It is not kind to my digestive system (If you know what I mean) It is my fav veggie, does anyone have a suggestion on why it would do this to me? I dont want to give up broccoli, but I can't handle the side effects...

    Have you tried cooking it longer? I know some people can't eat broccoli raw, but if it's pretty thoroughly cooked, it's okay.

    Or beano might help with that.

    Try Beano. It's available in pill and used to be available in drop form in which you'd just put a few drops on your first bite of food.

    I counted Weight Watcher's points last year. I know what you mean about the fiber and the effects of it. :-\

    I LOOOOVVVEEEE broccoli but have found that eating it raw is pretty hard on my stomach. If it's steamed or roasted it's much more easily digested.

    THanks for the advice, I never knew there could be a difference if you cooked it! I love raw broccoli but I guess I will have to give it up or pick up some beano!

    Beano. Seriously -- my husband, mom and sister in law all need it, use it and it works.
