@pdilly I have gastroparesis and as it was diagnosed at Mayo GI in MN, I was telling the doctor of what reactions I had with broccoli ... (vomiting up the broccoli separately from the combination of things I had eaten for the meal earlier.... )... The broccoli obviously stayed in the stomach longer... The doctor said that, that reaction was the best reason not to have to deal with broccoli ever again. So I have followed his sage advice now for many years .. I recall also that GHW Bush banned broccoli from the White House menu because he did not like it .... Before I had developed this post operative gastroparesis, I liked broccoli... There are so many other ways to get that vitamin or fiber.. Steaming vegetables is so much better than boiling them as you do not lose so many nutrients..
