Digestive problems
The abundant fiber in cabbage acts as a very effective intestinal broom. While it can provide relief for sluggish transit, it can turn into a real storm for fragile or irritated intestines.
People suffering from chronic digestive disorders (such as irritable bowel syndrome) should instead turn to more easily digestible vegetables such as cooked spinach or green beans, which are less aggressive on the intestinal mucosa.
For people with allergies or eye problems
Contrary to popular belief, food allergies do not only affect nuts or seafood. Cabbage, especially when fermented (as in sauerkraut), can trigger reactions similar to hay fever: sneezing, itchy eyes, runny nose.
