You know what I mean!
Unfortunately, we don't have a dog I can blame, so I'm not usually a great cabbage eater...but I saw the idea of eating cabbage instead of pasta and tried it, excellent! But the amazing thing was ... NO side-effects! I think this is because it was a pointy white cabbage instead of a normal shaped one. I'm so pleased that I've bought another couple!
Try it!

It is called 'sweetheart' cabbage and is lovely gently done in butter and pepper, yum yum

Thank you @Ballerina, I didn't know its name!
I'll try it your way (but not tomorrow, because it's a fast day), it sounds nice.

Haha I had savoy cabbage tonight.........I'm blaming the dog!!

I think I must be very lucky; nothing seems to affect me that way. I'm fine with pulses. cabbage, jerusalem artichokes. Mushrooms sometimes get to me, but only if I eat a whole punnet at a time anyway. I eat loads of cabbage, all varieties. Sweetheart are lovely, and I adore savoy. Love kale, spinach and chard as well.

I have read that parsley helps counteract the problem. Try adding some into your problematic dishes, perhaps?

Here's what works for me, I bring to a boil water with the juice of a lemon, put the cabbage, the cauliflower, the sprouts, in it for a few minutes (to blanch)and only after I cook it
