Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hi and cooking class Yes, kohlrabi is illegal, or at least for the purposes of people coming to the diet inadvisable. Like turnip, kohlrabi, is not advisable until bowel movements have been normal for at least three months. As with other brassica vegetables it is gas forming.

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Let me make sure I understand. It is legal but only after 3 months of no symptoms, right. It is confusing because on the legal/illegal list, foods that are legal but best introduced later are indicated as legal with a comment of when it can be eaten. With kohlrabi it just says illegal without any explanation. Brussel sprouts says legal without explanation. Bok Choy says legal with an explanation. Why does this have to be so confusing? > Hi and cooking class > > Yes, kohlrabi is illegal, or at least for the purposes of people > coming to the diet inadvisable.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Hi , Some members of the brassica family seem to be easier to digest than others. Generally broccoli and cauliflower are tolerated before cabbage etc. I am not sure why turnip and kohrabi are harder to digest (maybe because they are root vegetables and are very fibrous - I don't really know) but a lot of people on the other SCD lists have reported problems with them - increased gas and D etc. There is no explanation with the brussel sprouts likely because it is under the allowable list in BTVC. The legality of Bok choy, a more " exotic' vegetable and others has come up on the other SCD lists and some of these comments are written under " notes " . I hope I haven't confused you even further - if so let me know and I'll try again to explain Sheila > > Hi and cooking class > > > > Yes, kohlrabi is illegal, or at least for the purposes of people > > coming to the diet inadvisable.
