Cooking cabbage can make it easier to digest and potentially cause less gas, Cabbage is high in fodmaps and there’s not much we can do to change that, so I would really recommend staying within the low FODMAP serving (3/4 cup) while in the elimination and challenge phase of the low FODMAP diet. During your challenge phase you may determine that your body tolerates cabbage pretty well, like mine. So you may decide for your maintenance diet that the appropriate amount of cabbage for you is between 1 - 1 1/2 cups of cabbage. I can often eat this amount with minimal symptoms. That’s why it’s so important to go through the elimination and challenge phase of the low FODMAP diet - it arms you with the self knowledge necessary to make informed dietary choices and helps to eliminate food fears.😉
@@gritandgroceries Sorry to say you didn't do any research before adding your post.And the only reason I didn't was,because I felt since you post recipes and this particular one about cabbage you would have had the knowledge, but clearly not. So I did my own research. If you add a Carminative herb to the cabbage whwn cooking it will draw out the gas. A whole coriander, Dill seeds, Caraway seeds, cilantro,Fennel seeds, cloves or Savory to cabbage when boiling/cooking cabbage (in chunks). But Savory can change the taste of the cabbage too much, as can cloves even though they can help cut down the gas.Adding vinegar or potatoes is another solution along with baking soda although baking soda can change the color of red cabbage. For people like myself, just cutting down the amount of cabbage does not work.I need to eliminate gas in gassy foods in order to be able to eat them.I haven't had cabbage in years. Hence my question.
@@salmontanio212 My channel and recipes are specifically focused on low fodmap diet and other therapeutic elimination diets. While I do dabble in herbology, I have not been formally educated in it, or personally used Carminative herbs as a healing modality. But thank you so much for pointing this out, I would love to read the research on carminative herbs, and test it on myself in the future. If you try it I'd love to know how it works out for you, especially since you're so sensitive to cabbage. do know that carminative herbs can be used as digestive aids, but I am confused about what exactly you mean by "draw the gas out". The low fodmap theory states that excess levels of sorbitol in cabbage are poorly absorbed in the small intestine and then move on the the large intestine and ferment causing gas. By restricting the amount of fodmaps per meal, we can stay below the threshold at which ibs symptoms occur. There are many other compounds in food that may be causing your symptoms other that fodmaps - its has a 75% success rate, not 100%. But that's also one of the reasons I really love therapeutic diets, they give people the tools to determine which foods are working for and against their bodies at a very personalized level, and whether it is due to fodmaps or not.
I love your chanel and all the creative recipes you come up with!
Thank you! Creating delicious and flavorful food is my passion!
This was great!! Reminded me of childhood
Nostalgic to its core.
i cant wait to try this meal especially the cabbage salad ! liked the cabbage mixed red and green when i went to Northwoods years ago.
Cool! Maybe I’ll make a red cabbage version too!
Can I use milk or heavy cream instead of lactoid. Don't have a lactose problem just gluten.
For sure! Either one would work. You might have to add a splash of water, if you use cream tho.👍🏻
What can be done to make the cabbage less gassy?
