Heather said, "Cooking sulfur-containing vegetables (like cabbage, broccoli, onions) turns the sulfur to gas and it cooks off. Cooking also really breaks down the insoluble fiber and makes that much more tolerable."
The cabbage soup AND the broccoli leek soup did not give me gas -- but I wouldn't dare go near broccoli or cabbage any other way than soup. Broccoli tears my stomach up something fierce! However, I've had that cabbage soup now for 5 nights in a row (my hubby keeps asking for it!), and I gotta confess I'm getting a little tired of it! No gas, no cramps, no pain, so I should be a happy camper -- but PUL-LEEZE! I'm like you and all that chicken and rice -- isn't there something besides cabbage soup?!?
