When i eat a lot of raw brocoli my back hurts?
Everytime?
Like directly in the middle of my back?
I'm not sure how i even made the correlation but..
Yep, it does.
Just wanted to share.

That is weird. Is that a place people get gas pains?0

I'm not sure.. Its right in the middle of my back all the way across...
Broccoli hurts my back.
I love the stuff tho man0 -
Do you use a lot of butter or olive oil on it? Do you still have your gallbladder?0
-
Might just be coincidental? Have you tried days where you don't consume broccoli to see if the pain occurs?0
-
I have my gall bladder, yes.
I use light ranch most times, but even without it is the same..
Just raw brocoli, if i eat it steamed it doesnt seem to have the same effect.
Im thinking & wondering if it could actually be my intestine, but would i feel it in my back? Maybe it's the brocoli doing its fiber thing?

Back pain makes me think gallbladder. But yes, you could feel gas in your back. Hopefully it's just gas!0
-
First thing that comes to mind is gallbladder.0

Hopefully gas.. I don't want surgery and downtime and all that0

I too think of gallbladder. Only a mild attack. I still have them from time to time even though my bladder is out. And I rarely see any correlation between what I've eaten and the attacks. Too much roughage is the usual suspect, so I weigh vegetables carefully. Fat causes no problem for me.0

Raw broccoli is associated with reduced thyroid function, but I have not heard anything related to back pain.
(The thyroid issue is resolved by cooking the broccoli)0 -
Some foods can assist bile flow, things like beetroot as we call it here, there are lists on line probably under liver support. I've had more problems after two operations to remove things which had I been aware of all the possible after effects I'd not have gone along with them, as readily, or in the form they took. I'm now of the opinion that we have these bits which do several functions, so we need them. Best I can do is treat what's left as best I can.0

This sounds like gas pains to me.
With your gallbladder you're more likely to get 'attacks' having consumed foods high in fat. And those 'attacks' would likely end you up in hospital. They're less like back ache and more like "Omg kill me to put me out of this pain".

Yeah, just back aches.. Probably is gas.
Better get some beano or something lol0 -
I vote for gas pains. Raw broccoli makes me so gassy it's not even worth eating even though I love it. Gas pains can occur in weird places.
If you lightly steam it, you will decrease/ eliminate the gas issue and it's still delicious, especially sprinkled with salt and pepper.0 -
Girl, it's probably gas. It does it to me, too. D;0

many people have gas issues with these types of veggies0 -
I don't eat broccoli, but I do get similar pain if I take a pill without enough water.0
