We all know how fruits and vegetables are good for our health. They have important vitamins, minerals, fibers, carbohydrates, carotenoids and antioxidants that have been associated with protection from heart diseases, cancer, diabetes, and hypertension.

But some of them are not recommended and can even harm your health, if you have certain disorders.

  • If you have a stomach ulcer, avoid onions, garlic, pickles and red pepper.
  • In a case of problems with your duodenum or if you have gastritis with high acidity, exclude from your diet oranges, watermelons, grapes, pomegranates, grapefruits, cabbage juice, lemons, garlic, radishes, sorrel, viburnum, plums and horseradish.
  • If you have an inflammation process in your alimentary canal, exclude onions, garlic, cabbages, radishes, leek and rutabaga.
  • If you have colitis or diarrhea, do not eat watermelons, grapes, cabbages, walnuts and horseradish.
  • If you have pancreatitis and entherocolitis, you should exclude oranges, lemons and radishes.
  • For cardiovascular disorders, onions, pickles and sorrel are not recommended.
  • If you have heart problems accompanied by edemas or have a tendency to retain fluid in your body, exclude watermelons and grapes.
  • For high blood pressure, grapes are not recommended.
  • If you have a liver disorder, do not eat onions, garlic, pickles, radishes, horseradish, spinach, sorrel and red pepper.
  • If you have gallstones, give up tomatoes and kidney beans.
  • For problems with your kidneys, exclude garlic, onions, pickles, red pepper, radishes, horseradish, spinach and sorrel.
  • If your kidneys are damaged by a potassium deficiency, grapes should be excluded.
  • If you have gout, Polyarthritis, or osteoarthritis, give up beans, raspberries, spinach, sorrel, figs and kidney beans.
  • If you have diabetes type I, do not include peaches, rice, beets and prunes in your diet.
  • If you have epilepsy, garlic is not recommended.
  • For high blood coagulation, exclude corn.
  • For cystitis, exclude parsley.
  • For nephritis (inflammation of the kidney), do not include raspberries and parsley in your diet.
  • If there is a chronic festering process in your lungs, grapes should be avoided.

Many doctors including Dr. Garnet Cheney, of Stanford University School of Medicine, to name one, conducted studies that show colitis and ulcers can be treated with freshly squeezed cabbage juice and other veggies high in vitamin U, if given enough, and taken specifically. Patience with ulcers and other stomach issues like colitis, drank 5 glasses of cabbage juice daily, and after 10 days, all of them got better.

The claim to stay away from cabbage with colitis, etc., is completely wrong. Where's the data behind the claim?

There's too much to list all that's inaccurate with this article. I'm a test case and I should know.

Hi! I do take full responsibility for each word in each article I wrote. That's why I put my name on them.
I do a lot of research before I claim anything. I absolutely agree with you that cabbage juice helps with stomach ulcers. I actually wrote "Fruit and Vegetable Juices - An Alternative To Pills" article almost a year ago where I mentioned how good cabbage juice is for stomach issues. Here is the link: http://searchwarp.com/swa149353.htm

However, in this particular short article I am talking about cabbage as a vegetable, not juice. So, why should cabbage be avoided for colitis and diarrhea?

Cabbage is an example of insoluble fiber."This type of fibre passes through the whole of the digestive tract without being digested - and hence has a tenancy to adhere to the wall of the colon when it is inflamed. This irritates the colon - and hence will aggravate any colitis. As a rough guide if you can see particles/undigested matter in the stool this is insoluble fibre."(www.ulcerativecolitis.org.uk/dietarychanges.htm)

"Typical foods to avoid are:
-Foods that may irritate the intestine, particularly so-called Brassica vegetables (cabbage, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cauliflower, kale)." (University Of Maryland Medical Center, www.umm.edu/patiented/articles/what_role_of_diet_ulcerative_colitis_000069_7.htm)

"Ulcerative Colitis. Diet: Avoid problem foods. Eliminate any other foods that seem to make your symptoms worse. These may include "gassy" foods such as beans, cabbage and broccoli, raw fruit juices and fruits "(From MayoClinic.com Special To CNN.com, www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/DS/00598.html).

Please, let me know, if you have any other questions.
Happy Holidays!
