If you have a thyroid disorder, take warfarin, or regularly experience significant digestive symptoms after eating cabbage, discuss your diet with a healthcare professional before making major changes.
The Bottom Line
Cabbage is a nutritious vegetable, but more is not always better for everyone.
Be particularly mindful if you:
-
- Have a thyroid or iodine-related condition
- Have IBS or a sensitive digestive system
- Take warfarin
- Consistently experience bloating or other digestive symptoms after eating cabbage
For everyone else, moderate portions of cabbage can be a simple and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
