Yep, I am one of the 20% who can't digest kale. I was on a kale kick last summer and made a juice of kale, carrot, ganny smith apple, fennel and ginger.

I take a probiotic but nothing was going to digest that kale. I make my green shake with organic powdered wheatgrass juice. I use spinach in my quiche recipe and in salads, but No kale!

Kale is super healthy but if you are not used to a rich fibre food I would introduce it first in small amounts. Not only kale but all sorts of green leafy vegetables, broccoli, beets, beans lentils etc… as your gut flora adapts to the higher fibre content you’ll feel less bloated. :) just be persistent and always eat in small amount all types of vegetables and as you get used to it you can increase the quantity. :)

One the best way to fix those two problems is to steam it rather than eating it raw. Especially if it is affecting your thyroid. Cycle between spinach, collard, kale, lettuce, parsley and other green leaves. I always steam a bit and it even tastes better.

[@BenHayat]

Bleedinggums roberts; Raw kale may not affect everyone the same way.Try it with small amount to start with. IT IS the best green vegie with lots of minerals, vitamins and even protein. So, I'd not brush it off. Or you can use Swiss chard and Spinach. These are my main vegies.

[@melaniejames6006]

when you are home, work up to more raw. you can always pack a cooler with salads and juices, especially if you have an electric one you can plug into in your truck. you can juice and freeze, then put in cooler and will last a few days at least. otherwise, snacks like raw nuts and seed that have been soaked and dehydrated are good. takes prep, but worth the effort. try to focus on small changes otherwise you get overloaded. and stay hydrated!

You can get constipated from too much fibre for sure. In fact it can be the leading cause of constipation. If your having problems with your gut, make sure to thoroughly research the difference between soluble had insoluble fibre. 9 out of 10 GP's will just tell you "eat more fibre" without having a clue of what they are talking about.

[@ShoulderMonster]

I think improperly digested fiber is what causes constipation. As he said, the microbes in your gut can only consume so much fiber. Without them, we can't digest it. So if they're overloaded, the rest is left undigested. Fiber is great, but too much of anything is bad.

Funny how a vegetable becomes the "best thing on the planet" , but give it enough time and people will look for something to condemn it. Kale was, is, and always will be good for you, you just can't do what most Americans do, and that's take it to extremes. That being said, we are all bio-identically different, and foods have different effects on different people. Listen to your body, but I will bet a rational amount of kale in the diet will be in your best health interest!

[@bleedinggumsroberts3579]

birage so it will be best to mix kale lettuce spinach and other foods? I'm trying to find the best solution here with raw foods.

[@birage9885]

Absolutely, remember that we need diversity in our diet. Mixing greens will give a broader spectrum of nutrients, rather than just eating a lot of one particular type of green that may be strong in certain nutrients, but lacking in others, hence the reason to include many different types of vegetables (providing you don't have an allergy or reaction to any sort of food). Also, cruciferous vegetables, as well as most vegetables are better digested when cooked and eliminate the goitrigen factor that allegedly suppresses the thyroid. If you have a strong digestive sytem you may not have a problem with raw vegetables, but people with SIBO, for example, have a hard time with raw and should stay with cooked. As they say, listen to your body. If you get gassy, crampy, etc., you may need to cook your greens. Good luck and be healthy.

You should also point out that, like spinach, Kale is great in terms of phytonutrients . . . but it does contain oxalic acid, which in excessive amounts may cause kidneys stones, gout, rheumatoid arthritis. The key is to consume kale (here's that loaded word again) in "moderation"; don't over do it. Listen to your body (if you feel funny afterwards, cut back) . Also, lightly boiling, steaming or fermentation reduces the amount of oxalic acid.

Thank you! Finally! could you also talk about how RAW kale vs. COOKED kale ALTERS THE THYROID NEGATIVELY?????

[@charlesazevedo4849]

Dr. Berg, how can we know if it is depleting iodine? How much seaweed to add? Thank you

[@selenachannel2782]

When I was young My brother used to tell me that kale was grown for cows to eat!! Now I know why it causes consipation to humans lol!

[@susydyson1750]

jaja 😜

[@juerbert1]

How many different stomachs do cows have available when they chew their cud ??

[@dollymamahealth9770]

Here ya go: Put two oolong tea bags into one cup water. Steep. Add 4-6 handfuls kale into the Vitamix. Process 2-3 minutes at high speed. Turn off machine. Add: 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp sea salt 1 tsp vanilla 1/8 tsp lecithin Stevia to taste 1 more cup water Process until smooth. Pour over ice into a quart Mason jar. Add straw first. Tastes fabulous!

[@nimitytei4715]

kale is disgusting, i realize why now, my body realizes its just not made for me, SPINACH on the other hand is so awesome, its like its telling me to eat it

[@TheRealMonnie]

Nimity Tei I'm the same way. cooking it helps.

[@MsGlamourcat]

As a health freak I can attest also that I hate kale and love spinach! Here in Australia though we get KALETTES which are little kale-like things about the size of a brussel sprout and they are delicious and only available in winter for some reason. I lightly steam them then dust with a little salt and pepper.

[@moodyblues8781]

Nimity Tei I never liked it either... But I'm having a gallbladder attack from the data in k2. So I decided to juice some. I had to put Stevie in it... Tastes a lot better.

[@zeynand4039]

Nimity Tei kale should be cooked and than its tasty. People promote raw kale but that is not tasty and hard to digest.

[@zeynand4039]

By the way andives are a good replacer of kale. It is in the kale family but tast mild and is less dark green. It tast almost like cabbage or something

Can Magnesium counteract the constipation problem?

[@gmo709]

That was funny how you emphasized fiber. Fie - Burrrr. lol

[@averyt6521]

Lol

[@coryburns9161]

I probably will never experience problems with eating Kale.

[@josephgodfrey8468]

Thank you for pointing out the constipation/ bloating issues. If it were to happen to ME I might think that the kale was NOT the instigator.

[@WillieStubbs]

I like to eat the Southern Green mixtures that include spinach, turnips, and collard greens. My mom used to boil them to death until I'm sure there was no nutrients left in them, but I cook them in avocado oil until they just turn color.

[@brucebeamon5460]

I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR VIDEOS they are SHORT and to the POINT ~ wish MORE CONTENT CREATORS would follow your system.

[@IAM369IAM]

Would integrating fermented vegetables and ACV into the diet helps with better digestion of kale/ too much fiber? Thank you so much for your videos Dr Berg, I’m so grateful that I’ve learned so much knowledge from you. Best wishes to you and your team, whoever that’s behind the scene that works so hard to keep this channel going for everyone!

[@patricianunez4025]

I learn alot from the comments/people's experience. Too much coconut oil and magnesium causes liquid stools! I didn't know that.

[@pleasantlyme6136]

Kale constipates meeee OMG and I'm stalled on the scale since adding kale, wtf dude. Definitely gonna go back to spinach.

[@nimitytei4715]

yeaa for some people it doesnt work, you just have to try different things, and see what works best for you, i cant eat kale either, it bloats me like a giant balloon, and also tastes disgusting to me.

[@bradleypoole4809]

Every few day's add Kale freeze it. Mix it with spinach.

[@moodyblues8781]

I tried juicing my kale... All I can say is it helped my gallbladder pain after starting K2 and D3. I had to put a stevia in it... It was good!😀

[@timothybullock5418]

Wow. Just wow.

[@iffyorange501]

I totally got bloated from juicing kale with other veggies but didn't know why. Thank u.

[@lovelyeyessee]

..first internet video i've seen that expresses the potential negatives of Kale. I get sooooo locked up with Kale.

[@brothercaleb]

...even cooked? (2yrs later I know)

[@lovelyeyessee]

Love kale 🤗

[@lyndamedley4789]

Can't do spinach. Histsmines. But choose romaine salads and kale but not daily. I serve kale lightly steamed. Found a nice source of frozen organic kale i use. Moderation works and variety of veges something different at altering meals

[@DoodleDoo]

"being constipated with fiber" this doc is the most hipster of them all.

[@delynng1088]

Tell that to my gut. I could not defecate for two days because I ate too much fiber.

I once constipated and nearly fainted was horrible..the dry thick faeces we're stuck and painful...had to inject some sort of gel and pous pous there it went
