Most people don\u2019t eat enough vegetables. So, why would anyone recommend avoiding them? The thing is with some people, when they increase their veggie intake, they start feeling worse. How is that possible? And what can you do about it?<\/strong>
\n<\/p>\n

Increased vegetable intake can lead to gas, bloating, pain and changes in stool frequency and consistency, especially for people with digestive issues, like IBS, constipation, diarrhoea, or acid reflux. If you\u2019ve had this experience don\u2019t get discouraged, trying to eat healthy and adding vegetables is the right thing to do. You just need to take a different route there.<\/p>\n

Cook them<\/strong><\/h2>\n

For some people the problem is raw veggies. Either they are genetically not that well equipped for digesting large amounts of raw veggies or their digestive system simply isn\u2019t used to a big load of plant matter after a long period of a standard fibre-lacking diet. Cooking or steaming your veggies makes them much easier to digest and even allows your body to extract more nutrients like beta-carotene.<\/p>\n

Avoid insoluble fibre<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Certain vegetables are high in insoluble fibre and those could be a problem. This type of fibre helps things get moving in your gut but doesn\u2019t dissolve in water and that means it can be a bit rough on your intestinal walls. This is not a problem with a healthy gut but for people struggling with inflammation, the mechanical brushing can exacerbate the problem.<\/p>\n

These are examples of popular veggies high in insoluble fibre. Try to limit these.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Greens like romaine lettuce, spinach, kale, or arugula
\n\u2022 Peas and green beans
\n\u2022 Bell peppers
\n\u2022 Eggplant
\n\u2022 Celery
\n\u2022 Onions, shallots, leeks, scallions, and garlic
\n\u2022 Cabbage, bok choy, Brussels sprouts
\n\u2022 Broccoli and cauliflower<\/p>\n

These are examples of popular veggies high in soluble and low in insoluble fibre. Add more of these instead.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Carrots
\n\u2022 Parsnips
\n\u2022 Beets
\n\u2022 Squash
\n\u2022 Potatoes
\n\u2022 Turnips
\n\u2022 Rutabagas
\n\u2022 Plantains<\/p>\n

Try fermented vegetables<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If the reason you\u2019re doing worse when adding veggies is gut issues, then you might do very well with fermented vegetables like sauerkraut, Kim-chi, pickled cucumbers, etc. The fermentation process pre-digests the vegetables and makes them easier to absorb and they also contain probiotics that help heal your gut.<\/p>\n

So, yes, there are times when you should avoid veggies, or at least limit their amount. And that time is when they are making you feel worse. Veggies are not magically healthy at all times. You have to listen to your body and adjust your intake gradually, based on the feedback it\u2019s giving you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
