An old school friend (who shall remain nameless!) used to sporadically do the cabbage soup diet and lets just say based on how gassy she was I’m surprised white cabbage is low in FODMAPs!
But I’m really happy about it too as cabbage rocks! This is one of my favourite, easy and quick go-to meals. It’s really tasty and full of protein.
Enjoy!
