Brief Answer:
Cabbage is known as a "gassey vegetable"
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for coming to HCM.
Have you tried taking it cooked? If seasoned with sage,fennel, ginger or cumin it may help reduce the gas. Not everyone experiences gas with cabbage but if you are a lucky one, you might want to consider taking a anti-gas medication when you eat cabbage or cooking it with the seasons mentioned above.
Cabbage contains fermentable carbohydrates called oligosaccarides. Raw cabbage will create more gas than cooked. Cooked cabbage will produce less gas if combined with the noted spices. If all else fails, to enjoy your cabbage you may need to take a gas pill.
Good Luck! My best wishes to you. XXXXXXX Shattler, MS,RDN
