Can you eat turnips?

I tried turnips in the past, and I recall that it made my GI symptoms worse. Now that I'm in sort of remission I'm considering trying them again. So my question comes:

Can you eat turnips without any GI problems? If so, how much is safe to eat for you?

According to this list turnips shouldn't be a problem in regards to FODMAP intolerance.

Thanks in advance.

I love turnip...i can eat them...they give me gas and I expect it. Don't confuse food symptoms with flare symptoms. If you are flaring....the.turnips won't make the flares worse, but you will notice possiby more gas since they do tend to cause gas by their composition.

Try different kinds...maybe some will be less troublesome.

Unles you were striken by those high fevers you let be till boiling point and become confused about food symptoms and flare symptoms...?

q

but if foods cause flares, wouldn't food symptoms and flare symptoms, you know, be the same ?

Turnips have a bit of fibre that might irritate some people with inflammation.

Agree generally with Quincy, that symptoms from food are not the same as a flare up. However, people with food sensitivities who repeatedly challenge their systems with food they know causes issues, may be able to give themselves a flare up.

It seems a relatively fortunate type of UC if avoidance of certain foods means you are perfectly fine. Most people are not that lucky, even having flare ups while fasting, or on extremely limited intake. Generally speaking, food sensitivity is not the same as UC.

Heather, is this a question for me or for soystud?

If it's for me, then I don't think it was the case. :)

Soy...and he knows why. I'll clarify in the future.


Question for you xy....
What are the symptoms that you think are caused by turnips?

Im saying...
Don't confuse and assume, and if food were to cause a flare....which I'm not of that belief....then you are not dealing with inflammation.

q

I can't remember the exact effects but it was of enough severity to make me stop eating it again.

Foods cause flare or not... This is a long debate of which I don't want to participate in. Just to name a few things: foods have different immunogenicities (for different people). There are other factors contributing to food- inflammation relationships (like their effects on microbiota, their monosaccharide, disaccharide content etc...).
