List of Vegetables

[elliott]

Getting ready to do some breath tests, and they gave me a list of foods to avoid for 24 hours, to keep the test 'honest'. In other words, I wouldn't eat anything that wouldn't fully digest overnight, which may conflict my test results.

The prep list is strict and it got me to thinking... some of the foods to avoid are foods that I've been eating in abundance, trying to stay away from acidic or processed foods! Well the prep list pretty much restricts all vegetables.

I've already noticed foul results from eating too much raw kale and other cruciferous vegetables in the past, so I decided to dig around and found this list that details how certain vegetables break down. Some of the findings were a surprise to me.

It doesn't mean anything... but it's good to know that the leafy greens I've been trying to choke down have perhaps been further irritating my digestive system, not to mention legumes which "putrefy and ferment" in my body.

The suggestion from the doctor to only eat white rice and plain broiled chicken before the test was interesting. 2 foods that have never been a problem for me.
