High fiber may be too harsh during healing
What to do:
Follow your doctor or dietitian’s post-surgery food guidelines
Reintroduce cabbage only when a healthcare provider says it’s appropriate
Final Thoughts
Cabbage is a nutrient-rich vegetable that most people can enjoy regularly. But for individuals with thyroid concerns, digestive sensitivities, blood-thinning medications, or recent digestive surgery, it may require caution or moderation.
If you belong to one of these groups—or aren’t sure whether cabbage is right for you—it’s always safest to check with a healthcare professional who understands your medical history.
