Cabbage
The versatility of cabbage is plain to see thanks to all the different recipes you can make with the vegetable. As a part of a healthy diet, cabbage has the capacity to improve various recipes. However, cabbage is a part of FODMAP foods. It causes a buildup of gas, which in turn can make diverticulitis work. For those who don’t have the condition, the buildup is usually what causes the growths to appear in the first place, which does not cause any symptoms at the beginning.
It’s not easy to diagnose someone of diverticulosis, which is the presence of the growths. As such, people unknowingly eat FODMAP foods such as cabbage, irritating the growths and potentially causing problems down the road. The result is diverticulitis, where the growths are irritated enough that it causes symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, and more.
The ironic thing is how cabbage can potentially keep general inflammation in check. However, due to the gas buildup, it can irritate the growths in the intestine enough to trigger diverticulitis symptoms.
