I'm confused with the no starch veggies... Can someone please list safe veggies for those with stage 4 klebsiella?
Not sure what stage 4 kleb means, but I'll give you my list of safe no-starch veggies:
Broccoli, kale, chard, spinach, gai lan (Chinese broccoli), baby bok choy, mustard greens, avocados, lettuce, cucumbers (no cores), olives, celery, walnuts, garlic
Also, are zucchini, yellow summer zucchini, sunflower seeds butter, pumpkin seeds, avocado, Cauliflower, rutabaga, turnips, haricots verts, Brussel sprouts, and cabbage safe for nsd?
Everyone's different, so take my response with a grain of salt. Early in the NSD, I couldn't eat avocado. Nowadays, I do eat them. I agree with Light's comments on organic avocados and only eat them when they're in season. Cauliflower tested starchy for me, but I know a number of people eat it with no ill effect. At one point, I will try it again. Brussel sprouts also turned black with iodine, but since it is a 'fringe' vegetable for others, I will likely try my luck with it again. Haricot verts are definitely off limits. Cabbage is generally OK, but I find that the core of the cabbage tests positive for starch so I try to avoid the cores. I like naturally fermented sauerkraut. Zucchini's are a fringe food for me. I find that sometimes they are safe and sometimes they test positive for starch. Ultimately I avoided because it was a pain to cut out the core (which is starchy).
