple fruit is very alkalizing except for blackberries (don't know why)  Pineapple juice is the best, most alkalizing juices for you.

Interesting, I am O+ and have always been lactose-intolerant.  Ever since I was a child, haven't liked drinking milk, but with chocolate I can.  My dad was the same way.  Is there any hope for a girl with the high in calcium diet with my blood type?

Yes.  According to the blood type diet to ttc a girl you should try eating fish (fish is acidic, and has calcium), yogurts (can you eat this?) nuts like Brazil, cashew, Beans are big- full of calcium but will make you acidic, and corn. So try concentrating on these things while still using the girl diet and see how your pH goes.  Also drinks with Aspartame in it will lower you pH

Great (sarcasm).  I remember this diet.  My parents went on it for like a year or more.  Luckily our whole family was an O blood type, but I hated it.  No dairy products only soy milk.  And lots of meat.  It was around the same time my Mom gave our microwave away because she read something bad about it.  My parent's always go on weird health kicks.  My DH is also an O blood type, so all of our kids are as well.  I don't think any of them would be happy if I said we couldn't have dairy or grains anymore.  LOL!  And lots of meat, fish, fruits, and vegetables!  I'm sure we would lose weight and our pH would go up though. 

I definitely printed out the Blood diet for my blood type (O) and am keeping it with all my other printouts from this website.  I am going to try the boy diet at first since I will have a few months before we actually ttc.  If I cannot raise my Ph (if it needs to be), I will refer back to this diet and hopefully it works!

Thanks for all your research on this topic!!

Well you said your pH is stuck!  Maybe this is the reason why?  Maybe you should just go on it and see what happens?  What about your dh pH is it suck to?

I went on the blood type diet to lose weight once.  It is very interesting...didn't work for weight loss (for me)...but I did feel good!....LOL.

This is very interesting!!! I'm blood type B which says is one of the few types that can enjoy dairy but no tomatoes which also relates well with the girl diet. Thanks Redcin!

hi redcin

as you said that Carrot, celery, grape, and papaya juices are be best for AB. i am AB+ so how would if i have carrots, grapes and papaya as a whole fruit instead of juice . do you think that will make any difference?

I am B+ and this means that I do not process tomatoes and tomatoe juice well, but this is one of the top boy foods/drinks. What do I do? I have been drinking v8 juice like its going out of style. Should I switch to pineapple, grape and papaya juice instead and lay off the v8?

My midwife was into this diet and tried to get us to try it while I was pregnant with J. But I am O+, my husband is AB+, J is B+, and R is either A or B+. I can see playing around with this if everyone in the family is the same blood type, but there is no way we are preparing 3-4 different meals every time we need to eat!

No you aren't putting your entire family on it.  This is just for you if your pH won't budge.  You can try to go on it yourslef

This is interesting.  My Ph would not budge.  I am blood tipe O and I eat a lot of alpha alpha, potato and avocado. I am on strict diet for 5-6 weeks and supplements for 8 weeks. I don't eat junk food,dairy, drink soft drinks or use sugar. I stopped drinking coffee as well.

My Ph is  still 4.5 (darn it!) Strips are constantly yellow!

I am also taking BS drinks ( 2Lb box almost empty)

I tried lemon water but there was no change.

Alpha alpha, potato and avocado are faworable items on the boy diet but on  "should be awoided" list for O blood tipe diet.

I don't know what to do.  Should I stop taing them.  Don't we take alpha alpha to alkalinize our body?  Why is no no for tipe O people?

I would feel better If I had just a little improvement.  A little bit of green would make my heart sing.

I am wondering if anyone elsewho is O blood tipe has a problem raising PH on the boy diet?

And by the way I can name just one dark blue, red or purple fruit other then blueberry: prune.

What else we have left?
