Cabbages give you gas or bloating? Yes, sadly not everyone can eat cabbage without feeling gassy or bloated. Pegs completely relates! First try eating cabbages cooked or raw in small amounts to build up your tolerance as well as try blanching cabbage first so the raw roughage becomes easier for your body to digest. Consistently eating a new food or introducing it in smaller quantities, helps with digestion. And one final thought is that you may also need to check on your over all gut health. If you’re experiencing bloating and gas a lot, you may need to check for leaky gut or SIBO. If you have any questions please reach out. We’d love to help!
