Part 3: 4 Groups Who May Need to Limit Cabbage Intake

• People with Severe Thyroid Conditions (Hypothyroidism): Raw cabbage contains goitrogens, compounds that can interfere with iodine uptake if eaten in large, raw quantities daily.
• Individuals with Severe IBS or Sensitive Digestion: High levels of rafftinose (a complex sugar) and fermentable fiber can cause severe bloating, painful gas, and abdominal cramps.
• Those Taking Blood Thinners (e.g., Warfarin): Cabbage is high in Vitamin K, which plays a major role in blood clotting and can interfere with blood thinner medication consistency.
• People Recovering from Recent Abdominal Surgery: High-fiber, gas-producing foods like raw cabbage can place excess strain on a healing digestive tract.
