Cabbage (Band Gobhi) – Side Effects
Cabbage is healthy, but eating it in excess or in certain conditions can cause problems:
1. Gas & Bloating
High fiber and sulfur compounds can cause gas, acidity, and stomach pain
More common when eaten raw
2. Thyroid Problems
Raw cabbage contains goitrogens
May interfere with thyroid function, especially in hypothyroidism
Cooking reduces this effect
3. Digestive Discomfort
May cause diarrhea or cramps if eaten too much
Sensitive stomachs may feel discomfort
4. Blood Thinning Effect
High in vitamin K
Can interfere with blood-thinning medicines (like warfarin)
5. Allergic Reaction (Rare)
Itching, swelling, or rashes in some people
6. IBS & Sensitive Gut Issues
Can trigger symptoms in people with IBS or weak digestion
7. Goitrogen Effect in Excess
Long-term, excessive raw cabbage intake may reduce iodine absorption
